How to Prepare Paperwork for Scanning

Find out how many documents you can feed the scanner at one time.

Some scanners will allow multiple pages to be scanned, while others will only scan one page at a time.

Make batches to fit the scanner's limits.

 You want to get the most out of your scanner, the more you can scan at a time the better off you are.

Remove staples, paper clips, tape, or anything binding two or more sheets together. You want to make sure that each page is not attached to another page.

Now you want to look for folds in the pages. Remember, if a page is folded, whatever is under that fold will not be scanned. Make sure all parts of each page are completely visible.

Check to see that the scanner is turned on and installed properly.

Open the appropriate scanning software.

That's it. You are now ready to scan.
