How to Scan Documents in a Printer

Before scanning documents with a printer, ensure the device is properly connected to a power source and linked to your computer or mobile through cable or Wi-Fi. Place the printer on a stable surface and check that the scanning bed is clean to avoid marks on digital copies. Keep documents flat and free from folds for clear results. Install the required drivers or applications to manage scanned files easily. Prepare enough storage space on your device to save and organise scanned documents efficiently.
