Scanning Tutorial

There are two working scanners located in Sieg 329. Feel free to move whichever scanner you want to use to the computer you are working on. Before use, each scanner requires a different set of drivers to be installed.  There is a folder on the network containing the necessary drivers which can be 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.

Go ahead and install the specified drivers for the scanner you are using:

1. Canon Scanner: lide100win641403ej.exe
   
   
   
2. Epson Scanner: epson13534.exe
   

Once the drivers are installed, open up Photoshop by going  to Start → All Programs → Adobe Production Premium CS6 → Adobe Photoshop CS6.

Next, go to File → Import → WIA Support. If the scanner drivers have successfully installed, a window will pop up like the one below.  Make sure to change the destination folder to somewhere you can find the images later then click Start.

The installed scanner should pop up.  In this case it’s the Canon Scanner.

This should open another window called ScanGear. It will be the same for both scanners.

On the right click the "Preview" button and wait while the scanner runs. Once it is done it will let you adjust the crop borders on the image, so go ahead and change them as necessary for your image then hit "Scan". Once done it will open up the image in Photoshop.
