Using Department HP Color Scanner to scan documents

You can make use of the HP Color Scanner on the third floor of SR-1, to scan documents; this makes it easy to do volume scanning in color. Perform the following steps to first scan the documents

On the LCD Panel select the “Folder” Icon.
Select “Geosc Scanner” on the LCD (towards the left).
Now you have to select the output settings and the input settings, if you are happy with the following output settings,

200 DPI
Color Scan output
Output as PDF

Then proceed to the next step (for most folks this is optimal) or else, select “Folder Settings” first to change either the input settings or output settings, “Describe original” lets you change the orientation, size of the page, number of sides etc, and “folder settings” lets you change the output type (B/W or color), enhance sharpness, change the output file type, file size etc.

Select “Filename” and give it a name using the keyboard on the LCD and then press “ok”
Place the pages to be scanned either on the flat glass bed or the feeder (If you have multiple pages), make sure you put the correct orientation.
Press “Start”
The scanning process starts and completes, after which the data is sent to the remote folder indicated by the blinking “Data” light on the left side of the LCD Panel. It is best to wait till it stops before you leave or start another scan job.
The scanned data can be accessed at the \\geoscdom\scanner folder, look for your file name (usual location as the sharp scanner/copier). For office staff this folder is already available as a network drive, and for student’s, logon to one of the computers in the lab and type in
\\geoscdom\scanner in the address section of an explorer window to pull up the scanner folder.
Remember to delete the file from the folder after you copy it to your preferred location.
