Working with the Scanner and Camera Installation Wizard

The Scanner and Camera Installation Wizard is primarily designed to install drivers for older scanners and cameras—and some networked scanners—that aren't automatically recognized by Windows.

Before using the wizard, connect your scanner or camera and turn it on. If Windows recognizes the device and installs the appropriate driver, you're all set. There's no need to run the wizard.

 To start the Scanner and Camera Installation Wizard

1. Click to open Scanners and Cameras.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
2. If you don't see your device listed, make sure it's turned on and connected to your computer. Then click Refresh.
3. If your scanner or camera still doesn't appear, click Add Device to launch the wizard.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

   Note

   • The wizard will prompt you to select your scanner or camera from a list. If your scanner or camera isn't listed, you'll need to obtain drivers for it, either from the manufacturer's website or the installation disc that came with the device. Click Have Disk when asked to choose your scanner or camera.
