Resolution

Steps to scan to OneDrive

Go to an MFD and follow the on-screen instructions to sign in. You will either tap your Bowdoin OneCard ID or you can enter your Bowdoin ID number of your Bowdoin username and password to sign in.
Once signed in, tap Scan from the printer's touch screen.
From the list of scan destinations, tap on OneDrive
Change the file name of the document you are going to scan, if desired, by tapping the Filename button. You can also edit the settings of the scan including 2-sided scanning, DPI, and more, if you would like, by tapping the Settings button. When ready, tap Scan.

Note: The default settings for scanning to OneDrive are to scan in Black and White at 300 DPI. These options can be changed by tapping on the Settings button.
Once the document has been scanned, you will be asked if you would like to scan more items or send the document. When ready, tap Send.
Once you tap Send, the document is sent off for processing and converting to an OCR PDF (if the document type was kept as the default PDF format). You will receive multiple notifications in your email about the status of the document.

First-Time OneDrive Setup

If this is the first time you've scanned to OneDrive, you will have to sign in and approve access for PaperCut.

In the email you receive, similar to the one below, click or tap on Login to OneDrive for Business.
When you click the button, you will be asked to sign in to Microsoft 365. Sign in with your Bowdoin username and password. Once done, you will be asked to approve access. Click or tap on Accept.
Once accepted, you will receive an email letting you know that you have successfully set up OneDrive for Business.
Your your scanned document(s) will be delivered to the following folder path in your OneDrive account: Apps/Scans for PaperCut MF/. You will also receive an email with a conformation, information about where you can find the document, and a direct link to the document for your convenience.
