5. Scanning
In this section we explain the different scanning possibilities of the IRISPen
TM
.
Before you begin, make sure the IRISPen
TM
is plugged in in a USB port. If it is not
plugged in, a small cross is displayed on the IRISPen
TM
icon in the System Tray.
Important Scanning Tips
Bear in mind the following scanning tips that help improve the scanning quality:
•
Hold the pen upright to scan text. Do not scan in a 45 degree angle or less.
•
Make sure both sharp ends of the scanner tip always touch the page during
scanning.
•
Scan one line of text at a time. Make sure the line is approximately in the middle
of the two scanner tips.
•
Avoid scanning too slowly. Slide the IRISPen
TM
smoothly, in a fluid motion.
•
Avoid applying excessive pressure. Otherwise, the scanning may result in jerky,
uneven motions.
