4 Getting Started
The scan process starts, the laser of the scanner will be switched ON and the scanning view will be
displayed. The scanner's LEDs are blinking red as long as the laser of the scanner is switched ON.
During scanning, the scanner rotates clockwise by 180°. If you are scanning with color, the scanner
will continue to turn to 360° to take the pictures. The executed processing steps are displayed in the
status bar of the scanning screen, the scan progress is indicated by the progress bar.
To stop a scan touch the Stop Scan button in the scanning view or press the Start / Stop button on
the scanner. You will then be asked to keep or delete the incomplete scan.
Caution – After having completed scanning and capturing the pictures, depending on environmental conditions,
the scanner may make another full turn to capture inclination data. It is important NOT to move the scanner
while it is capturing the inclination data. Else, the inclination data of the scan may be inaccurate and may not be
usable for the scan registration.
As soon as the entire scanning process is complete, the scanner plays a notification sound (if not
turned off in the settings) and a new screen appears with a preview picture of the captured scan.
Now, you may move the scanner to the next scan position and start a new scan.
