3. This will open your camera (make sure you give the App access to your camera) and give your camera lens a little clean!

4. Make sure the mode at the bottom is on ‘Document’, the camera should show a blue outline (this may shift so get the camera into a straight position). This blue outline shows the camera detecting the outline of your document (to make this easier for the camera, try not to put the paper on a white background):

5After you have taken the picture, you can move the border of the scan area so that you can trim it to size. Make the outline correspond with the boundaries of the paper.
