Testing a Scanner or Digital Camera
After you install a scanner or digital camera on your computer, it’s a good idea to test the hardware device to make sure it’s working properly. When you test a scanner or digital camera, Windows checks to see if the hardware device is communicating with the operating system.
Test a Scanner or Digital Camera
Click the Start button, click Control Panel, and then double-click the Scanners and Cameras icon in Classic view.
Right-click the scanner or camera you want to test, and then click Properties.
Click the General tab.
Click Test Scanner or Test Camera.
A message appears with the results of the test.
Click OK.
Click OK.
