Datasheet

2 - 10
Hold the IRISPen like a pencil. When you press the pen scanner onto the
paper, you activate the start switch and the data you want to scan is illuminated
through the view window by a red light. The design of the IRISPen is such that
the start switch only comes on when you hold this device at the correct angle.
Rule the IRISPen over a text line of the I.R.I.S. test sheet at a steady rate. As
soon as you lift the IRISPen, the recognized, editable text appears in your text
editor or text application.
Left-handed users can adapt the scanning direction for optimal comfort. By
default, the pen scanner is operated from left to right, but when you enable the
option "Left-Handed Scanning" under the "Options" menu, you can slide the
IRISPen in a right-to-left direction.
This only works when you hold the pen scanner rotated by 180° so that the
pen button faces towards you, while the document itself retains its normal orien-
tation! The software “compensates” the scanning direction by rotating the image
by 180°.
(Alternatively, when you rotate the page and the pen scanner by 180°, you
can disable the option "Left-Handed Scanning" and still scan right-to-left.)
Try to maintain a straight line and constant speed during your scan. The more
regularly you scan, the better the recognition result will be.
