Hi All, It might look like this question is dumb but this seems to be a tricky question to answer.
Suppose say you have a printer which can also be used as a scanner (ie., printer and scanner as a combo in one box). We all know that when we print pages from the printer, it consumes certain ink from the cartridge used in the printer. Now, if we use the printer for a scanner (since this can be used as both) will a scanned page consume any ink from the printer cartridge? I will also appreciate if you could answer how the scanning part works in such a case above. Thank you all in advance and i very much appreciate all of your answers.. |

Scanning to your PC screen does not use ink, if you then print your scan, so effectively a copy, that will use ink.

It is basically just a separate scanner and printer joined together.
They work exactly like separates do, except you can directly print from the scanner if you so desire.

No scanning part will not consume any ink ( as you must be knowing when you witch on that time some ink is consumed). Scanning part works like ordinary scanner.. Printer part works like normal printer. In some cases when the ink finishes the unit is not ready and can not be used as scanner.

no bec the ink will be used if u printed only not if u scanned and bec u said "when we print pages from the printer, it consumes certain ink from the cartridge used in the printer"
so no there won't be ink used in scanning cause you are only scanning not copying!! |

If you choose to scan to a file/folder, it will not use ink. If you choose to scan to print, it will use ink. By the way, the only dumb question is the one you don't ask.
