Acreate: I don't think so... the printer i use do scan pictures even without Catridge in the printer

kunletiwoo: You can do a scan without ink, and scanner doesn't consume ink unless you print out what you scan.

Now this is how a scanner works: Scanners uses a light source,typically a cold cathode lamp to illuminate the scanned imaged. The light is then reflected off the object and into Charged Coupled Device(CCD). The Charged Coupled Device collects the information, and through a series of electronic devices converts the analog signal into a series of digital signals which can then be read and processed by the internal electronics of the scanner and subsequently a computer.
