OK a scanner is used to take a picture or drawing (any be reluctant really) and put a digital copy of it onto your computer. If you have a 3 within one the driver for your scanner should already be installed. Just put whatever you want to scan onto the chalice surface close the lid and press the scan button on your scanner. Then follow any instructions on the comp screen.
A scanner will allow you to scan documents or pictures so that you can see them on the computer contained by the form of a digital picture.

If the printer is already connected then you really inevitability to hook anything up.

All you really need to do is press a button on the printer that will allow you to scan a document.
From the all-in-one you should own a Scan To feature to notify the printer whether you are scanning to Image, OCR or Email etc. The software on the computer also requirement to be set-up to direct the scan to the right program.

Or
Open the program that came beside your all-in-one, usually a photo editing or photo management program. Click on the scanner Icon or find the scan part in the menu. Make any selection required. (Color, Black &White, DPI, OCR etc.)

If there is a preview side, preview the scan first. If its a picture, change the scan nouns to match the size of the picture .

Scan the picture/document. Then let go the picture in the format of your choice. For a picture,usually jpg.

If you enjoy a OCR featue scan it to a (text only) program like Notepad. Then cut and smooth mixture into a wordprocessor. This makes editing eaaer.
