They are able to scan pictures into image files; they can also scan text into word documents.

To scan text:
Click START
Choose PROGRAMS
Choose CAERE
Choose OMNI PAGE PRO
Click on the Auto icon
Follow the onscreen instructions depending on what kind of scanning you are going to do.
To scan images:
Click START
Choose Programs
Choose MS Photo Editor
Click on File
Scan image.
Choose the attached scanner
Choose the settings that you want to scan at (these options will vary depending on the scanner that is installed.)
If you are satisfied with the image, choose File, Save as.
The screen that opens will allow you to choose how to save the file. Jpg and gif are compressed formats, which means the images take up less space on the disk. Tif and bmp are uncompressed. This means you get the best image quality but uses more disk space.
You can now save the file either to a floppy disk or to your network drive.
(Remember floppy disks only hold 1.44MB)
When finished, be sure to log out of the system.
Click START
Choose Shutdown
Choose Restart the Computer and click ok.
