davew27 Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 This computer has rubbish scanning software! :angry: Anyone know any good free scanning software? :1zhelp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christmascracker Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 What do you want to scan for and what are you using at the moment? :blush: oops, got the wrong end of the stick as usual :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Surely the scanning software has nothing to do with the computer, it will have come with the scanner. I don't know much about scanners even though I use one, but I would have thought that it would be difficult to adapt another program to the scanner. Maybe I'm wrong.

expertec Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 The scanner software is perfectly good, you just don't know what you're doing with it. :rolleyes: If you learn Linux, it has good scanning software.

madboy33 Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 there probably is a setting somewhere, however, have you looked under "Properties" within the software.My Pictures is the usual place to save the scanned document Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expertec Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 There is a setting, just he doesn't know how to use the software. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
