How to scan records into Docuware1Document PreparationCheck documents for staples, paper clips, odd shaped pieces of paper, torn or ripped edges.Make sure to take out duplicates, such as duplicate fax pagesNotes no longer relevant to the file. For example: Parent will pick up by 3:pm? If there are notes that are relevant but they are written on something other than 8.5 x 11 paper you will need to copy them on the printer and then add them to the file. All pages to be scanned should be uniform 8.5 x 11Copying SCRS folders onlyFor SCRs please make sure to set printer at 75% to capture all sides of the folder on letter size paper. (From the printer select zoom 100%>manual scale setting adjust to 75%)

Place both front and back, outside cover, inside covers on the glass of the scanner and make a copy make sure all information is copied and readable.Remove sticky notes from the folder.Your file should look exactly like the student records look in Docuware now.

Example: When you scan the files into Docuware you want the front of the folder first and then in order how it would be viewed if the file was right in front of you. This way everyone knows exactly where to find the information they are seeking.

ScanningGo to the copier that you gave me to set up with Docuware.Place your file in the feeder.Colored folders do not have to be scanned front to back unless they contain information. Only areas with information need to be copied. Docuware will black out all of the colors so do not worry about that.Follow proceeding instructions to scan into Docuware.
