Connecting the Scanner

Once the scanner and accessories have been unboxed, the first step is to

connect the scanner to your computer by following the connecting instructions in

the Set-up Manual or the following:

1. Plug the USB Type A connector end into the computer;

2. Plug the USB Type B connector end into the scanner;

3. Connect the power cable to the scanner and plug the power cable into

a surge protector;

4. Download the software from www.matterandform.net/download. Important:

Make sure to download the appropriate software for your computer;

5. Follow the setup wizard and complete the install process;

6. Open the scanner by gently depressing the release button on the top of the

scanner and swing it open, revealing the scanner head and the turntable.

Turn the handle 90° until it locks in place as the scanner leg.

7. Power the scanner on. To do so, push the MF logo on the lower front of the

scanner until it lights up;

8. Open the software. The software will search and detect the scanner. Once it

does, you’re ready to start!

Before you perform your first scan, you must calibrate your scanner. Go to

“Calibrating the Scanner” (p. 9) for step-by-step instructions and “The Importance

of Calibration” (p. 33) for more detail on how this process works.
