Scanning Tutorial

There are two scanners located in Sieg 329. Feel free to move whichever to the computer you are working on. To use them you will first need to install the drivers found here:

O:\unix\projects\instr\production1\scanner_drivers
- Note: To quickly access this folder, open up the Start Menu, paste the above path into the search field, and hit enter.

If it's the hybrid printer/scanner install DJ1050_J410_Basic_x64_231.exe, if it's the smaller more portable scanner installlide100win641403ej.exe. Note that once the drivers are installed you'll have to re-plug in the scanner (and restart Photoshop if it's already open).

After the drivers have finished installing, go to Start → All Programs → Adobe Master Collection CS3 → Adobe Photoshop CS3.

Once Photoshop is open, go to either File → Import → WIA-HP Deskjet 1050 J410 series (the hybrid printer/scanner) or File → Import → CanoScan LiDE 200... (the smaller scanner). This should open another window called ScanGear. There's an option to preview and crop your scan, but we'll be taking care of this later. Put your sketch in the scanner and hit "Scan". Once it's finished it will give you a pop-up box asking if you want to scan more images. If you have any other sketches to scan, then with "Scan other images" selected click Ok. Otherwise you can close out of the dialog.

Now that your image[s] are in Photoshop, you can touch up and save them.
