     How to add documents for scanning

    1. Choose the type of scan you want to perform from the Scan tab, in the ribbon within the Mode group, select whether you are scanning Multiple Documents (imports each scanned sheet or selected file as an individual document) or a Single Document (treats all sheets or selected file as part of one document).

    2. Using a scanner, place any papers in the scanner feed tray and click New in the Scan group.If you are importing files that have already been scanned click New in the Scan group. From the Open window locate and select any files that you want to import.

      Note: the first time you click New Scan the Scanner Settings window appears for you to specify the default settings for the scanner. See Scanner Settings for further details on setting up the scanner.

    Scanning Documents using Scan Separators

    Separator Sheets

    If you have a combination of single sheet and multiple sheet documents to scan you can use separator sheets to indicate the start of a new multiple page document.

    Print Separator Sheets

    1. Click Print Separator(s) on the Scan section of the Task Bar.
    2. Select the number of copies that you want to print and click OK.

    Tip! use pastel coloured paper to print the separator sheets on. This will make it easier to locate and remove them for reuse after completion of a scanning job.

    Use Separator Sheets

    1. Sort the documents to be scanned separating single sheet documents and multi sheet documents.
    2. Insert a separator sheet behind the single sheet documents, followed by the first multi sheet document.
    3. Insert another separator sheet at the back followed by the next multi sheet document.  Repeat this as necessary.
    4. Put the papers in the scanner feed tray.
    5. Under  Scan on the Task Bar select Multiple Documents then click 'New Scan'.
    6. Thumbnails of the scanned documents will appear in the thumbnail pane next to the Task Bar.

    Importing Documents

    First use Scanner Settings to select the From File option. (The settings made here will be retained until you change them.)

    1. Choose the type of import you want to perform. Under  Scan on the Task Bar select whether you are bringing in Multiple Documents (adds each selected file as an individual document) or a Single Document (treats all selected file as part of one document).
    2. Click New Scan under Scan on the Task Bar. This will open a window to locate and select any files that you want to import.
    3. When you have selected the files you want to import click OK.
    4. Thumbnails of the scanned documents will appear in the thumbnail pane next to the Task Bar.
