How To: Setup Apple iMessage to use all its features
The entire iMessage package is something that redefines the way Instant Messaging works. The fundamentals being simple – multi-device messaging which goes through via the internet instead of the mobile network.
For anyone who wants to save on SMS costs in the monthly billing, the data plan will pretty much take care of that. The iMessages feature has been around for a long time now, but we still get user feedback and queries enquiring about how get certain things set up.
Which is why, we have this guide that helps you get the most out of this interesting feature. And if you have multiple iOS devices, all the better.
Apple's streaming music service: Why iRadio is surely a go-ahead for WWDC
We have been hearing a lot about the possible launch of the streaming music service that Apple has been readying for quite some time now. Hence, all the excitement when the information trickled out little by little regarding major labels signing up for what was called an upcoming music streaming service. But, there really is more to that than just the excitement surrounding a new service.
It is pretty much a given that new versions of iOS and OS X are on the way. But, on the hardware side of things, it is still pretty much something akin to walking on a ground made of jelly! Whether we see the new iPhone or not is anyone’s guess. Whether we see an iPad update is also anyone’s guess. Whether the iPad Mini gets a Retina Update is also anyone’s guess. It is generally believed the MacBooks will get a processor update, Intel’s Haswell, but that is possibly more out of compulsion than anything else.
On the software side of things, we will surely be given a peek at the newer versions of the mobile and the desktop OSes, but it’ll still be some time before they actually get to reach your devices. Post Sir Jonny Ive taking charge, we have heard numerous reports about Apple CEO, Tim Cook, giving Sir Ive all the time he needs to set iOS right, exactly the way he wants it. The fact that the redesign is taking so long means two things – 1. There was a lot of housekeeping to do, before the process started, and 2. Sir Ive really wants to make his mark with the very first major build of iOS to be released after he took charge.
But, first things first, Apple may not really be able to call the service iRadio. That is because Vodafone already has a service by that name. (Check service here: www.iradio.ie/ishow/itest). We wonder how the copyright thing would work on that one.
Which is what makes the music streaming service the assured basket that Apple can attempt to keep some of its eggs in. We list three reasons why we believe the music streaming service is Apple’s best bet at a polished product this time around.
Google is doing it: Well, Google has already launched the All Access streaming service in the U.S., and worldwide roll-outs should not be far away. For the demographic of users that Apple wants to wean away from the likes of Pandora, it is critical to not let Google steal the lead. Even more critical – the All Access app for iOS is not too far away.
Not too many baskets to deal with: Sad to say, but it is a fact to a certain extent – Apple doesn’t have much else to show in the non-hardware area. Numerous delays with iOS 7 means it could be ready only for a peek at the most. The real deal, landing on your phones and iPads, could still be quite some distance away. Also, the Mac OSX 10.9 has witnessed an unusually high number of test builds, which means things are not going as smoothly as Apple would have hoped. Again, OSX could be showed off, with the real thing only arriving on Macs a few weeks down the line.
Developers need to feel loved: There have been murmurs of discontent from developers for quite some time now. First was the issue of in-app purchases, and who gets what cut from each sale. That was solved eventually, and Apple started iAds to support developers and their apps with in-app advertising. Now, with a streaming service, Apple can make another attempt to involve them in the entire process. For a service that is essentially targeting the complete demographic that use their iPhone, iPod or iPad for music, getting the developers involved would be a very good step. You could end up with apps that work with the service, apps that offer premium features and the in-app monetization that could help Apple’s service get a huge advantage over Google’s All Access and services like Pandora.
With WWDC just hours away, we wouldn’t have to wait too long for the suspense to be broken.
Apple seals the deal with Sony Music; big three now signed up for expected iRadio
Apple has signed a deal with Sony Music Entertainment, the major label that had remained a tough nut to crack all these months, for the much anticipated iRadio service. This is the third of the Big Three lablels, after Universal and Warner Music deals were sealed sometime back. Vivendi SA is also on board, for the music streaming service. Cracking the deal with Sony Music was turning out to be a very tough nut to crack, and is the last label to sign, after prolonged negotiations.
Bloomberg reports that Sony signed the agreement late last week. It is believed that Apple plans to announce the service, unofficially referred to asd iRadio, at the WWDC conference on June 10. This speculation is further fuelled by sources close to the entire process. Sony’s deal with Apple is believed to have been penned for a two-year introductory period and provides the label with 10 percent of all advertising revenue generated from its library.
“This is a wonderful recognition of songwriters and their contributions to hit records,” said Chief Executive Officer Marty Bandier said in an interview. “For so long they have received the short end of the stick.”
With the record labels signed up, it is believed that Apple will launch a music streaming service to compete with the likes of Pandora. This will be a free to use service, supported by advertisements. Apple believes that the integration with iTunes will help boost download numbers from the store.
It is believed that the “iRadio” service will be unveiled at WWDC. Honestly, Apple cannot afford to delay this service any further. Google recently launched its all All Access streaming service in the U.S. only, recently, and the iOS version is expected soon.
Apple inks deal with Warner Music; 'iRadio' launch possible at WWDC
It is being reported that Apple has reached a deal with Warner Music, for the oft rumored “iRadio” service. This makes Warner the second major label to sign up with Apple, with Universal being the first one. Apple is working overtime to get labels signed up before WWDC kicks off on June 10 in San Francisco, fueling speculation that the service could be launched at the event.
One thing that still needs to be ironed out is a deal with Sony Music. The two have not reached any agreement yet, and Sony Music is the third of the big three that Apple would want to see on board. Incidentally, Sony Music has a portfolio that includes artists like Justin Timberlake, Daft Punk, Taylor Swift and Lady GaGa.
Apple, it was believed, was in close negotiations with Universal and Warner back in April 2013, and the deal with Universal was finalized soon after. However, while the agreement with Universal only includes recorded music rights, the deal with Warner Music is also believed to include publishing rights.
It is believed that Apple’s radio service would be on the lines of Pandora’s offering, and will be a free to use service supported by advertising. The fact that Google launched its own music streaming service in the U.S. sometime back, would have brought the urgency back into the process, because any delay now would be a major embarrassment for Apple. On the other hand, major music labels would be treating Apple with utmost respect, because the iTunes’ download business, earned them an estimated $3.4bn last year.
Apple iPhone sales jump 400% in India
Equal monthly installments and cash back schemes have worked wonders for Apple in India as iPhone's monthly sales have risen by 300% to 400% over the last few months. The Cupertino-based company has managed to dramatically push up its sales by figuring out trends of consumer demand and changing the iPhone's perception from being a high-end product to an affordable one.
Compared to average monthly sales of 70,000-80,000 smartphones before the EMI schemes were offered to consumers in India iPhone sales have zoomed up to stratospheric levels, analysts at Credit Suisse said. "From our channel checks we believe that iPhone sales are nearing 400,000 units per month in India - that is nearly 3% share of handset sales for a single top-end product in a market that has long been dominated by low-end feature phones," Credit Suisse's research analyst Sunil Tirumalai said in a note to clients that was accessed by ET.
Apple does not reveal its sales figures for a particular market. The company did not comment on the sales figures quoted by the agency.
About four months ago, Apple began its EMI scheme that offered potential buyers to make a partial payment of iPhone 4 and 4S models upfront and pay the rest of the amount in installments over 6 to 12 months without paying any interest. The super aggressive pricing and advertising blitzkrieg on the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S older models that are not sold in any other country, created a strong foothold for iPhone as a product in India.
"The 4-9% implicit discount coupled with the option of easy EMIs spread over 6-12 months became popular. Within a few months, our discussions with handset retailers indicated that iPhone sales went up 3-4x, forcing companies to respond," Tirumalai added.
The Swiss brokerage firm and research agency said its estimates were based on checks with mobile store retailers across the country and from distributors mandated to sell Apple products. In September last year, Apple changed its retail strategy from partnering with telecom operators in India (Bharti Airtel and Aircel as its preferred partners), and brought on board Redington and Ingram Micro as official distributors for its handsets. IDC's Asia-Pacific Mobile Phone Tracker for October-December 2012 revealed that Apple increased its value share in the smartphone market rapidly to 15.6% from 3.9% in the previous quarter while its share in shipments rose to 4.7% from 1.3% in the same time.
Korean smartphone maker Samsung that led with 38.8% share in value and 33.2% share in volumes in the fourth quarter offered more number of models to consumers on EMI schemes. Galaxy Note II almost matched the EMI payment of iPhone 5 as it sold for 12 EMIs of Rs 2,999 each compared to a down payment of Rs 16,990 for the iPhone 5 followed by EMIs of Rs 2,376 for every month in a year.
By April, Apple pushed the pedal harder by offering an 18% cash discount on top of the earlier iPhone 4 offer, thus nearly taking away the down-payment. This resulted in an effective 23-27% discount on the product which made it an affordable option for new smartphone buyers rather than a premium product. This time, apart from Samsung that began selling its flagship S4 on monthly installments, other rivals like Nokia and BlackBerry also joined the race.
However, in the smartphone price wars, telecom operators ended up with most benefits as larger smartphone sales resulted in higher data usage and thus, higher data revenue. The number of data subscribers for Bharti rose to 43.4 million in the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2013 from 41.4 million in the three months ended December 2012. The country's largest mobile phone company's average revenue per user (Arpu), an indicator of profitability, rose by 16% in a quarter - from Rs 47 in December 2012 to Rs 55 in March 2013. Idea Cellular's blended data Arpu (2G and 3G) was Rs 55 for the three months ended March 2013, up by Rs 3 over the previous quarter. Data ARPU for 3G subscriber babase had risen to Rs 105 against from Rs 97 in the same period while each 3G subscriber was using an average of 608 MB Megabyte. The number of customers taking up 3G plans from Bharti Airtel has also risen by 23% in the same period, indicating rising demand for high-speed data services as more and more consumers shift to smartphones.

Apple seeks Android source code from Google: Report
In its patent war with Samsung, US technology titan Apple seems to have finally taken the fight to Google. The company founded by late visionary Steve Jobs has asked a US court to direct the world's biggest internet search company to handover the source code of its Android operating system.
According to a news report in Bloomberg Businessweek, Apple told the US court that Google is "improperly withholding" data that it requested in the pre-trial information sharing stage. Apple has sought this information in the second-patent infringement case it has filed at the San Jose court. As per the court filing, the iPhone maker has argued that Android is used in all of Samsung's allegedly infringing products and "provides much of the accused functionality."
The latest development in the war between Apple and Samsung comes in the lawsuit that includes patent violation charges on phones like iPhone 5 and Galaxy S III.
However, a lawyer for Google (but who also represents Samsung in the case) told the court that the Tim Cook-led company made this "strategic decision to keep Google off the complaint." He said that the internet search giant does not have the same legal rights as the Apple and Samsung in this case "with respect to reciprocal discovery," the report states.
Apple and Samsung are embroiled in a patent battles across various parts of the world. One of the biggest judgements in the matter came last year, when a US jury concluded that Samsung has violated Apple patents and awarded the latter $1.05 billion. However, this sum was slashed later to $450.5 million by the court and a new date to determine final damages in the case was set.
World‘s largest IT training centre opens in India
Offshore IT Training firm Koenig Solutions today unveiled its training campus in Delhi, which the firm claims is the world's largest offshore IT Training facility, providing end-to-end solutions to corporates. The campus, spread over an area of 18,000 sq ft, includes 70 classrooms and 30 testing stations and provides end-to-end solutions including accommodation, examination facilities, meals, daily transport etc, which are part of the course fee.
"We have a total of five centres in India -- Goa, Shimla, Dehradhun, Delhi and Bangalore -- as well as a training facility in Dubai. There are plans in place to expand it further in more such tourist centres," Koenig Solutions CEO and founder Rohit Aggarwal told PTI.
The company is looking at setting up training facilities in cities like Chennai and Pune in India and globally in West, South and East Africa, he added.
"IT training and certification today is a $20 billion industry worldwide and the education tourism market in India alone could become $1 billion by 2020. Koenig's education tourism business model is unique and aims to tap this growing market," Aggrawal said.
Offshore IT training is catching up among corporates, IT employees and students in countries of Europe, Africa, Middle East, South East Asia as well as in Australia and New Zealand, given the lack of cost optimised quality training resources and infrastructure, he added.
Koenig claims to have trained more than 20,000 students from over 50 countries since its inception in 1993, and has seen its trainer pool swell to 250.
The firm offers over 100 IT courses and is the authorised training partner of Microsoft, Cisco, Oracle, VMware, Novell, Adobe, EMC, Citrix, Linux Professional Institute, among others.
Download Viber Client For Windows Desktop
Up until a few hours back, Viber, the popular VoIP service app was available for Android, BlackBerry, iOS, Windows Phone, and other mobile operating systems only. The good news is that Viber users can now make calls from Windows and Mac desktop as well.
Yes, Viber today released desktop client for Windows and Mac operating systems. PC and Mac users can now head over to the download page to begin downloading the setup.
For those who don’t know what Viber is, it’s a cool service that offers free text, photo message, and video calling for free. With the help of desktop client, you no longer need to turn up to your smartphone to make a call or send text. The other cool thing is that you can also transfer calls between your PC and mobile with a click.
The best thing about Viber is that you don’t need to register an account with Viber to use this free service. Viber lets you make call and text by using your existing mobile number, which also means that you can’t use this service if you aren’t willing to share your contact with Viber for privacy reasons.
The other downside is that in order to activate Viber on your desktop, you must first install Viber app on your smartphone. Even though Viber supports all major mobile operating systems out there, including Android, Bada, BlackBerry, iOS, Windows Phone, and Symbian, if in case you’re using a mobile that doesn’t support installing apps, you can’t activate and use Viber.
Installing and setting up the Viber on Windows is fairly simple if you already have installed and activated Viber app on your mobile. Complete the below mentioned instructions to install and activate Viber on Windows desktop.
Step 1: Download and run the setup file to complete the installation and pin the Viber icon to the taskbar.

Step 4: Enter the activation code and click Enter Viber button to activate it and start using the Viber service.
Now, charge your mobile phone with water
Researchers in Sweden have developed a new technique where you can charge your devices anywhere without electricity, provided there is a water source nearby. Just add a spoonful and get instant power, anytime anywhere.Handy for anyone who spends time away from electricity, the small, lightweight PowerTrekk could power critical devices for warfighters and aid workers deployed to remote areas of the world, Fox News reported.
Developed by a team in Sweden's KTH Royal Institute of Technology and made by MyFC, it's the world's first water-activated charging device that powers using fresh or salt water, the developers claimed. It can extend battery life up to 3 watts.
So if you take an iPhone, the charge would be enough for between 25 and 100 per cent of its battery capacity. Any convenient water can be harvested for power, from a kitchen faucet through to a puddle in the jungle.
Solar charging can be affected by the weather and the position of the sun, of course, and not hugely helpful if your urgent power shortage hits at night. Water charging isn't hindered by these external factors. Even in a desert, a spoonful of water from your thermos can give you power.
The new device leverages the team's more than 15 years of research on micro fuel cell technology and small flat Proton Exchange Membrane fuel cells at the Department of Applied Electrochemistry at KTH.
To use the PowerTrekk charger, you fill-up water compartment with about one tablespoon, close the lid and connect it to the electronic device with a USB cable. It starts charging automatically as the water inside interacts with a small disposable metal disc causing hydrogen gas to be released.
When the gas combines with oxygen it converts chemical energy into electrical energy. While in many ways fuel cells are similar to batteries, they are different in that electrodes do not become consumed making them finite.
Instead provided water and air is provided to the electrodes, these fuel cells will run. Very green power, water vapor is the only by-product.
Currently, Powertrekk works with devices like cell and smartphones, digital cameras, iPods and GPS. The company is looking into developing their fuel cells to function for larger devices like laptops.
Apple rolls out iOS 6.1.4 update for iPhone 5
Oh dear, no one in rumor-land got the sniff of this one. Landing as a surprise, Apple has rolled out the iOS 6.1.4 update, which tweaks the audio profiles and enhances audio from the handsfree speaker on the device. This update is specifically for the iPhone 5. The change log released by Apple simply states “Updated audio profile for speakerphone”, and the update itself is around 11.5MB in size. While the update size isn’t too big, we would still advice updating this over Wi-Fi. If the update isn’t showing up on your device just yet, have patience, because the updates are always sent out in batches.
However, once the update rolled out, the people of the rumor world do suggest that this update will bring in minor security updates directed at a particular phone model. However, Apple has not said anything regarding any security or performance tweaks with this update, so we would assume this is more of a case of the rumor people smarting at the moment.
This could be one of the last updates that iOS 6 may get, considering the iOS 7 is being tipped for a preview at WWDC this summer, and a release well before the end of the calendar year. Sir Jonny Ive has been in charge of the development of iOS 7 and it is believed that radical UI changes in terms of visual appearance are in the works, with the focus on simplicity getting prime importance. A recent report suggested that while the development is running behind schedule, Apple’s bosses are giving Sir Ive all the time he needs to polish the OS. One of the things being suggested is the ‘flat’ design and the doing away with the skeuomorphic interface.
Angry Birds Friends starts rolling out to iOS and Android
Play with friends on mobile or Facebook and compete in weekly tournaments of Angry Birds Friends
Rovio has started rolling out its Angry Birds Friends to iOS and Android platforms. The social version of the popular Angry Birds franchise is available for free for users.
The weekly tournament, however, is slated to begin May 6, after that users can play with their friends on mobile or Facebook while the progress synced on both platforms.
"Download it today to get some practice in before it all begins. And be sure to invite your Facebook friends to take part in all the fun," Rovio said in a blog post.
Every Monday, users will get to play different tournament with new challenges. Users can also take help from power-up such as King Sling, Super Seeds and Birdquake, or get Wingman to boost on a level. Moreover, they can share their scores as well victors on Facebook and send out gifts to other competing players.
Players winning the tournament get a gold trophy, while the second and third players get silver and bronze trophies respectively.
In a related news, Rovio has updated its Angry Birds game for Windows Phone, adding 100 new levels. "The reason why we're re-releasing the game is that it will be technically easier for us to support in the future," Rovio said in a separate blog post.
The game is available for free until May 15 for Windows Phone 8 and Windows Phone 7.5.
Apple iPhone 5S launch date revealed
Rumour mills have for long speculating on the launch of the alleged iPhone 5S. Now, a news report also claims to have got the launch date of the much-awaited smartphone, the follow up to Apple's current flagship iPhone 5.
French website Nowhereelse.fr, which has a decent record of leaks surrounding Apple products, has released the image of an internal document of Japanese telecom operator KDDI. This document states that iPhone 5S will be announced on June 20 and hit the stores in July. The document also calls the device iPhone 5S, giving credence to speculation saying that the phone will not be named iPhone 6.
This internal document states that the device will get an upgraded 13MP camera, as compared to the 8MP unit used in its predecessor. The phone will run on iOS 7, it states.
Previously, a Chinese website leaked the first photos of iPhone 5S under production. KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, citing supply chain sources, said the upcoming smartphone will feature a 13MP camera, snappier processor, fingerprint recognition sensor and more powerful LED flash. Various analysts, including Kuo, Jeremy Horwitz of iLounge, Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster and Peter Misek of Jeffries, expect Apple to launch the device in the third quarter of 2013.
Jonathan Ive giving iOS 7 a major revamp
Jonathan Ive, six months into an expanded role as Apple's top product visionary, has embarked on a sweeping software overhaul that leaves the company at risk of falling behind on a new version of the operating system that runs iPhones and iPads, people with knowledge of the matter said. Already in charge of product design, Ive assumed oversight of the look and feel of software running all Apple electronics in a shakeup by chief executive officer Tim Cook last year that included the departure of software chief Scott Forstall. Ive, 46, has begun revamping iPhone and iPad applications, shunning realistic images, such as wood bookshelves for the Newsstand feature, and he's exploring more dramatic changes to the e-mail and calendar tools, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the plans are private.
Ive is also methodically reviewing new designs, seeking to avoid a repeat of last year's release of map tools that were widely panned, and he's encouraging collaboration between the software and hardware divisions, which operated in silos under co-founder Steve Jobs, people said. The introduction of new features, along with an emphasis on cooperation and deliberation, comes at a cost for Cupertino, California-based Apple. Engineers are racing to finish iOS 7, the next version of the mobile software, in time for a June preview at Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference. While the company still expects to release iOS 7 on time as soon as September, internal deadlines for submitting features for testing are being set later than past releases, people said.
'Tremendous pressure' Staff from Apple's Mac team have also been roped in to help the mobile-software group finish the job, people said. Apple has made similar moves in the past, including with the first version of iOS in 2007. "Apple is really under tremendous pressure to come out with something different and something new," said Greg Sterling, an analyst at Opus Research in San Francisco. Ive has "a tremendous sense of design, and he's been the guru behind a lot of these enormously successful products, but he's always had someone like a Jobs to push back on him and give him some guidance, and it's not clear that Tim Cook is capable of playing that role. Maybe without a collaborator, he's not as strong." Another possibility is that Apple's next upgrade isn't as robust or feature-rich as projected, and some changes come in future releases.
'Spiritual partner' Ive has a storied place in Apple's history. After Jobs returned as CEO in 1997, Ive's design of the iMac helped the company regain its footing after nearly falling into bankruptcy. Jobs told his biographer Walter Isaacson that Ive was his "spiritual partner" at Apple to whom he gave more operational power than anybody at the company. Ive is widely credited with working with Jobs to create the company's most famous products, including the iPod, iPhone and iPad. Even so, his specialty has been hardware, designing a product out of materials like aluminum and glass -- not software, which is based in code. He also has shunned the spotlight, rebuffing overtures to figure more prominently at product events. Seeing Ive around Apple's campus was akin to a celebrity sighting, according to a former manager. It's not clear that Ive will be as effective as Jobs in getting teams to finish projects on time. Cook elevated Ive in October, seeking to end clashes between Forstall and other senior managers that flared in the wake of the death of former CEO Jobs, people with knowledge of the matter said at the time.
Tim's 'challenge' The strife made it harder for teams to work together and threatened Apple's ability to keep producing the types of electronics that made it the most valuable company in the world. An operations expert who built Apple's vast supply chain, Cook opted to leave the minutiae of product design to Ive amid intensifying competition from Samsung Electronics and Google. "Tim is a supply-chain expert and he needs to rely on people like Jony to be able to make the right decisions," said David Yoffie, a professor at Harvard Business School in Boston. "That doesn't mean things run smoothly — because a challenge for Tim not being involved in the detailed product discussions is making sure that gridlock is avoided and decisions are made." The management shuffle in October tapped the brakes on work on the upgrade to iOS 7. New features typically submitted for testing around February ran a month or more behind schedule, according to one of the people with knowledge of the matter.
'Tidying' needed Software design involves the graphical style of images on the screen, as well as the deeper experience of how a user progresses through a given task, such as the steps needed for deleting an e-mail or entering a calendar item. Apple hasn't changed the look of many mobile-software programmes like e-mail since the iPhone was introduced in 2007. Social-networking features are limited, and applications don't always work well together, said Benedict Evans, an analyst at Enders Analysis in London. "There is a tidying up that needs to be done and a rethinking," he said. On top of that, Ive is moving the company away from layered and literal — or skeuomorphic — design elements, toward ones that are intended to give the software a flatter design that's more unified and less cluttered, according to people familiar with the changes. Bigger shifts, to such features as e-mail, may not even be ready this year and may be introduced in future releases, people said.

How to use Printer’s Scanner when it’s out of ink
I happen to have an HP Photo smart printer which has all the functionality like Scanning, Copying and Printing, etc. Now it ran out of Ink recently and I had no time to get it refilled. The best part was that all of a sudden I had a lot of document to be scanned and sent over email.
So I happily turned on my printer and waited for the Menu options to showup but it was stuck on Change your Ink Cartridge screen forever. I tried taking all of them out and thought it will pass through but nothing happened. So basically the scanner was brilliantly built so as to not allow anything work if the Printer was out of ink!!
Open this in any of the browser and it will take you to the Web Management page of the Printer. Look for an option which says WebScan. For me, it was listed under Applications.
Click on that and you will have the option to initiate the scanning process from the web interface. You have option to choose between image type (Black and White, Colour, Colour Drawing, text) and Document Size ( Letter, Executive, A4 etc).
If you have placed your printer away from your main desk, you will have hard time getting up and down to change the paper from the scanner bed. But at least this works and you can still use the printer without getting it refilled.

So the big question was, How do I scan the documents ?
Good thing about the Photo smart printer is it has a web interface. Even better, you don’t need to install a software to access the webpage but all you need is connect it to your local network and access it using the browser. In case you haven’t connected it to WIFI ever, connect it to your PC, manually over LAN Cable.Now follow the steps to access over WIFI :
- Go to Devices and Printer
- Look if your printer is listed. If now, add it and use the WIFI Option to connect.
- Once the printer is listed, Right Click > Properties > Web Service Tab and copy the URL which is under WebPage.
Open this in any of the browser and it will take you to the Web Management page of the Printer. Look for an option which says WebScan. For me, it was listed under Applications.
