Question

How can I scan from a printer to computer with Windows 10?

Community Answer

If you have a printer disk, it will definitely have a printing software. Otherwise install the driver of your printer (use an online search engine if you need further help), and use Windows Fax and Scan to scan.

I have a lot of old slides from the 1960s, and they are dusty. What is the best way to clean them before scanning into my computer?

Use a can of compressed air and blow it over the slides at an angle.

Question

How do I place the slide on the scanner?

Community Answer

There should be a large button towards the back of the scanner. Press this and the top should flip up and you can replace the slides.
