USER'S GUIDE
To obtain an optimal image, slide the pen smoothly and evenly over the paper.
Do not lift the IRISPen away from the paper, as this ends your scan. These are
not unrealistic conditions. Acquire some experience with your IRISPen and all
will come naturally; you can use the I.R.I.S. test sheets to get some training.
Once you have developed the necessary “sleight of hand”, the agility of the
IRISPen is such that you can scan text from books, bottles etc., very much like
you use a bar code reader. This kind of flexibility cannot be obtained with a
sheetfed or flatbed scanner!
As soon as you have to scan text from physical, non flat objects, the IRISPen
offers a unique solution. The IRISPen as a “3D” OCR product, you might say...
Or you could call the IRISPen the first true handy scanner!
