no model number told of scanner
no PC told if using a PC,
no OS told if windows 10? say so.

no cable connections told sure USB right, or wired ethernet? or fireware
click on what , no told.

the
VuPoint Solutions Magic Wand Portable Scanner (PDS ST415 WM)


this thing?

all scanners made scan and send the files to the PC, the software for it scans as saves them on the PC, where you told it.
some software ,

my guess you see those photos there w10
and is in my documents photo or near.
and you have no permissions to change them.
well login to w10 as admin, and delete them.
or change sharing rules as you see fit there.

no PC told or is it a PC at all
nor what model PC
nor what OS it run. w10 or MAC
some software there fails on mac, but not simple scans./
or is this a SD card question only
the scanner must be on to see the SD card on the PC,
or ask them,
tell them the model they can't guess either.

new models work with
Works with Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7,

Windows 8, Windows 10, Mac OS 10.5 and above

in all cases read the manual first.

First look at the settings within the scanner and see if you can save it directly to the program of your choice. You may have to browse to find an appropriate program. Saving documents and pictures directly to your desktop helps to find it more easily. When you find the photo or document you have scanned, Right Click, Open With, and select a program like Windows Photo Viewer or Windows Photo Gallery. In that same window, check the option near the bottom that says Always Open With

Scan the document and save it.
Lift the lid on your scanner lay the photo face down then select scan document/photo it will ask what format you want to scan it then it will ask where you want to save it browse select the file/folder where you want to save it (my pictures) most common
you can send an attachment to a company by an email
Open up your new email type in the adress then you should see attachment depending on which email you are using select attachment then you will open up a browse window navigate to your
document / attachment select it you might have to wait a few seconds for it to load as an attachment then click send.

Just to be sure, did you install the driver in addition to downloading it? Full software or basic driver. The software must be installed before connecting the data cable. What OS are you using? (if you have Vista 64-bit, it is not compatible) If you didn't install the software, uninstall the OS driver and disconnect the data cable before attempting to install the Canon software. Otherwise see the notes for scanning with other software.

First are you trying to use the scanner buttons? These will only work if the full software is installed. For the buttons to work, you have to set up the scanner button destinations in the Canon software first. Also a monitoring program must be running for the button presses to work.

So try scanning from the computer first. If you still get an error, try a new data cable. If you are using a USB hub, try a direct connection. Make sure your USB ports work with a known working device. You can also check if the ports are disabled for security (in the Device Manager for Windows) or power savings (an advanced setting from the Screen Saver).

Once you have scanned successfully from the computer, go to the Settings section of the Toolbox to set the default destinations for the scan buttons.

If you only installed the basic driver, you can scan with Paint (XP or Vista), File > Import from Camera or Scanner > New Scan. Vista also has Windows Fax and Scan (New Scan) and Photo Gallery to acquire scans. I don't know the Mac software. Third-party software will also work if installed.

I hope this helps.

First thing you should do is after you have connected the scanner to your computer, go to Finder, navigate to Applications and then double-click on the "Image Capture" icon. Press the "Scan" button on your scanner. The Image Capture application will recognize the connected scanner and will display a preview of the picture. Select any special options you want for the scanned picture and click "Scan" in the lower-right corner of the preview window. A scanned image of the picture will now be saved to the "Pictures" section of your user folder. I am advising you to try this as your MAC OS might recognize the scanner without the drivers.

If that doesn't work, try the drivers from Agfa website for SnapScan E20. Website doesn't specify for which MAC OS version they are. In addition, here's a link to th manual.

Hi. To make sure that the product hardware is functioning correctly, use the product to make a photocopy. If you cannot make a copy, this solution will not help resolve the issue.

Solution 1:
Follow these steps to restart the product and the computer. NOTE: Make sure that the product connects directly to an electrical outlet and not through a surge protector or power strip.

1. Shut down the computer.
2. Press the Power button to turn off the product.
3. Wait 10 seconds.
4. Restart the computer.
5. Press the Power button to turn the product back on.
6. Try the scan again

Solution 2

1. Replace the USB cable.
2 .Try the scan again.

Solution 3
Fully uninstall and resintall the software and driver of Kodak printer

Workaround:

Try installing the printer to Windows XP environment just to prove functionality and test incompatibility issues. Might be your printer is icompatible with MAC OS. This will also prove if printer is working or not.

1. Connect a compatible scanner to your computer. A list of compatible scanners is available in technical document 107203 "Mac OS X 10.2: Scanners Compatible With Image Capture "

2. Install any necessary software drivers that came with the scanner.

Note: Not all scanners require the installation of additional software drivers.

3. Turn on the scanner.

4. Press the scan button on the scanner. See the documentation that came with the scanner for specific instructions. Image Capture opens automatically and a preview scan appears.

5. Select the area of the image you want to scan.




Figure 1 Preview image with area to be scanned selected

6. Click Options in the toolbar to adjust settings specific to your scanner.




Figure 2 Options icon

7. Adjust any settings in the drawer that appears.

8. Click Scan.

The scanned image is saved in your Pictures folder in your home directory and opened in Preview.

Note: These are the default options. They can be changed in the Image Capture toolbar.

All you need to do is go into Navigator and select photo/document, this will take you to a screen where you can select photo/document etc. Then select resolution (the higher the dpi the better the quality, but slows down scanning). Follow the instructions. When scan is complete a small picture will appear, and a dialogue box asking if you wish to scan again, if you do put a new document on the cover and press scan. If it doesn't look right ignore the picture and rescan. When done exit at the dialogue box. The small pictures can be selected and edited or turned around using the icons. You can save one image at a time just by selecting the image and not the others. If you want to make a PDF, then select the images in the order you want the pages to appear in and save as a PDF.

well you have to do the scan and then save it so when the file is going to be save thats when it will ask you where you wants to save it or do a scan and name it than save it and than just do a search from start search and put the name that will tell you the exact location for your scan files nut must to the time that one goes by defaul to my documents
