IF THE LAPTOP YOU HAVE BROUGHT IS A DIFFERENT OPPERATING SYSTEM THEN INSTALL THE SOFTWARE THAT IS RELEVANT TO YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM. (IE XP, VISTA ,WINDOWS 7)

Hi Scanning is a same process as compared with other scanners, Instruction:- 1. Keep the page in the printer scan area 2. Select the scan option.
If you want more clarification visit the printer manual link below http://www.dell.com/us/en/highered/peripherals/print_810/pd.aspx?refid=print_810&cs=RC956904&s=hied
Thank you.

If Dell did not offer any programs with their scanner then you can download a scanning program that handles PDF files.
You can even use Adobe to import directly into PDF files although it is not the best for scanning

scanning is a bit of a trick. You have to have hardware to scan with, and SOFTWARE to receive images. Make sure the scanners imaging software suite has been installed, OR, you can use the scanner manager in windows to scan with. Just select the dell 810 as the "scanner source" and click "scan". that should do it.

My 810 acted up suddenly and just stopped working. It had been ok with a new computer which is now 2 years old. I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer driver. That solved my problems.

u just check the connection r they all rightly and tightly connected.
U can try unstalling the scanner and reinstalling it again.Inform me the result

Uninstall and reinstall the software. Normally the software installed on the computer controls the scanner functions for the all in one dell stuff. Check dells site also for any updates that might correct this issue.
