Place a document or image to be scanned on your scanner.

Make sure your scanner is connected to tour iMac and turned on.

Open Preview.

From the File menu, select Import from Scanner, and from the popup menu select your scanner.

Preview will show an overview of the document or image you placed on the glass in your scanner.

Set the resolution you want, such as 72 for the web or email, or 300 for print.

In the Name field, you may name the scan.

Adjust the marquis to outline the area you want to scan.

Click the Scan button.
