• Select ‘Scan’ from the buttons along the top of the screen.
• Enter your full university email address and password, then press ‘login’
• Books should be scanned using the glass flatbed - lift the lid and place the object to be scanned face down, aligning with the top left corner.
• Single or multiple sheets can be scanned using the top feeder, simply place them face up in the feeder.
• Use the buttons on the left to choose colour and resolution options.  Then press ‘scan to email’. 

• If your document is non-standard size you will be asked to set the size.  Click on the settings cog, paper size, and chose A4 portrait. 

• You can also change the scan to colour and double sided on this screen.  For double sided use ‘double sided – book’.
• Press the big green button to start scanning.  If you are scanning a page of a book at a time simply scan, turn the page, place face down again, and then press the big green button.  Do this until you have scanned as much as you need.    

• When done please press ‘next’ and then chose ‘new document’, or ‘log out’ as you need.
• The images will then be combined into a document and emailed to you.  The more you scanned the longer the file will take to come through.  They normally arrive within 10 minutes.
