Introduction
Our copiers conveniently allow you to scan documents directly to your Riverdale Google Drive! When you go to a copier and use the scanning functionality, there will be an option to Scan to Google Drive. After you finish scanning your document, it will upload directly to your Riverdale Google Drive into a folder called Scans for PaperCut MF. Your document will be automatically OCR'd (for text recognition and easy search) and be easily shareable via Google Drive, email, or even Schoology.

- Make sure Prompt for more pages is checked. This should be the default option!
- Use the document feeder (the tray on top of the copier) or the glass flatbed scanner to place your documents

- After the first page has been scanned, select one of the following:
- Scan next page - choose this option if your document is longer than just one page
