STEP 7: SCAN (button) --> Paper size=USER DEFINED –> Input dimensions36x48
Click the “Scan” button to open up the scan option menu. Change the “Paper Size” to “User Defined” and input the maximum document dimensions . Don’t use automatic detectionallowed by the scanner: 36" W x 48" L. If your document is smaller than this, you can crop it down in Photoshop during postprocessing.
STEP 8: Adjust settings and SCAN
IMPORTANT: Choosing any setting other than 'High' under Quality when scanning at photo quality will result in random artifacts appearing in your scan.
Recommendation: If unsure which setting to choose, select Photo Full Color (even if your drawing is black and white). This setting consistently results in high-quality scans. We also recommend setting DPI to 300.
Optional: Choosing 'Maps and Drawings' is a handy preset for architectural linework.
Change additional settings to match your document (i.e. orientation, resolution, output, etc). The DPI setting will affect detail and quality, but a DPI over 300 will result in grainier scans. Press “Scan” to start scanning. If you get the warning “Scanner is not ready. Continue?”, press the “FORWARD” button on the scanner and then press “Yes” button on the screen to start scanning.
Troubleshooting: If you get a warning saying "Scanner could not be found," go back and repeat step 3.
STEP 9: Save
Save your document. Open your document to ensure it scanned properly. Some smudging is normal, but if you notice significant streaking and smudging, notify desk staff.
