Use method of joints to solve for member forces at one support joint as a check. Use method of sections to solve for forces in a joint near the centre of the span also as a check. If you can fit everything on a single page, please do so.
Scan. Check that all pages are right way up, numbered and with sharp contrast for reading. I use Paint.net (which is available free online) for cropping and adjusting brightness and contrast etc.
