GUIDED TOUR
The IRISPen is a sophisticated product equipped with many advanced fea-
tures for professional applications. Although it is impossible to explore every imag-
inable application, we will discuss in this chapter the major applications and add
many tips and hints concerning the use of the IRISPen.
Let’s have a look at the pen scanner first. What should you know about the
hardware and how do you use it?
HAVING A LOOK AT THE PEN SCANNER
The IRISPen is equipped with a roller which functions as start switch: when
you press the IRISPen onto a piece of paper, you turn it on, when you lift the pen
scanner away, the scanning ends. (The start switch only comes on if you hold the
IRISPen at the correct angle.)
As you scan data line by line, you should always be able to see what you are
scanning. The view window allows this. As soon as the start switch is activated,
a red beam from the view window lights up the area you’re scanning.
The scanning can also be accompanied by sound: an option activates your
computer’s speaker when you start and stop scanning and when you send the
recognized text to the output target. So, you will hear three system beeps for
each scan.
Whether you do so, depends on the "Sound" button on the toolbar (or the
option "Sound" under the "Options" menu).
