How to Scan Pictures to a Computer Using the Canon MP160
The Canon MP160 is a multifunction printer, which means you can scan documents in addition to printing and copying them. "The all-in-one printer produces high-quality scans of up to 600 dpi," according to the Canon site. This means the MP160 creates a high-quality image of a photograph or other picture through the scanning process. You can scan an image to your computer using the Canon imaging software installed when you first set up and connected the printer to your computer.
