How to scan a slide or photo negative into a picture

* Before you start, make sure that the scanner is turned on.  If the light on the front of the scanner is lit (green), then the scanner is on.   If the scanner is not turned on then turn it by pressing the On / Off button on the front right corner of the scanner, then restart the computer.  For the scanner to work, the scanner must be on before the computer is on.

1. Logon on to the computer
2. Click the Start menu, then click programs, Microsoft Office tools, Microsoft Office Editor.
3. There is an attachment to the scanner itself, is a device called a lid light.  This is the device you will use to scan the slide or photo negatives
4. There are two ways to place the slide or negative on the lid light.  First, if you have a strip of slides or negatives, you can place the strip on the horizontal lighted are.  Or, if you have a single slide or photographic negative you can place it on the square lit area.
5. Once you have placed the slide or negative on the lid light, place the lid light, lit side down on the scanner.  When the lid light is fit perfectly straight on the scanner, it will lock in position.  It does not matter where you put the lid light on the scanner.
6. Now click on the scan icon on the toolbar.
