Scanner not working or don't know how to use it? I'll get it connected, install software if needed, and show you exactly how to scan documents. Patient help for tech that should be simple but isn't.
### Scanner Frustration
You've got a scanner (or printer with scanner). Someone told you to scan a document and email it. You've **absolutely no idea how**.
Or it used to work but now doesn't. Or you got a new computer and can't get it working. Or you're just stuck and feel daft asking.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Scanners are brilliantly simple once someone shows you. But nobody does - they assume you'll just figure it out.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Lots of documents to scan?** I can help set you up with a system - batch scanning, auto-naming files, organized folders. Makes big scanning jobs much faster. **All-in-one printer?** These often have scanning functions people never use because they seem complicated. I'll show you - usually it's two buttons press and done. **Need regular scanning help?** Some people have me come monthly to help scan paperwork, photos, or documents they've accumulated. Can be easier than struggling alone.
Frequently Asked Questions about Scanner help in Honiton
What if my scanner used to work but stopped?
Usually the software's disconnected or the USB cable's loose. Takes minutes to fix once I can see what's happening. Could also be a Windows update that messed up the drivers - I'll sort it either way.
Do you work with all scanner brands?
Yes - HP, Epson, Canon, Brother, whatever you've got. All-in-one printer-scanners or standalone scanners, makes no difference. They all work the same basic way once you know the software.
Can you show me how to scan to email?
Absolutely. I'll set it up so you scan the document, it appears on your computer, and you can attach it to an email. Or if your scanner has email functions built in, I'll show you that. Whichever's easiest for you.
I need to scan lots of old photos - will you show me how?
Yes, and I'll show you how to save them in folders that make sense, rename files so you know what's what, and adjust settings for best quality. You'll be set up to work through them yourself.
What if the scanner software isn't installed?
I'll download and install it from the manufacturer's website. That's usually why scanners stop working after a new computer - the software wasn't reinstalled. I'll get you set up properly.
