You can abort scanning with the 

Stop Scan 

button 

on the display or with the 

Start / Stop 

button

 on the scanner.

Once scanning and taking the pictures are 

fi

nished, the scanner might make another full 

turn to capture inclination data. Please do not 

move the scanner while this data is being 

recorded.

Whe

n fi

nished, a preview picture of the captured 

scan will be displayed on the screen.

To view and process the scanned data with 

SCENE, remove the SD card from the scanner, 

insert it into your PC, start SCENE and transfer the 

scans to your local hard drive. Now, you can 

view and process the scans with SCENE. For more 

information on this, read the SCENE manual or

!

Please respect all necessary safety measures

and start the scan either by clicking on the 

Start

Scan button

 on the scanner display.

Scanning starts and the laser will be switched

on. The scanner will save the scanned data to

the SD card. The scanner’s LED will blink in red

as long as the laser of the scanner is switched

on. During scanning, the scanner rotates clock-

wise by 180°. If scanning with color, the scanner

continues to turn to 360° to take the images.

Remember that the scanner is turning and 

the mirror unit is rotating with high speed. 

Ensure that the scanner can move freely and 

that no objects o

r fi

mirror unit.
