We have 2 different scanner available to the users

• Epson color 1640
• Brother MFC-9840CDW

This is located in the Lab IN.R.011, and is usable by everyone, without limitations. To access this scanner the user has to start a scan tool as Kooka, Xsane or Gimp (all programs are accessible from the Desktop menu Applications) and can scan documents using the graphical interfaces of these programs.
The use of this scanner is indicated when the user needs to scan pages from a book or some photos, but the operations are extremely slow in case of scan of a large number of pages.

The Second scanner is located in IN.R.133 and is usable only when the office is open (staff can access it 24h). This scanner is an automatic device that can simplify the work of scanning a large number of pages. Using this device, the user generate a pdf file that is sent by email at the address the user specifies. The scanner has an auto feed mechanism, so the pages must be separate and without staple points. The maximum number of pages the scanner can process for a single document is around 100. The actual maximum will depend on the weight of the paper. Instruction on how to use the device for obtaining the pdf file are attached to the wall behind the device.
