INTRODUCTION

If you have a scanner, you can set it up and then use it to scan documents and illustrations. When you connect a scanner, Windows XP should query the scanner and then prompt you to install the proper driver (the scanner file that tells Windows about the scanner and how it works). If this automatic set up does not occur, you can use the Add Device wizard to set up the scanner.

Click the Add an imaging device link to start the Scanner and Camera Installation Wizard.
