■ Get your photos scanned at your local camera shop. For a small fee, you
can have an entire roll of pictures put on a CD-ROM disk. Be sure to ask
your camera shop to also put a CD-viewing application on the disk with
your pictures.
■ Take a digital picture. A digital camera bypasses film entirely and makes
the picture into a computer file. Call a full-service copy shop or a camera
supply store about renting one.
What If
PICTURES TAKE
LONGER THAN YOU
EXPECT TO PRINT
Be patient. Because
of their complexity,
pictures, particularly
color photographs,
can take a long time
to print.
If you’re printing a
draft, you can speed
up printing by using

quality (directions
on page 10), though
the quality won’t be
the best. Or you
can turn off color
altogether and print
a fast, inexpensive
black draft.
P
ICTURES DON’T
LOOK AS CRISP
AS THE SCANNED
ORIGINAL
The picture might
have been scanned
at a higher number
of dots per inch (dpi)
than your printer can
print. To get the best
results, scan photo-
graphs at 150 or 300
dpi. If you scan them
at a higher dpi, you
won’t improve the print
quality, and the
pictures will take
longer to print.
