Part VII. Printing, Faxing, and Scanning
I've worked in the IT industry for 25 years, and have been hearing about the paperless office for almost all of that time. In reality, the truly paperless office doesn't exist. Sometimes, you just have to get a document onto paper, no two ways about it. Likewise, not everything can be downloaded or copied from disk. Sometimes, you can only get text or pictures from paper. Part VII covers both sides of the story.
Chapter 35 starts with the basics of installing and managing printers. If you already have a working printer, you can skip that one.
Chapter 36 moves onto the actual task of printing. Chapter 37 follows with a discussion of managing print jobs, which includes things like stopping a runaway printer before it wastes all your paper and ink!
When your only copy of a favorite photo is printed on paper, the only way to get it into the computer is by scanning it. Chapter 38 explains how to do that. It also covers faxing. Chapter 39 covers solutions to problems relating to printing, faxing, and scanning.
