HOW TO SCAN USING

CAMSCANNER

1. Download the CamScanner App to your smartphone or tablet (which must have a
camera, by the way!)

2. Open the App and press the camera button

Position your page in front of your phone/tablet camera on a flat, well-lit surface and take a
photo. You can choose “single” if you only have one page to scan, or choose “batch” if you
have a number of pages.

3. CamScanner will then allow you to adjust the borders of your page. Please don’t cut
off any important information! And by the same token – we don’t need to see your
desk (or your hand!) in the scan – just the page 😊.
4. Next, you will be able to choose the lighting effect for your scan. Make sure you
choose the one that makes it the easiest for your teachers to read! Afterwards, tap
the blue tick button.

5. Now, make sure that you are saving your document as an A4-size (you will probably
only need to check this setting once – CamScanner will save your preferences). Tap on
the Settings gear.
6. Make sure that your page size is set to A4, and then tap “Done”.

7. That’s it! The scanning is done! But wait – let’s also see how to save this scan to your
Google Drive: tap on the “share” button.
8. Since all Online School documents must always be saved as a PDF, make sure you
select “Share PDF”.

9. On the next screen that pops up, tap the “Share” button.
10. The app will then ask you where you want to save this PDF to – choose your Google
Drive. Just make sure that you keep your Drive organised into folders and sub-folders,
and that you move or place this PDF into the correct folder!

There – now you’re done! Happy scanning!
