Chapter I. Installing the Scanner

Before installing your scanner, please verify that you have all of the proper components. A list of the package contents is provided in the Box Contents section of this guide.

Software Installation Requirements

Your scanner comes with the OCR software (ABBYY FineReader Sprint), the scanner’s driver and the DocAction software. All of these software applications use approximately 400 megabytes of hard disk space after they are installed into your computer. To ensure ample room for the installation, as well as for scanning and saving images, a minimum of 1 GB of hard disk space is recommended.

The USB scanner can only operate under the Microsoft Windows XP / Vista / 7 / 8 / 10 operating system.

Hardware Requirements

This scanner connects to your computer through the Universal Serial Bus (USB), which supports hot Plug and Play. To determine whether your computer is USB- capable, you must check the rear of your PC to locate a USB jack that looks the same as the one pictured below.

Installing Additional Software

Your scanner is TWAIN compliant and functions with virtually all available TWAIN compatible software. If you purchase additional software to be used with your scanner, please make sure that it conforms to the TWAIN standard.

Chapter II. Usage and Maintenance

Operating the Scanner

• Your scanner needs to be driven by some type of software program. Since all documents or images (whether text or pictures) that are acquired from the scanner are treated by your computer as images, most scanning will probably be done from an image-editing program where you can view, edit, save and output the scanned images. An image-editing program has been bundled with your scanner on the included Setup/Application CD-ROM. It will allow you to alter and correct any scanned images by using a variety of filters, tools and effects.
• What about scanning text documents and editing them in a word processor? This is the role of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software. OCR software converts the image files that are created from scanning text documents into text files that can be viewed, edited and saved by word processors. An OCR program has also been bundled on the included Setup/Application CD-ROM, and if you wish to use the scanner in this way you should install the OCR software that is included.
• The DocAction program, seamlessly integrating the operation of your scanner with your computer and other peripherals, provides a quick and convenient way to perform various scanning functions. With DocAction, you don’t need to adjust settings every time you scan. Simply press any button on the scanner’s front panel or click any scanning menu item of DocAction on the screen. The scanner starts to scan your paper documents and transfer them to your assigned destination. The destination can be a printer, your e-mail program, files on your disk drives, an image-editing program, etc.
• Please refer to the online help of each program to guide you through any question you may have while scanning within that program.

Preparation

• Open the document cover and place your document on the scanner glass. Align the document with the mark on the scanner.
• Gently close the document cover.

Scan the Image(s)

There are 3 different ways to operate the scanner:

1. By acquiring images from the scanner through our TWAIN interface within any TWAIN-compliant application programs.
2. By scanning from the scan button on the scanner.
3. By scanning images within DocAction software.

The TWAIN interface and DocAction software are automatically installed to your system along with the scanner driver.

Before you start scanning, check the following:

Attention

• The power of both your computer and scanner is turned on.
• The icon appears on the Windows system tray.
• The paper is appropriately placed on the scanner flatbed glass.

Scanning via TWAIN Interface

The TWAIN program is a very important piece of software that comes with your scanner. This program acts as an interface between the scanner hardware and the image-editing software you are using to view and edit images. The TWAIN program allows you to adjust a number of settings to define the quality of the scanned image.

Scanning from the Scanner’s Panel or On-screen DocAction’s Execute Menu

• The settings for each button on the scanner’s panel are configured through DocAction. DocAction offers you quick access to the most frequently-used scanning functions. They are especially useful when you need to repeatedly scan with the same settings and send images to the same destination.
• Buttons on the scanner panel will be used in this guide to demonstrate the scanner operations. You may also use DocAction’s on-screen Execute menu to perform the same scanning tasks.

Configure Button Settings

Before performing your first scan via scanner buttons, you are recommended to configure the button settings to your needs and preferences first. There are two ways to configure or view the button settings of DocAction:

• Double-click the icon in the Windows system tray.
• Right-click the icon in the Windows system tray, and then choose

Button Configuration in the pop-up menu that opens.

Within the “Button Configuration” window, you can find a row of icons running through the left side of the window. Each icon corresponds to a button on your scanner’s panel (as well as DocAction’s on-screen Execute menu). Clicking any icon on the left pane and its current button settings are displayed immediately on the right pane. You may adjust the settings as desired.
Click the Help button within the Button Configuration window for more information about the settings.

Scan from the Buttons

Scanning documents or images from this scanner is very easy. Follow the two steps described below:

1. Place the document or images onto the scanner. (Refer to ”Preparation” of this guide for more information in placing paper on the flatbed glass properly.)
   Attention
   Place only text documents for OCR purposes. Do not scan a photo using the OCR button.

2. Do one of the following to start scanning:

   • Press the button from the scanner’s panel.
   • Right-click the icon in the Windows system tray, and then choose Execute in the pop-up menu that opens. Click the desired button function item in the pop-up menu.

The scanner starts to scan immediately and carry out the corresponding action according to the settings you have set up in the Button Configuration window.

Scanner Connection

The first step to take when troubleshooting connection problems with your scanner is to check all physical connections. The icon , located on the Windows system tray, indicates if the scanner software is properly launched and the scanner and computer are communicating with each other.

| The scanner is not connected with the computer.

No Display

| You have chosen to terminate the program, no matter the scanner is connected or disconnected with the computer.

Calibrating the Scanner

Calibrate the scanner if colors appear in areas that should be white, or colors of the
scanned image and the original vary a lot. This allows you to adjust and compensate
for variations that can occur in the optical component over time by its nature.

The following describes how to calibrate the scanner:

1. Click Start > All Programs > Your scanner model name > Calibration Wizard. (For Windows 8.1 users: Point your mouse cursor to the upper or lower right corner of your screen to open the Charm bar. Click on the Start charm, then click on the downwards arrow button in the lower left corner of the screen. The Apps screen will be shown. Move your cursor to the right edge of the screen to scroll right until you find Your scanner model name, and then click on Calibration Wizard.)
2. Click Next from the Calibration Wizard that pops up.
3. Click Calibrate Now….
4. After the calibration is complete, click OK and then click Finish.

Usage & Maintenance Tips

Attention To keep your scanner working smoothly, take a moment to review the following usage & maintenance tips.
