[OPLINLIST] Scanning for the Public

[Bob Neeper]

Jan 2008 we put a donated scanner on a DeepFreezed XP PC for Patron use.
The scanner buttons do not function.

Installed Picasa for the scanning s/w.

Instructions are:
Use the “Picasa2 Scanner” desktop icon to run Picasa.
Click “Import” then “Select Device” to begin.

It is not used very much but works.

The patron can email it via Hotmail, gmail, etc., save it to a USB stick, CD-rom etc.
We do not charge to scan and staff is available to help, if needed.

We also have other scanners in staff areas.
