highlighter. It connects to your computer's
USB port
and does not
require any external power supply. The IRISPen is equipped with a
scanning head
and a line guide, a roller, and two programmable
buttons.
The

captured.
The
roller
enables to easily roll the pen onto the paper and acts as a
start switch.

When you press the IRISPen onto a piece of paper, you turn it on,
and when you lift the IRISPen away, the scanning ends. A green
beam lights up the text area as you scan it.
