This document provides instructions for scanning portfolio materials using a scanner connected to a computer. It describes how to prepare materials by removing staples and flattening pages. It explains that the scanner will automatically register multiple pages from front to back. It provides details on holding single pages or flipped stacks of multiple pages for scanning and how to review and rearrange scanned pages using the ScanSnap software. The document outlines how to delete unwanted pages, name files, and save scanned files to the appropriate portfolio folder.

1. Portfolio Scanning

2. Basics
 Make sure scanner is
hooked up to the
computer you are using
 Scanner should
immediately turn on
once opened (one flap
up and the other flips
down)

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 which pages have writing or
images on them for you
 If only a single page you can orient the page in any
way
 If using multiple pages, just flip the stack over.
 The scanner registers from the sheet touching the
scanner first and last is the furthest page out
 So your rubric (Appears first) should then be at the
top of the scanning pile (before flipping over) 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 the
orientation to use if
only scanning a single
page

6. Orientation II
 Now, if scanning more than a
single page, flip the stack
upside down (The staple
location should now be at the
bottom left corner)
 Note: Your rubric that was at
the top of your pile is now at
the bottom
 Press the big blue button

7. ScanSnap
 After scanning is completed a new program will
open, ScanSnap

8. ScanSnap Review
 Review the scanned product before saving
 You can open the scanned file by double clicking
the image in ScanSnap and then scroll through the
scanned pages

9. ScanSnap Order
 If the stack of papers was out of order, ScanSnap
allows modifications to be done
 On the left hand side click on the page to be moved
and drag it along the bar to where you want it
placed

10. Orientation III
 So, the pages are in order but some are upside down
 Click the rotating arrow at the top of the screen to turn the
page 90 degrees at a time until the paper is as you want it

11. ScanSnap Removal
 To remove an unwanted page that was scanned,
right click the unwanted page on the left hand side
 Click
“delete page”

12. Saving I
 At the top left corner, click the magnifying glass
 Now click “Save As”
 Remember to change your file name to the assignment type
(Reflective Essay) and to choose your portfolio folder for
saving

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