Introduction
Product Summary
- The CZUR scanner is a new type of intelligent scanner whose man features are its extremely high scanning speed, its ability to recognize and correct for curved, incorrectly positioned, or soiled pages, and its ability to quickly and easily convert scanned pages to more useful formats (PDF, searchable PDF, TIFF, or text documents.)
- The scanner can, (using built-in algorithms) automatically handle pages otherwise difficult or very time-consuming to scan. For example, it can automatically flatten the curved pages of open books (using laser lines), erase fingerprints, automatically split double pages into two single pages, and correct incorrectly positioned pages. The scanner allows large books to be scanned and archived very quickly.
- It’s a completely new approach to scanning and can save hours of time on either simple or complex tasks of document digitizing, archiving, and sharing. It is unlike any scanner in its price range.

Operation Guidelines
Scanning Preparation
- Place the scanner on a surface (table, desk, or counter) large enough to hold the pages you plan to scan or display.
- Plug either the Hand Button or Foot Pedal into the scanner’s USB port (in the back of the base).
- Spread the black document pad under the scanner’s head. Ensure that the gap of the “black document pad” aligned with the device.
- Check the LCD on the head portion to see if the black document pad covers the entire screen and ensure that the desk surface or random edges are not included within the scan. (It is extremely important to make sure that the black document pad covers the entire screen properly to enable the smart algorithm to carry out its calculations and ensure image processing is carried out properly).
- Special reminders
- When scanning larger projects (such as books or multiple documents), we recommend using the Computer Mode (USB-PC) and connecting to the foot pedal to make the scanning process more efficient. Using a computer during scanning will provide additional editing functions to improve the quality and professional of the scanned and processed images.
- Avoid scanning documents in places near windows or environments with strong lighting. Excessively bright ambient lighting will affect the brightness of the ET laser lines and negatively affect scanning results.
- When scanning books, the 3 laser lines of the ET scanner must be on the curved pages. Failure to do so will negatively affect scanning results.
- Please wear the specialized finger cots provided with the ET scanner when holding down the pages during the scanning process to ensure that the finger removal function works properly. Failure to wear the finger cots would affect the finger removal algorithm.
- When scanning, review your requirements and select the proper processing modes of either [Flat Single Page] or [Facing Pages].
- When scanning magazines, coated paper, and other reflective materials, switch the side lights ON and switch the main lights OFF for best results (only for advanced version).
