Large Format Scanning

The department has a large format scanner that can scan up to A0 size and materials up to 20mm thick. This is a free service to all landscape students. The large format scanner is located in Paul Buck's office next to the computer room on floor 11. If you haven't used the scanner before please see Paul for a quick tutorial.

How to use the large format scanner

Please do not feed any sheets through that have staples, paperclips or anything else that may scratch the glass surface of the scanner

  1. Have your sheet ready to feed into the scanner by placing it face down, portrait orientated and line the sheet up with the arrow marker shown below. Then feed your sheet into the scanner until it grabs it. If you are scanning tracing paper, put a white sheet of paper behind it.
  2. Login to the computer to the right of the scanner and double-click the Smartworks Pro icon on the desktop.
  3. Choose the paper size of your scan and desired resolution (default resolution is 400dpi) from the left hand side bar of the Scanworks software.
  4. Press the green button to begin scanning your sheet. The Scanworks software saves your images automatically to a folder on the desktop called scans. Your scans are now ready to be transferred from this folder to your memory stick or a CD.
