Free Photocopying Software

Thought some of you might be interested in this free photocopier program I discovered the other day. It's called Photocopier (original, I know), and it's from Nico Cuppen Software. You can download it via Nico's site, or via the shareware site Tucows.com.

Photocopier is designed for anyone who has a printer and a scanner connected to their PC, and wants a quick and easy way to use them to copy printed documents. Most scanners come with software that will do this, but often it is complicated and time-consuming to use. In my own case, when I upgraded to a new PC I wasn't able to use the software supplied with my scanner when I bought it (a few years ago), as it wasn't compatible with my new computer.

Photocopier is quick and easy to download. Once it's installed on your PC you start it in the normal way and a control panel pops up on your screen. This looks like the controls of a real photocopier, so you can change the number of copies, adjust the brightness, and so on. When you're happy with the settings, click on Start. The software automatically detects your scanner and printer, and produces a good quality photocopy in seconds.

I've looked for similar software in the past but never found anything that works as efficiently as this little program. I should add that there are no strings or hidden costs, and the program doesn't install any sneaky spyware or adware (as happened with a similar "free" program I downloaded a while ago). I don't get any fee for recommending it. I just happen to think it's a very nice piece of free software if, like me, you require a tool such as this.
