Scanning drawings

ummmm....wat if i wanna post a picture I drew, can someone scan them for me? What does a scanner look like any way?

Sorry, I don't have a scanner currently, I think it's broken.

I can tell you what it looks like though. It's this machine thingy that looks like a box. There's a flat thin lid over the box. You open the lid and there's glass stuff on the underside of the lid and on the box. You put the picture on the glass of the box with the pic facing down and close the lid.
Then you press a button and cool flashy lights come and sweep the pic like lasers. It's SO COOL watching it scan! I've actually opened the lid when scanning before when I was a kid just to see what the light thingy looked like. I sorta blinded myself.

Anyway, when it's done scanning, the pic should show up on your computer if you have the right programs and you can edit it and stuff and then load it up to the net.

And sorry again, I think my old scanner broke, you're going to have to try ask someone else.

i mentioned it before but anyone can hand their pic to me during the club if they want it scanned. i still have a pile of pics to scan. i'll post up all of them as a group during winter break.

rofl. it's probably is a scanner then...unless it's fax? hmm. just test it out. lol, shouldn't it tell you what your printer contains on the box? my printer is a 4 in 1 (print, copy, fax, and scan) xP

Lucky you! Bleh, I dunno. Ive never been good with electronics. Seriously.

It's the 21st century people, not the 18th....time to understand the use of electronics without having to read the instruction manual.
