Samsung SCX-4521F Laser Multifunction Machine Print/Copy/Fax/Scan

I had the same problem. My solution is: "Just go to settings on Canoscan Toolbox. Then go to copy button, drop down and select scan2. This comes "Copy" as default setting. Change it to scan2. Click ok. On Canoscan toolbox main interface click scan2 and bingo, you'll see film option on select source . Hope this works

I would like to know the following, please get back to me
* HP Printer model
* Operating System
* Is the HP Software installed..

as a work around you can perform the steps below to save a scan in the computer.

Try to scan using one of the two methods below:

1. Scanning from Microsoft Paint:

Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, and then click Paint.
Click File and then click From Scanner or Camera.
If this option is not available, Please let me know.
If more than one image source is connected, select the
HP all-in-one product and click Next. The scanning software will appear.
Preview the image by selecting Preview, or click "Scan" to scan the image directly into Paint.
The image will open in paint for editing and/or saving.

2. Using Windows Image Acquisition (WIA)

Verify that the all-in-one product power is turned on and the printer cable is properly connected.

Click Start.

Click Control panel.

Click Scanner and Camera Wizard.

Follow the Scanner and Camera Wizard instructions to scan images to the computer.

Make sure the USB cable is properly connected at both ends. Close the Canoscan software and then reopen it and try again.

Canon and other Scanners have both hardware and software buttons to scan documents and photographs.
Scanning with a computer is done with a destination in mind. So the buttons and the software are associated with destinations.
Typical destinations are File, email, Application, and print.
In a simple scan process for copy or print, the item is placed face down on the scanner, then the print button is pressed on the front of the scanner.
The software for the scanner pops up on the screen and the scanner moves the imaging light across the scanner under the glass, reading the item on the scanner. The software sends the image to the default printer and it prints a copy.

You will need to setup your preferences in the software so that a photograph is scanned properly and a newspaper article is scanned to come out clear black and white.
Documents are best saved as PDF files and photographs as TIFF files.
The software will have an expert mode where you can change all the settings and a beginner mode where you let the software decide.
Canon has a great document for your scanner. If it is not on the disk, here is the link. It is called CanoScan 4200F Scanning Guide. I think it will help you to use the scanner for any task.

Source is the Scanner... you must select it from a list....the program, is like Word, Adobe,etc, it wants to know what "Format" to save it in.

Assuming the Lexxy software drivers are properly installed you simply load up whatever software you want to scan into (paint shop, word etc...) and import from the scanner. Depending on the software you will use either the "import from..." or "acquire" menus items (look through the menus of the particular software you are using). You will get a submenu asking for the source. From this you select "scanner" or "twain". This will invoke your scanner software and from there you follow the prompts.

As a work around try installing Windows fax and scan and using that program to scan your items - I have multiple printers and it works great for me

Trash and re-install the drivers.
To uninstall the drivers:
- trash epson scan and epson scanner monitor from applications.
- go to library, then application support, then trash epson scanner module.
- go to library, then image capture, then trash twain data sources.
- go to the harddrive. Then to users, then click on the name of your computer. Then click on library, then preferences, then epson, then trash epson scan.
Then log on to epson.com and get the compatible driver for 10.5.6. Install it on your computer.
