My printer is telling to configure the scanner to my computer

I have a new Acer laptop, I am trying to scan a document to my email ac, my computer telling me I can only scan or print from an App. How or where do I get the appropriate App. And then how do I use it. I am a young 60 year old and I am not very technically minded, although I manage, I also use an iPad, and iPhone. Thanks , pearldrops

  • Multifunction printer - how to configure the scanner

    Hi,
    I just finished installing a multifunction printer - Canon Mx 310 to the print server using a computer with Win 7 (64bit).
    The printing option works perfect. Now I need to configure the scanner option, since I get an error that no scanner is connected when trying to use the scanning option.I connected the multifunction printer directly to the computer and I am able to scan.
    Can someone guide me in how to configure the print server so the computer can detect the scanning port.
    Thanks

    I will try the software at the page you linked to.  I am in a similar boat, in that one of my machines is Windows 7, but the utility on my XP machine doesn't see the print server even though it's there and can be accessed on the network as a printer by both machines.

  • I just upgraded to a new iMac running OS X 10.8.2 and can't scan from by Brother MHC 7820N.  Printer works.  I reinstalled the scanner driver but when I try to scan, the scanner doesn't connect to the imac.  Image Capture says no scanner connected.

    I just upgraded to a new imac running OS X 10.8.2 and am having trouble scanning from my Brother MHC 7820N.  Printer works fine but the scanner won't connect to the imac.  I reinstalled the scanner driver from Brother.com but no luck.  When I go to Image Capture, it says no scanner connected.  Any suggestions?

    You might try a third party scanner software. Printer manufacturers are terrible about keeping their products updated. I'd recommend VueScan, you can get a trial version here and if it works and you like it you can purchase it.

  • How do I configure the settings on my MBP and Apple TV so it will stream my Netflix movies from my MBP to the TV Screen?]

    I bought a new Apple TV 3rd Gen.(which is currently updated) so I could stream the Netflix movies on my MacBook Pro Computer running Yosemite, onto my TV Screen. However, if I configure the settings on my Computer and Apple TV so that everything on my Desktop is displayed on the TV Screen, then Netflix can't even get the movie on my MBP open. It just keeps spinning until I get an error message about not being able to use Mirroring or Air Play if I want to stream my movie to the TV. So, when I switched the settings so that all mirroring and Air Play options were unchecked and selected all the streaming options using the internet. Then the Netflix movie would open up quick and easy, but there was nothing on the TV Screen.
    I also was never able to Pair my Apple TV with my Bluetooth.(If they;re even supposed to be Paired, but something I read implied they should be Paired.f)  My MBP Bluetooth discovered the Apple TV immediately and issued a Pairing Number to enter in the Bluethooth's setting for the Apple TV, but the Apple TV Bluetooth just kept spinning. I don't know if that is part of the problem or not, since it wasn't mentioned in any documentation I read.
    Also, when I was digging for information on the browser, going to Netflix Website and Apple TV's information at apple.com, I did come across a few links while searching the browser for any answers to my questions, that said I needed to Activate my Netflix Account for streaming by finding my Apple TVs activation code and then enter it on Netflix's site in my Netflix account.  And other's mentioned a registration code from my Apple TV needed to be entered to activate the "streaming" of Netflix movie content. And again, I've searched for hours and hours trying to find out where or how I could find the two codes, but never had any success. So, I have exhausted all avenues I can think of and with no luck, and I'm hoping my wonderful Apple Community can help me out or get me heading in the right direction.  Thanks, RVAF

    There is a native Netflix app on Apple TV. If you are attempting to use a VPN via MBP then that is not supported.

  • Adobe not recognizing scanner. How do I get the scanner/printer linked to adobe for scanning

    if i go to create pdf from scanner, configurations, it has NO OPTIONS for me to choose a prnter/scanner. I use the printer, but the scanner isn't showing up in the adobe
    please help

    Please give us info on the printer/scannner, OS and version of Acrobat. Not all scanners are supported. The printer/scanner company has to provide the appropriate driver. For example, my Fijustsu ScanSnap has never been and likley never would be supported, but I knew that when I purchased the scanner.

  • The scanner portion of my HP C6150 printer isn't being initialized/found by our system.

    We had our Imac hard drive replaced by a authoerized dealer/repair shop several months ago. We also have a HP C6150 printer/scanner/fax. We only use the printer and scanner. The system doesn't want to initialize the scanner. says scanner can't be found. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the printer software but the scanner still isn't being reconized. What can I do to correct this? Please help.

    So until now, the drivers installed on your computer is only the driver that was installed during plug and play?
    If so, and you're unable to install the software from the CD, try downloading it from the website.
    PSC 1315V Full Feature Driver/software download
    If you're still unable to install the full feature driver/software,then something on your pc is indeed blocking the hp installation to block.
    Try doing a selective startup:
    -Press START button.
    -Click RUN
    -Type inside the open box: msconfig (not case sensitive) then press the ok button.
    -On the system configuration window, go to STARTUP and temporarily disable everything by clicking on DISABLE ALL, press apply button but don't press ok yet. If in case it comes up with access denied, ignore it.
    -Still under syste configuration window, go to SERVICES and check the tiny box below that says HIDE ALL MICROSOFT SERVICES. You may now click on DISABLE ALL again. and then press ok. (You hide the microsoft services so that your computer will still boot up)
    -Restart the computer
    Now you should run the installation again whether from the CD or the downloaded drivers.

  • PSC 500 - Prints fine, but the scanner is not detected on the 64-bit version of Windows 7

    Last week I decided to update my computer to Windows 7 x64 since my computer crashed. (It was pure dumb luck that I backed up my computer the night before.) Anyway, soon after I was done, I tried to install my HP PSC 500 (C6680A) and I was happy that It worked, however I soon realized that it lost it's ability to scan. I am not talking about the scan button that according to HP no longer works; I am talking about actual ability to scan from the computer.
    Because my computer is telling me that I do not have a scanner connected and hp scanner drivers are missing from the list in the "Scanner and Camera Installation Wizard" and the printer is already installed, I believe I need a driver in order for my scanner to work.
    If someone could post a 64bit driver (*.inf) for xp or vista, I can try to see if it will work it will work. (I don't think a 32bit won't work, but I don't know for sure.)

    Sigh, I can't even make my HP PCS 500 print. I looked around for the deskjet 500 driver that HP says to use for Windows Vista 64-ultimate.
    There's a 450 440c and a 5100 but 500 went poof. If you'd interally email me the link or post here. 
    Go to the printers folder, Add Printer, Local printer, LPT1, then when the selection comes up click on "Windows Update".  This will load the updated list of available drivers.  Be patient, it can take a few minutes.  Once the list is updated you will find the HP PSC 500 listed under HP (not Hewlett-Packard) in the printers list.  You can then cancel the isntallation and just plug in the USB cable to have the plug-n-play automatically install.

    With most multi-function devices, you need to run the printer manufacturer's setup/configuring program first. That will either "Add" the printer directly, or make it discoverable in the "Add-a-Printer" window. Look around, you probably downloaded that program when you downloaded the Driver.

  • How do I configure my Airport Extreme to see the printer I have plugged into the USB port?

    How do I configure my Airport Extreme to see the printer I have plugged into the USB port?

    OK. The 6.0 version no longer has a printer configuration that I could find. You might try Printer Sharing in the Sharing preferences.
    I would also check the printer's user manual for help with the setup, and that failing check the manufacturer's website and/or tech support.

  • Barcode printing -Barcode is not being scanned by the scanner.

    Hi,
    I am working on a rtf XML template creation for Pick slip Report. I have field called delivery_id which should be printed as barcode. I
    followed the instructions as per documents: 411899.1 and 373001.1.I downlaoded
    a demo version of the barcode font.(IDAutomationSC128L).
    I added it to the template . and registered the font in XMl publisher and ran the whole process
    which generates the report output. The report gave me a output as per the
    template witha a barcode.But the barcode reader did not read it. the barcode
    reader(I am using the Intermec Oracle Ready CK30 Handheld Computer) that I have

    Is there any stpes that i am missing.
    Thanks,

    Hi Nisha
    If you are using a code 128 barcode font then you need to call an encoding class to transform the input, delivery_id from say '123456789' to an encoded string string, say '!wrwr34353'
    It looks like you are on the right track. Some thoughts:
    1. You say its a demo font - are there any limitations that IDAutomation has documented e.g. it will not handle certain characters in the barcode font?
    2. You should not really copy and paste from the documentation - that was an example class. IDAutomation, I know provides the java code algorithms to encode the data correctly for their fonts. That said the basic structure of the class is good to use you just need to plug IDAutomation's java code into it
    3. You get warnings, this should not prevent the .class file being generated.
    4. To test that the class is being called correctly. Change the font on your delivery field to a humanly readable font, say Arial. Now run the template against the data - you should see the encoded value for the delivery id in the output. If its the same as the data in the XML delivery_id element then your class is not being called correctly. this could be caused by:
    a. The class is not in the classpath for the publisher engine - from your directory path it looks like you are using EBS and you are putting it in the right place. Whats the field contents for the barcode vendor registration field?
    b. The class is not encoding the result correctly - to test this and c. you should add a 'main' method that you can call to test the class outside of EBS
    c. the class is erroring out somewhere - see above
    If you are getting a barcode on your output then the font is in the right place. Are you testing in Template Builder or on the server? If the hardware is not reading it then I would suggest you check 1 and 2 above and then carry out step 4 to check its being encoded.
    you might also check out this blof article on the encoding - http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2006/06/advanced_barcode_support.html
