Scanners and Cameras

Use this quick guide to locate information about scanners or cameras. You will find information about installing and configuring scanners or cameras, information about troubleshooting problems with your scanner or camera, and detailed information about imaging architecture.

 Install your scanner or camera.

The first step to using a scanner or camera is installing it on your computer.

See Installing later in this chapter.

 Configure your scanner or camera.

You might need to configure your scanner or camera, depending on the type you are using. If you have an automatically detected Plug and Play scanner or camera, such as one that uses a USB connection, you might not need to configure your device. However, if you have a manually detected Plug and Play scanner or camera, a scanner that provides pushbutton scanning, or a camera that uses IrTran-P, you might need to configure the device further.
