Option 1 Option 2
Once you have enabled scanning in the Setup Wizard and the driver has been installed, the APM software will display options for customers to select the scanning option when placing an order. There are two ways to scan images into the APM software.
- Select the Prints from Scans button on the Product Selection screen, and then choose from the available fulfillment options, as described in Chapter 2.
- Select the Scan photos button on the Load Media screen, and then choose from the available fulfillment options, as described in Chapter 2.
Once one of these options has been selected, this will bring up the Size Selection screen. On this screen, choose the size closest to the actual image size, not the size you wish to order.
**Note: If the photo is between sizes, select the larger size.
When the next screen appears, place the photo onto the scanner bed, or if you’re using a stack scanner, place the photos at the top of the scanner and use the guide to align the photos. Follow the on-screen instructions for further details.

**Note: Make sure not to load more than twenty photos at a time in the stack scanner. Also make sure to flip all four edges of the stack, so they do not stick together as they pass through the scanner, as this can cause a jam.
When ready, press the Scan button.

If you are using a standard flatbed scanner, then the Image Preview screen will appear next to adjust the scan zone, as needed. If you are using a stack scanner, this screen is bypassed.

- If the image is not aligned properly, reset the image on the plate of the scanner and then press the Rescan button.
- Once the image is ready for adjustments, use the red arrow buttons to set the scan zone.
- The crop lines can also be moved by using the touch screen.
- When satisfied with the scanned image, press the Done button. You will have the option to add more scanned photos on the next screen.
- If there are more images to scan (default maximum is 15), press the Scan More button on the next screen.
- When finished, press the Done Scanning button.
The scanned image(s) is/are available for use. The software will take you immediately to the print workflow, as stated in the previous chapter, to order prints of the images you have scanned.
**Note: If you wish to use scanned images for creative or Folio products, then you must use the Scan photos button on the Load Media screen prior to accessing the Product Selection screen.
