Scanning

Prep checklist:

• If the number of pages to be scanned is more than 50 pages, ask a staff member

• AFN: Scan barcode into "Fulfillment" > "Deliver Digital Documents" to ensure it can be delivered

• Tipasa: Check the request expiration date before scanning, ensure it is in the future

Scanner Settings & When To Use Them

Color modes:

• Greyscale use this when scanning text 

• Color use this when scanning colored images

Processing methods:

• [Flat Single Page] use this when scanning the pull slip (produces single image

• [Facing Pages] use this when scanning books with a spine (produces two images, one for each page).  Always hold the pages down using the yellow page holders as CZUR will automatically replace the line/dot pattern with blank space.  

• [Manual Selection] if CZUR is struggling to take a picture of the correct area, try this

Scanning a page:

• Scan button use the mouse to click the black button on the bottom right of the window

• Foot pedal there is a foot pedal under the desk, clicking this will start a scan

• Auto scan check the "auto scan" box.  Once you click the scan button, CZUR will initiate a scan every time movement stops.  As an example, flipping a page and holding still will start a scan.  Click the scan button again to stop auto scanning.  

File manipulation -- When on the main CZUR screen (not Scan) each scanned page is listed on the right with a name like: image00001.jpg.  The buttons that appear after clicking on an image will help you add, delete, and replace images.  

• Del deletes the selected image

• Rep scan a new page to replace the selected one (both pages of a [facing pages] scan will be replaced)

• Ins scan a new page that will be placed before the selected page

• Add scan a new page that will be placed after the selected page

Scanning

Always scan starting with the oldest requests first

1. Open "CZUR Scanner" application

   • If the file list on the right side of the screen is not empty, select all files and delete using the trashcan icon on the top right of the page

2. Flip the switch on the back left of the scanner

   • If the scanner lights turn on, it worked

3. Click "Scan" in the bottom right corner 

   • Scan the pull slip

   • Scan all required pages using the appropriate settings (see Scanner settings & when to use them above)

     1. • If CZUR makes a bad scan, it is usually easier to ignore it and keep scanning.  The bad scan can be fixed later using the Rep button

4. Use the back button to review your scans, making sure:

   • All of the requested pages are accounted for

   • No images are blurry

   • All images are cropped the same

   • No important text is cut off

5. If any changes need to be made, use Del, Rep, Ins, and Add to fix the problem

6. The button with a check on the top left of the file manipulation area will select all files

   • Select all files and click the Searchable PDF button under the Export section on the left

   • Make sure the language selected matches the language used in the book you're scanning & click Confirm

   • Scan the pull slip's barcode once the save dialogue box opens

7. Once the file has successfully saved, follow the directions below to deliver the request

   • CZUR often takes a while to save files.  If you don't see your scan right away, wait a few minutes and look for it again

8. Once the file has been delivered, select all files and delete using the trashcan icon on the top right of the page
