Tag: Scanners

As noted in Harry Gee’s email earlier this week, the scanners on the 2nd floor now require users to sign in first with a Baruch username  and password (or a guest username and password). Behind the monitor for each scanner is a small desktop computer with a power button (in case you need to turn a machine on).

Once you log in to a machine, you first see the Windows desktop and then a few moments later, the scanning software comes up (the same software as before). Once you’re done scanning, you can:

• email a PDF of the scan job
• send the scan to the color or the black-and-white printers
• save the file to a USB flash drive
• save the file to your Google Drive, Drobox, or OneDrive account

Scanners in the 6th floor computing lab are flatbed scanners and are designed to scan individual sheets or photographs. They are not designed for bound volumes/books. Unfortunately, six scanners had to be replaced due to “book abuse”. BCTC staff will explain to students that the scanners are for flat items only. If students ask for scanners, please advise them of this before sending them to the 6th floor lab.
