PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Scanning Your Written Work
First, get your pages in the correct order and oriented properly
(no sideways or upside-downs pages.)
If you use a pencil, make sure it is dark enough to read.
Scan pages to a single file. Use scan settings PDF format and 200 dpi resolution.
Remember to use the setting allowing you to make a single file.
Take good, readable scans of all your entire document (all pages)
in the correct order.
If the scanner has the option to name your file, name using the format:
SmithJohn_Homework1
Email your scan to yourself or send it to another location you normally use.
If you have not already done so, name your file using the format:
SmithJohn_Homework1
