Scanning in Windows Vista

A common question we are asked is how do I scan a document when using Vista?

If you have a scanner, either combined with your printer or a standalone scanner the steps to scan a document are:

Step 1: Place the document to be scanned faced down on the scanner.

Step 2: Click Start, select All Programs and then Windows Photo Gallery.

Step 3: Click File and then select Import from Camera or Scanner. A new window will open with your printer/scanner will be highlighted in the window – just click the Import button.

Step 4: Another new window will open where you can change the quality settings of the scan. Setting the Resolution higher increases the quality but remember the larger the file. Then click the Scan button

Step 5: When the scan is finished a small window opens in the bottom right hand corner, click Import.

Step 6: By default the scanned document is now stored in your Pictures folder under the days date.
