Scanning a document to upload to computer

Created by Michael Cacciuttolo, Modified on Tue, 4 Apr, 2023 at 1:53 PM by Michael Cacciuttolo

To scan a document to your pc, the most reliable way is to click the windows start icon:

then once the start menu opens, just start typing the word "scan". You don't need to click any input or anything. By simply typing with the start menu open, the pc will find the app you need.

Once you have typed the word "scan", click the "windows fax and scan" search result

In the top left of the new window will be a "new scan" button. You'll want to make sure your paper is important-side-down on the glass of the scanner. Then click the "new scan" button.



Once you've clicked "new scan" a pop up will appear. Click "scan" at the bottom of that pop up.


Once you have successfully scanned the document, you can locate it in the "Documents/Scanned Documents" directory on your pc. Click the manilla folder-looking thing on the task tray, click "Documents" on the left hand quick access area, then navigate to the "Scanned Documents" folder and your images will be there ready to upload wherever you need them.
