How do I scan a document?

You can scan to your university email or OneDrive (as a PDF or JPEG) from any of the printers in the Library. 

All scanned documents default to PDF files, but this can be changed to suit your requirements. 

JPEG images are a good option if you need to email a photograph, single page form or certificate to someone, or insert an image into a Microsoft Word Document. You can change scan settings to a JPEG image if required.

Please note: the price per scan is 1p, so please top up before scanning.

  1. Scan your campus card on a printer or sign in with your university c-number and password to begin.
