- Select a quality scanner that is able to scan and save to a server deemed secure for confidential data, including social security numbers and banking data. Work with your IT department to determine the secure location.
- Scan the entire document in black and white or the lower file-size setting on your scanner.
- Review all pages in the scan for readability.
- For those pages that are not readable, typically pages with documents containing photographs, rescan individually in color or on your scanner's higher quality setting.
REMINDER: Documents with social security numbers and banking details should never be emailed.
