Choose Image Capture→Preferences, click the General tab, and choose Image Capture from the “When a camera is connected, open” pop-up menu. To set up that arrangement, open Image Capture manually. You can simply double-click its icon in your Applications folder or you can set it up to open automatically whenever you connect a USB digital camera and turn it on. You can open Image Capture in either of two ways. Similarly, it can share a scanner with all the networked Macs in your office. Try scanning using the Image capture app. Restart the wireless router, the printer, and the MAC. On the printer screen, go to Setup > Network System preference > Advanced > Configure IPV6 > Automatic.

Image Capture can turn a compatible digital camera into a Webcam, broadcasting whatever it “sees” to anyone on your office network-or the whole Internet. Click here to know different methods of updating printer firmware.

Image Capture can download your sounds (like voice notes) from a digital still camera iPhoto can’t. Image Capture can grab images from Mac OS X–compatible scanners, too, not just digital cameras. iPhoto, by contrast, always downloads the entire contents of your camera’s memory card. Image Capture makes it easy to download only some pictures from your camera ( Figure 10-13).
