How do I scan something?
You can use the Scan app to scan pictures or documents to a variety of file formats (such as JPG and PNG). To
open the Scan app:

Need help? In the Scan app, open the Settings charm and then choose Help.
Connect to a TV, monitor, or projector
You can connect your Surface Pro to a TV to watch movies on a big screen, a projector to share a presentation, or
another monitor so you can work with multiple apps.
Stream pictures, video, and music
Depending on what you already have set up, you might be ready to stream. For example, if you have an
Xbox 360 on a home network, you might be ready to stream. In other cases, you might need to set up or change
your network and connect compatible devices.
For more info about this, see Stream pictures, video, and music to devices using Play on Windows.com.
