User’s Manual 1. 1.1 Overview Introduction Scan printed photos, cards, documents, and other items quickly and easily using your Avision Personal Scanner! No computer is necessary to scan – just choose your resolution and then feed your item into the scanner to create a JPG image file. You can store the scanned images on the scanner’s built-in disk (automatic if no memory card is inserted), or you can insert a memory card for expanded storage capacity.
Note: 1. Only use the USB power adapter DSC-5CU-05 050100 by DVE/Li-ion Battery NP45 made by APACK/CA NP45 made by City Bright included in the product. Using other USB power adapters may damage the machine and void the warranty. 2. Please unpack the packing carefully, and check the contents against the checklist.

1.5 Scanner overview Name Description Color Mode All scans are in color mode. The scan resolution is measured in DPI (dots per inch). The higher the DPI, the more details on the original are captured by the scanner, producing a higher quality scanned image; however, a higher DPI also results in a larger image size and occupies more storage space.
User’s Manual button indicates the scanner status by The Power displaying either a solid or flashing color, depending on the action, as specified below. When the Power button is dark, the scanner has been powered off.
Storage Capacity Built-in: The scanner’s built-in disk has approximately 128MB of memory that can be used to store images. If a memory card is not inserted, scanned files will automatically be stored on the built-in disk until it is recognized as full (i.e., less than 2MB remaining for the 300 DPI setting, less than 5MB remaining for the 600 DPI setting, and less than 15MB remaining for the 1200 DPI setting).
User’s Manual Considerations for all scanning Inserting a memory card before scanning is recommended for large scanning projects so that you don’t have to stop at frequent intervals to move the scanned files from the built-in disk to a memory card or to a folder on your computer. Do not remove the memory card or disconnect the power supply while a scan is in process. Keep the original flat and level when feeding to prevent possible jamming.
