Additional Scanning Tips
What you scan is what you get.
The DocuPen™ is sensitive to changes in direction and scan speed and records
every movement you make. The more uniform your scan swipe, the better your scanned image results. This may take a
little practice at first.
Your entire scan swipe motion must be sooth and uniform. Scanning too quickly or abruptly changing acceleration causes
the

LED
to flash, reminding you to reduce your scanning speed.
Scanning Too Fast
It should take approximately 4 seconds to scan an 8.5”x11” document in standard mode.
It should take approximately 8 seconds to scan an 8.5”x11” document in fine. (high
resolution) mode.
All scanned images are in black and white and are stored in the pen’s memory bank for
easy download at any time later.
Scanning Lengths
Typical scans include documents in standard or legal format that may be up to 8.5” wide.
Also in standard resolution mode (100 dpi), documents up to 36 inches long can be scanned.
In fine resolution mode (200 dpi), documents up to 18 inches long can be scanned.
If you stop during a scan just momentarily the unit will stop scanning. It is therefore important to scan in a continuous smooth
motion.
