1. Portfolio Scanning

2. Basics
 Make sure scanner is hooked up to the
computer you are using
 Make sure the scanner is on (smaller,
white button if not)

3. Materials Preparation
 Use only basic printing paper or smaller
 For larger pieces use digital camera to
transfer files to U drive
 Remove any staples from materials to scan
 Flatten pages of any creases and crinkles
 Have a “Portfolio” folder created in your u
drive (Only completed and scanned pieces
for the portfolio should go in here)

4. Multiple Pages
 Be cautious when scanning multiple
pages
 The scanner will register from last to
first, so your rubric (Appears first)
should then be at the bottom of the
scanning pile and will work forward to
the last page

5. Orientation I
 Hold your sheet of
paper at the top, left
corner (where you
would normally place
the staple)
 Note, this is not the
orientation to use while
scanning

6. Orientation II
 Now, turn the sheet 180
degrees in either
direction (The staple
location should now be at
the bottom right corner)
 You are now done with
the actual scanner

7. Orientation III
 Keep in mind that if scanning is complete and
the orientation is incorrect certain computers
will allow for future alterations and
readjustments
 Your computer will need to have either
ScanSnap or Adobe Acrobat (NOT Adobe
Reader) to make orientation changes
 Refer to the ScanSnap for Dummies
PowerPoint for assistance

8. Saving I
 After pressing
the green
“SCAN” button
a pop up
window will
show up

9. Saving II
 Click “Scan2Folder” and a new menu will pop up
 First, check to make sure you oriented your
scanned piece right side up
 Second, under “Specify File Name”, title your
scanned piece according to whichever expectation
it will reside (Narrative Account, Group
Collaboration, Community Service, Etc.)
 Next, under “Specify Destination Folder” choose
“Browse” and save to your Portfolio specific folder
 Last, click “Save”

10. Great Success
 You have now completed the portfolio
scanning tutorial and are now one step
further to graduating!!!
