Scan Documents

Modified on: Thu, Jan 18, 2024 4:20 PM

The large printers around campus can scan documents. By default, the logged in user will receive the scanned document by email. 


After logging in to the printer, choose Scan from the main menu. 


Scanning from the Platen Glass

This scanner is useful for scanning a textbook page. If scanning multiple pages, use the feeder at the top of the printer instead for a faster, easier experience.

Place the first sheet of paper being scanned face-down on the scanning bed. Set it flat against both the top and left edges of the platen glass. On the touchscreen, check that the fields are all correct. These settings include the destination email address, color options, multiple sides, paper size, and resolution. When ready, select one of the Start buttons.

Note: PaperCut sends you scanned documents to your email. Individual scan jobs are limited by the email attachment size of 13 MB. If you exceed this limit, we recommend you split the scan into multiple jobs. It's also possible to save your scanned document to a USB drive.
