OW DOES IT WORK
?
The IRISPen functions as a camera that sends an image to the
computer. The image is recognized by the recognition routines. The
"read" data is inserted in the target application.
To scan the data with the IRISPen, you must simply
slide the pen
scanner over the line of text
or area.
Operate as follows:
•
Hold
the
IRISPen like a pencil
and place it a few millimeters
before the first characters or data to be recognized. The pen
scanner must be positioned so that the text line to be read is
right
in the center of the scanning head
, directly under the guide
line.
!
Yellow
is the IRISPen's invisible color. It cannot be picked up
by the scanner. Do not scan any data printed in yellow.

Warning
:
The pen scanning band is 0.41" (10.5mm.) high and covers in
many cases several lines of text. As the pen only picks the
"central" line within the scanning band, position the line to be
scanned properly.
