Do you have a pile of business cards you’ve collected just sitting around on your desk? Do you have FOTHROW (Fear of Throwing Them Out)? Keeping those business cards handy can be great when you remember you need that one card from that one person, but rifling through your collection, trying to locate the one you need can be futile.

The good news is, there’s a better way! If you have a Sharp Copier with Card Shot, you can use it to copy both sides of a card onto a single page, and even scan them into your computer to store them digitally. In this article we will walk you through the steps of making a Card Shot Copy on your Sharp Copier, the steps will be similar for scanning.
