1. Using the IRIScan™ scanner

Before you begin: charge your scanner for 4 hours.

1. Turn on your computer.

2. Connect the scanner to your computer using the USB cable.

3. The orange light is on while charging.

4. When the scanner is fully charged the orange light goes out. Then disconnect

your scanner from the computer.

Preliminary note:

The IRIScan™ scanner is designed to be used on its own, disconnected from any computer. The

documents you scan are stored in the scanner’s internal memory (or oponal SD card / USB

ash drive). From there they can be loaded into Readiris™ and Cardiris™.

So, note that the IRIScan™ is not a Twain-based scanner that can be used from within any

applicaon to scan documents. Instead, think of it as a USB storage device that is able to scan

independently.

Scanning documents:

STEP 1: Press the power buon for a moment.

•

The green light blinks a few seconds then remains on.

•

The scanner is now ready.

Refrain from scanning documents while the green light is blinking!
