Preparing to Scan

To batch scan in the FITC lab, the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) attached to the Fujitsu fi-5120C must be used.

1. Remove any documents from the ADF paper chute of the scanner.
2. Neatly stack the papers you wish to scan with the first page on top.
3. Insert the stack face down into the ADF paper chute.
4. Slide the stack further into the ADF until it will not go anymore.

Batch Scanning the Document

The program we are using to scan is called Adobe Acrobat .

1. Open Adobe Acrobat by clicking on the "Start" menu, then "Adobe," then "Adobe Acrobat."



2. Select File --> Create PDF --> From Scanner from the drop-down menu in Adobe Acrobat.
   
   
   
3. Select "FUJITSU fi-5120C " from the Scanner drop-down menu, then select "Front Sides" or "Both Sides" from the Scan drop-down menu.
   
   
   
   Then select the "Image Settings" button to adjust the quality. A new window will open.
   
   

   The PDF format allows us to pick the quality. The higher the quality, the easier it is to read. Higher quality also means a larger filesize. You must decide how your intended audience (or you) will use this file.

   NOTE: If you save at a higher quality, you can ALWAYS lower the quality later. You CANNOT go from a lower quality PDF to a higher one. It is recommended you save at the highest quality possible.
   
   Select OK, then select the "Scan" button.

4. A new window will open for with different scan settings. Confirm the Image Mode, Resolution, and Paper Size, then select the "Scan" button.

   

5. Fujitsu fi-5120C will now scan your documents. When a bundle is completed, a pop-up window will appear. Select "Next" to scan the next page, or "Done" if you are finished.

   
   
   After selecting the "Done" button, your scanned document will appear in Adobe Acrobat.

Finalizing and Saving

Your document is now ready to save in PDF format. Select "Save" from the Acrobat menu.




Enter the filename for your PDF document.

Congratulations! You have now batch scanned your multipage document into a PDF.
