Email your files directly to yourself or insert a flash drive to transfer the files. Be aware, however, that the greater the quantity of scans are, the longer an email will take for it to be sent from the scanner. Emailing files reduces the file size which also reduces the quality.
For better quality, use a flash drive.
For the best quality, use one of the Freedman Center Lab scanning workstations.
Note: If you are emailing your scans, "batch" your scanned files (1-20 images per PDF), and send them frequently to prevent slow send times. Sending by email may degrade the quality of the scans. Double check the files have arrived before leaving.
1. Once the Copyright Notice is accepted, the KIC will automatically scan based on the selected scan settings. On the computer monitor section of the scanning unit, the scan will projected. If those scanned settings are not to the user's liking, the image can be deleted and the settings changed, or some of these changes can be reversed in the "Modify Image (s)" tab.
2. Users may modify their scans in the next tab "Modify Image (s)." Brightness, Contrast, Resolution, Color Mode and cropping can be accomplished here. Any changes will project up onto the computer monitor.
3. Export your files to your email or to a flash drive. Default export file format is PDF, but users may change the file format to JPEG, PNG, or DOC. Files can be renamed on the right.
