  • click OK
  • the system shows the list of the scanners connected to your computer, so you can choose one and click Select
  • now your scanner's driver starts and the image is loaded in the LogicalDOC window
  • you can rotate it and, if you appended more scans, you can scroll through the images with the appropriate arrows buttons.
  • if the scanning is correct, click on the upload button(green arrow) to send the document into the system
