The “Epson Perfection 4490 Photo Scanner” is hooked to a computer in the back row of computers in Jhn-‐366. This
scanner can be used to create a pdf file of a multipage document (manual feed). The scanner is an 8.5”x11” letter size
scanner capable of 4800 dpi color scans. But you should usually limit yourself to 600 dpi Black&White to keep the file
