To scan an image:

1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Print & Fax.
2. Double-click your scanner in the list at the left.
3. Click Scanner.
4. Choose how to scan your images

Do you know how to Bluetooth files?

To turn on Bluetooth:

1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Bluetooth.
2. Select the On checkbox. To allow other Bluetooth enabled devices to “discover” your computer and send files, also select the Discoverable checkbox.
3. Select “Show Bluetooth status in the menu bar” so you can quickly send files and perform other actions using the Bluetooth status menu in the menu bar.

To send files using Bluetooth:

1. Choose Send File from the Bluetooth status menu in the menu bar.
   If the Bluetooth menu isn’t visible, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Bluetooth, and select “Show Bluetooth status in the menu bar.”
2. In the window that appears, select the file you want to send, and then click Send.
3. Select the device you want to send the file to, and then click Send.
   If you don’t see the device you want to send the file to, make sure the device has Bluetooth turned on and is discoverable.
