    Depends on what program you are using to view the document. Windows photoviewer and Adobe Reader both have options to rotate documents by 90 degrees and 180.

    If you want it to scan right-side up try putting it into your scanner upside down.

    "Upside down scan?"

    "Every time I scan a document, it is upside down when I review it. How do I turn it right side up after it is scanned?"

    What kind of document or image format do you scan it to? These sometimes have rotation tools.

    "or how do I scan it so it isn t upside dow to begin with"

    Just rotate it "end for end" to your usual way, before scanning. May even be settings in your scanner for this, but I would not hold my breath for that.

    Turn the source doc 180 degrees or use the rotate feature found in almost all viewers now days. The scanner shows where and how to place the document. It has raised lettering and markings on the plastic to show the correct corner placement.

    To correct it, place the document the right way round when you place it on the bed of the scanner.
