Here are some quick instructions to get you started with using Image Capture on your Mac: In other words, if you already have a scanner connected to your Mac, simply open Image Capture and see if it’s able to communicate with your scanner without doing any additional setup.
I typically prefer to use Image Capture instead of the scanning applications that come bundled with scanners. Image Capture is one of many free applications that comes bundled with every Mac computer.
Today’s tech tip focuses only on scanning. Image Capture can control hundreds of scanners made by Brother, Canon, Epson, HP and other manufacturers. Image Capture can both copy photos off of digital cameras and control a scanner to scan paper documents. You should consider using Apple’s easy-to-use Image Capture.
