Microform Scanners

Due to mounting frustration with the microform machines on the 2nd floor, I met with Danny from ICS to see what we could do about the software problems we have been having. As a result, we will be removing the Paperport software (which came bundled with the machines). Clients will now scan using the much simpler Microsoft Office Document Scanning. This will cut the number of steps needed to scan a document in half. The new software is on all machines now, though the Paperport still has to be removed from two. I have created new signage with step by step instructions, but would be more than happy to give a demonstration to anyone who would like one. From now on, the default location for saving scanned images is C:\Scans, though obviously one can direct the file to go to a USB key or a networked drive.



If anyone has any questions, just let me know.
