Instructions for using a computer to perform print and scan tasks

In many cases, computers and the Internet can reduce the amount of paperwork that we need to use. However, not always, sometimes using ink paper in some cases makes it much more convenient.

You can completely print and scan in Windows XP without using any other programs.

Perform printing

There are a lot of people who are familiar with printing documents already but the purpose of this article is also towards those who have not used the printing feature from Windows so we will still introduce this section.

To do the printing job, the first thing you have to do is buy a printer, connect it to your computer, load paper to the machine and turn on the power supply to the printer. Follow these steps to print:

1. Open the document, Web page or email that you want to print.

2. Click the File menu, and then click Print .

3. In the Print dialog box, review all settings for the page and the number of copies. If you want to change the print quality or other printer settings, click the Preferences button, then click Print .

Windows XP will print your documents. Be sure to provide enough printing paper for your device so you don't run out of paper when you need to print something important.

Perform Scan

What is a scan? Document scanning is the transfer of paper data (books, newspapers, magazines, documents, contracts .) into data on computers. Easy to move, convert data, search data and lifetime is forever. Do not worry about rotting, fading, tearing. Especially scanning documents to help protect your data better.

To do this, you must purchase a scanner or a multifunction device that is both printable and scanable, connect it to the computer and plug in the power. If the scanner needs to be used in conjunction with genuine software, you can use that section to scan the document. Follow the instructions below for scanners to be able to scan using the Scanner and Camera Wizard in Windows XP.
