For scanning pics onto my computer? Im very new to this although its been around for so many years. I have been without a printer for almost 6 years and im so happy to say I have one now, it scans and copies also. Now what I would like to know is do I need a digital camera in order to scan a picture onto my computer.

Hi caroll
Good to hear that you got yourself a printer. They are really neat to have.
You can take pics and have them developed at a local store and then you can scan them to the computer. The easier way would to be get that digital camera wich comes with a little card that you put into the computer and presto the pics are there. I think it might be well worth you time to invest in a small camera. Let me know how that works out. Keep smiling.

Hi, Caroll! Congrats on your new printer!

You don't necessarily need a camera, but they tend to deliver better quality pictures, due to higher pixel levels. But if you have a camera on your phone, you can take photos with that, and transfer them onto your computer.

You should have a USB lead that came with your phone, and an installation disk? Pop this into your computer and it'll load automatically, then you can use this programme to upload your photos. If you don't have an installation disk with your phone, you'll be able to use your printer programme to upload the photos.

If you're using your printer programme, your instruction leaflet which came with the printer should tell you exactly how to start downloading. So you now just have to remember where you put that pesky USB lead!

Hello caroll,
I think you have great interest in digital photography and arts. Probably you have all the devices for your setup now. You can scan your images through scanner or snap any image with your camera to store them in your hard disk. It is sure that through digital camera you will get better resolutions than your scanner. Nowadays the digital cameras are available from a wide range and they are not very expensive too.

To scan pictures (that are already printed) use the scanner provided in your printer, The Digicam is for taking pictures and video and can be used to transfer pictures/videos from your Camera to your Computer's HD or Flashdrive which can be later printed.

Hi caroll, you don't need digital camera because the printer only need the driver from CD and download some necessary software. To scan or copies, put the paper in your printer.
