Scanning[edit]

Scanning using these copiers is a free service provided by IGB. The scanners are located throughout the building next to the secretaries.

Retrieve Scanned Files[edit]

  • Scanned documents are automatically saved to the dropbox folder located in your home folder on the file-server.
  • Follow this guide if you don't know how to access the file-server File Server Access

Available Scanners[edit]

  • Xerox WorkCentre 5325: See your theme secretary, who will have you fill out a form.
  • HP LaserJet 700: Send an email to help@igb.illinois.edu to request that your netid be added to the LaserJet 700 for scanning. Include your netid and which particular LaserJet 700 you would like to access (3 North, 3 South, 2 North, 2 South, etc.)

Change Color/Black&White[edit]

The following screen will allow you to change the copier from black and white to color. This setting shouldn't need to be changed as it should be set to automatic by default. If, however, you want a color document scanned in black and white only, use this setting.
