I didn’t receive my file by email. What do I do?

If you want to scan a large document, separate the scan into blocks of 20 to 25 pages. Indeed, a file that is too large cannot be sent by email.
If you still have this problem, please contact the reception. Under certain conditions, the cost of your unreceived scan can be reimbursed.

Change scan settings

It is possible to modify several scan settings by pressing ‘Paramètres’ (‘Settings’):

  • resolution: lower or higher
  • mode: colour/black-white/shades of grey
  • density: more or less contrast

Before scanning, press one of the settings to modify it. Then press ‘Terminé’ (‘Finished’) to start the scan with the new settings.

The scan is performed by default in PDF format. If you want a scan in another format, press ‘Détail de la tâche’ (‘Task details’), then, in the ‘Format sortie’ (‘Output format’) field, you can choose different formats: PDF/A, TIFF, JPEG.
