Scanning Services at CUIMC


The Pharos multi-function printers on campus can be used for self-service scanning. For bulk or advanced scanning please see Columbia Print Services.

Instructions

Scans are free to send to any email address as an attachment from a multi function printer (MFP). MFPs in the Hammer building do not require a log in; other locations may require an MC account login.

    • the feed tray on top of the printer, face up with the first page on the top
    • lift the top lid and place it face down against the glass, aligned to the rear left corner
