Utilizing our "See It and Do It" Program, you will see a live Scan performed and projected and then each of the Participants present will "Do It" using a Senior Center Laptop.
What better way to learn than doing it right after seeing it.
This will be fun for all!
How to Do It:
1. Scanning- Documents to PDF or Pictures to JPEG.
Here’s how to get started scanning at the Senior Center.
To scan anything, your computer must have what is known as a driver for the
HP 8500 A910 Printer, Copier, Fax and Scanner. You can use any SC computer
to Scan. If you selected Checklist no 8, use the installation disc to install the
SC printer as an extra printer on your computer. Make sure to indicate it is NOT
your default printer or it will change your home printing.
