ScanEZ (Bookscan) stations are available in the University Library, Deering Library, Math Library, and Mudd Library.

All stations include a touch-screen Windows PC and a flatbed scanner. Some stations also include a single-sheet scanner. Scanned output can be saved in a variety of ways, such as on a USB drive, sent as email attachments, or to cloud storage.

Frequent support issues with ScanEZ stations:
  • Moving Lock Engaged - the scanning arm on the flat bed scanner can be locked to prevent damage while moving the device. This lock is often inadvertently engaged by customers looking for the power switch. The switch for the moving lock is a yellow button on the lower left hand side of the scanner. It should always be in the DOWN position towards the bottom of the unit. When the lock is engaged the scanner makes a shrieking sound when it attempts to move the scan head. Besides being an unpleasant sound the scan arm can be damaged by attempting to move it when it is locked.
