FLUXLIST: How to work scanner

[Roger Stevens]

Hi, Carol   Regarding your scanner difficulties.   Here's how it works.   Place thing to be scanned in the bit that does the scanning. Find button marked "scan" and press it. If it does not scan check that it is plugged in and that there is electricity flowing through it. There's usually a little light somewhere which tells you this. If you can't find the little light look in the manual.(There should be a manual with it.) (Not look for the light IN the manual, obviously. There won't be a little light there.) Or else you can check at night by turning all other lights off and then seeing if there's one glowing on the scanner. (You'll need the lights tho' to read the manual.) Anyway, when you press the "scanner" button there will be lots of whirring noises. Don't worry. This is normal. Look at your computer screen and you should see the thing you scanned there. Did I mention that you have to plug the scanner in to the computer? Actually, having the computer "on" could affect the little light which will tell you if the scanner is on. It might be best to check that BEFORE you turn the computer on. Anyway, good luck with your scanning. Hope this helps.   XXX Roger   NP Whirring
