Firstly, log into any college MFD by scanning your ID badge, then select the 'Scan' option on the screen.
This will take you to a screen where you can choose your scanning location: either your college Google Drive account or email address.
NOTE - Scanning to Google Drive means your file is ready to share and upload to Classroom quicker, it also allows you to create scanned documents with larger file sizes.
If it's a simple document, you're ready to hit 'Start Scanning'.
Otherwise, on the screen you can see, you can change the file name or location of where it will save as well as review the settings of the scan. If you want to make any changes to the name or location use the options on the screen to set these.
If you want to change the settings, tap the Settings button. You'll then be presented with the screen below, here you can set the scan to single or double-sided; paper size; orientation; quality; colour and type of file.
NOTE - PDF's can be quite large in size if there are many pages so it may take some time to process, it can take up to 30 minutes for it to appear.
When you're happy, tap 'Start Scanning'.
When you're finished, make sure to remember to tap 'Logout' at the top right.
NOTE - The first time you try to scan to Google Drive or Email, you'll get an email asking you to authorise PaperCut to perform the actions. You'll need to approve this before your first scan will be available. You won't have to do this again though.
