2. Basics
Make sure scanner is hooked up to the
computer you are using
Make sure the scanner is on (smaller,
white button if not)
3. Materials Preparation
Use only basic printing paper or smaller
For larger pieces use digital camera to
transfer files to U drive
Remove any staples from materials to scan
Flatten pages of any creases and crinkles
Have a “Portfolio” folder created in your u
drive (Only completed and scanned pieces
for the portfolio should go in here)
4. Multiple Pages
Be cautious when scanning multiple
pages
The scanner will register from last to
first, so your rubric (Appears first)
should then be at the bottom of the
scanning pile and will work forward to
the last page
5. Orientation I
Hold your sheet of
paper at the top, left
corner (where you
would normally place
the staple)
Note, this is not the
orientation to use while
scanning
6. Orientation II
Now, turn the sheet 180
degrees in either
direction (The staple
location should now be at
the bottom right corner)
You are now done with
the actual scanner
7. Orientation III
Keep in mind that if scanning is complete and
the orientation is incorrect certain computers
will allow for future alterations and
readjustments
Your computer will need to have either
ScanSnap or Adobe Acrobat (NOT Adobe
Reader) to make orientation changes
Refer to the ScanSnap for Dummies
PowerPoint for assistance
8. Saving I
After pressing
the green
“SCAN” button
a pop up
window will
show up
9. Saving II
Click “Scan2Folder” and a new menu will pop up
First, check to make sure you oriented your
scanned piece right side up
Second, under “Specify File Name”, title your
scanned piece according to whichever expectation
it will reside (Narrative Account, Group
Collaboration, Community Service, Etc.)
Next, under “Specify Destination Folder” choose
“Browse” and save to your Portfolio specific folder
Last, click “Save”
10. Great Success
You have now completed the portfolio
scanning tutorial and are now one step
further to graduating!!!
