EZ Photo Scanner Instructions


I have placed a one-page, step-by-step instruction guide next to the EZ Photo Scanner to help users better understand some of its features and options.  Here are a few important points for staff to remember when helping customers:


When choosing TIFF, PDF, Searchable PDF, or Word as the file type:
  • All photo scans in the queue are saved together as one single, multi-image file


When choosing PNG or JPEG as the file type:
  • Each photo scan in the queue is saved as its own separate image file


In my experience, most users definitely prefer to have separate image files for each photo scanned, so I would typically recommend either PNG (a higher quality image, but a larger file size) or JPEG (a lower quality image, but a smaller file size) for scanning in most instances.


Other observations:

  • TIFFs and PNGs cannot be uploaded to DropBox or GoogleDrive due to large file size (user must save to USB).
  • JPEGs cannot be scanned in Black and White.
