We try to answer questions. We are not n educational centre. When you want to learn how to use a scanner, when you already bought one, it look to me like I buy a car and then I ask how to use it. I buy a Fiat 500 and want to start a delivery service for refrigerators. As soon as someone starts explaining how to use the fiat 500 I say, He how do I put a refrigerator or even better 20 refrigerators in the car?
Looks silly, but you don't but a scanner just for scanning. You must have a goal, what you want to scan.
I bought a scanner for my photo hobby and scan negatives, positives, slides and real photo's. And yes I sometimes scan an article from a magazine. But I can tell you for every different source you need different techniques. And with every scanner comes a manual (or you can download it from the net, explaining how you can scan the different media types.
Basically you put sometime on or in the scanner and start the program that came with the scanner.
But with most (cheaper) flatbed scanners you can put a slide or a photo negative on the scanner, but you can't get a picture, because it does not have a light source, needed to scan a negative or slide.
Then for every source you have different techniques to make a scan or to make a good quality scan.
After years of using scanners, I'm still learning how to improve my output.
Don't think I'm to lazy to explain how to scan, because, just put an image on the scanned and press the scan button. You will have a result. But again for every different source and foe every wanted result is a different setting needed, and it can't be explained in writing. I recently followed some Linda lectures about scanning. I think that would be the best way to go when you really want to do some good scanning.
To get an idea, google for lynda.com and scanning, or look here:
