To scan a document visit a Multi Function Device and load your original document(s) into the top feeder (please remove all staples or paperclips first) face up or use the flatbed area to arrange your document and follow the steps below:

1. Log into the printer by scanning your ID card or by typing in your login details

2. When you log in click on ‘Scan‘ to move into the scanning screen

3. Select ‘UW OneDrive‘ as the destination

4. The filename screen will then display, you can click on ‘Settings‘ to adjust how the scan will be performed, or click ‘Scan‘ to proceed.

5. In the Scanning options page, you can change many options for your scan for example changing the file type so the scan is saved as a PDF, TIFF or JPG.

If you need help with any of the available options, please contact us via the IT Service Desk.
