This page will cover how to scan handwritten documents for uploading to Gradescope.

Location: enter the Edge on the first floor from the breezway between Bostock and Perkins. Veer left as you come in and you will see a nook with two printers, a copies, a KIC scanning system, and, on the left, the scannx. Go to the scannx.
Operation:
- Touch the "Touch here to begin" button in the screen
- Select the destination you plan to use. This example will use Email. Note that the Smartphone and Google Drive options are currently not actually working.
- For scan settings:
  - Scan in: Either Color or Black & White -- whichever makes sense for the assignment.
  - Quality: High Quality
  - File format: Searchable PDF (this will do some character recognition)
  - Do not add a passcode
- Click Next
- Use the Document: One Side option (your work should only be on one side of the page) and click next.
- Put your document in the zerox DocuMate 5445 face down, top down.
- Push the green "SCAN" icon on the touchscreen.
- Check to make sure that all pages scanned; if all is good, click Next
- Transfer the document:
  - If using email, just put in your email address and perhaps a message to yourself, then click Next.
  - The other options are not currently working - this will be updated if they get fixed.
