Step1
Connect your multi-function printer and computer. Power them up.
Step2
Select the side of the document you are going to scan. Give the document a once-over, checking for any flaws that you do not want transferred into electronic form.
Step3
Open the printer’s lid. Place the side of the document you want scanned face-down on the glass plate of your multi-function printer’s scanning bed. Align the document to your satisfaction.
Step4
Close the printer’s lid carefully. You may want to weigh the document down with another sheet of paper to prevent it from shifting.
Step5
Choose an appropriate scan resolution. You may have to do this using the controls of your printer or on the computer, depending on the model and software.
Step6
Press the scan button to start the process. This can be done on the printer itself or on the computer.
Step7
Preview the scan on your computer monitor. You should be able to make minor changes to the scanned image if needed.
Step8
Save the scanned image if you are satisfied with the result. Try again if you are not satisfied.
