Can I - how do I - scan a document to my iMAC from my HP C4180 printer?
Thanx

Hey there Bob,
It sounds like you need assistance getting a printer/scanner setup for you to scan some images or documents to your computer. This article should help you do that, named:
OS X Mavericks: Scan an image
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14251
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Printers & Scanners.
Select your scanner in the list at the left, then click Open Scanner on the right.If your scanner is also a printer, you may need to click Scan on the right before you can click Open Scanner.If you don’t see an Open Scanner button, check the documentation that came with your scanner to see how to perform scans.
Choose how to scan your images.
To use a scanner with an automatic document feeder, see:Scan pages with a document-feeding scanner
To use a flatbed or transparency scanner, see:Scan images with a flatbed scanner
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Optical character recognition--how do I scan a document to text I can edit.

Optical character recognition--how do I scan a document to text I can edit?

You first scan the document to a PDF. Then you run OCR from within Acrobat. Depending on your setup, the OCR may be run automatically.
If you want to edit so the changes show on the screen, you will need to use ClearScan. The other two searchable options put the OCR text in a layer behind the image of your original document.

Hi Riceburner1,
Since you have had difficulty scanning using My Image Garden, you can scan using the IJ Scan Utility program that also comes with the printer. To do this, please follow these steps:
1. Place the documents in the ADF or on the platen glass of the printer.
2. Start the IJ Scan Utility.
For Windows 8.1:
1. On your keyboard, press the Windows key.
2. Start typing IJ SCAN UTILITY. The search window opens as you type. Once the IJ SCAN UTILITY is displayed, please select and open it, then continue with Step 3 below.
For Windows XP:
1. Go to your START MENU, then select ALL PROGRAMS, then CANON UTILITIES, then the IJ SCAN UTILITY program.
2. In the Canon IJ Scan Utility window that opens, click SETTINGS.... in the bottom right of the window. The Settings dialog box appears. Please continue with Step 3 below.
3. In the Canon IJ Scan Utility window that opens, click SETTINGS.... in the bottom right of the window. The Settings dialog box appears.
4. Click the DOCUMENT SCAN option on the left pane of the window. In the Select Source field of the Scan Options section, select DOCUMENT (ADF/PLATEN) to scan items placed directly on the platen glass, DOCUMENT (ADF SIMPLEX) to perform single-sided scanning from the ADF, or DOCUMENT (ADF DUPLEX) to perform double-sided scanning using the ADF. You can then set the item size, resolution, etc. in the Scan Options section as desired.
5. In the SAVE SETTINGS section of the window, you will select the save format and location of the document you are about to scan.
a.) In the FILE NAME field, specify the name you would like to give the file. By default the filename will begin with IMG; you can remove IMG and change it to whatever you would like to name the file. Please note that the filename that you give the document here will be the default filename for all items scanned until you change the file name. If you leave the file name the same in the field, the scanned item will have a sequential number appended to the end of whatever name you give it.
b.) In the DATA FORMAT field, use the drop-down arrow to select the desired option. If you are scanning a multipage document, select the PDF (Multiple Pages) option.
c.) In the SAVE IN field, please navigate to the area where you would like the file to be saved once it is scanned in. By default, the file will be saved in the MY DOCUMENTS folder.
6. In the APPLICATION SETTINGS section of the window, please select the DO NOT START ANY APPLICATION option.
7. Once all settings have been selected, click the OK button at the bottom of the SETTINGS (DOCUMENT SCAN) window. The IJ Scan Utility main screen appears.
8. Click the DOCUMENT button. Scanning starts. Click the CANCEL button to cancel scanning if needed. Once the scan is completed, scanned images are saved in the previously selected folder location specified in the SETTINGS... window.
Hope this helps!

How do you scan a document from printer to convert to PDF?

How do you scan a document from printer to convert to PDF?

Have the scanner connected to the computer.
Have the scanner software installed.
Check the scanner manufacturer's website for the most recent / updated drivers and install same.
Have Acrobat XI installed.
While Acrobat XI can make use of Windows WIA drivers Acrobat "likes" TWAIN drivers best.
So, if available, have the latest-greatest TWAIN.
Acrobat can communicate with the scanner via the scanner software.
An alternative --
Scan directly to TIFF. Then use Acrobat to create PDF from the TIFF.
Some scanners come with software to output to PDF directly; if present you could use that.
Be well...

HP Officejet 6500A How do I scan a document with multiple pages into one file?

HP Officejet 6500A Plus e-All-in-One Printer - E710n

How do I scan a document with multiple pages into one file? My old printer (psc 2110) asked after each scan if I wanted to scan another page. At the end I had one pdf file with multiple pages.
This new one creates one file for each page and I cannot find a way to create one pdf file with multiple pages.
This question was solved.

I don't have the option "Create from Scanner". How do I scan my documents?

I am trying to scan multiple documents (to save and email), but I don't have the option of "Create from Scanner" on the Adobe Reader XI. How do I scan my documents (multiple pages on one file, not each page on a seperate file)?

Nearly all word processors have the option to "insert" a picture or "aquire" an image so repeatedly accumulate your images in any document

How do i scan a document from the printer to send in an email to some one else i have a HP-B209

how do i scan a document from the printer to send in an email to someone else

Hi!
To scan:
You may press the start scan button on the printers control panel or use the HP solution center that must be installed in your computer to scan a document or photo.
Scan to email:
Some printers don't have the option in the control panel for scan to email. Mostly it is with the HP solution center software that should be installed in your printer.
Note:
For Windows the software is called HP solution center
For Mac it is called HP utility

How do i scan a document to a PDF

Many scanners will do this directly any more. The other alternative is to open a TIFF that you might create from the scanner in Acrobat. The last alternative is to Open Acrobat and use the scanner from within Acrobat.

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

How do i set up a new lion imac from a snow leopard imac using time machine?

How do i set up a new lion imac from a snow leopard imac using time machine?

Connect the two via Firewire cable - Transferring files between two computers using FireWire. Boot the old iMac into Target Disk Mode. Boot the new iMac normally.
If you are starting the new iMac for the first time then do the above before you turn on the new iMac. After you turn on the new iMac you will begin in the Setup Assistant. When you complete the registration screens you will be offered an opportunity to migrate your data from another Mac. Follow the instructions to migrate your old Home folder, third-party applications and support files, and system preferences to the new iMac.
If you have already gone through the Setup Assistant and created an initial admin user account, then you do the connection step but will use Migration Assistant in the Utilities folder of the new iMac.
