Image Capture: Scan an image with Image Capture

Scan an image using Image Capture

If your scanner has an automatic document feeder, you can scan several pages at once. If you have a flatbed scanner, you can scan multiple images, straighten any that were placed crooked on the scan bed, and save each image to its own file.

  1. Open Image Capture.
  2. Connect your scanner to your computer, then turn on your scanner.
  3. Select your scanner in the Devices list.

    If you don’t see your scanner in the list, refer to the documentation that came with your scanner to see how to scan images.

  4. Choose how to scan your images:
    • If you have a scanner with an automatic document feeder, see this help topic:

    • If you have a flatbed or transparency scanner, see this help topic:
