1. Introduction
The IRIScanTM Anywhere 5 Wifi is designed to be used on its own, disconnected from any computer. The
documents you scan are stored on the scanner's microSD card. From there they can be loaded into
ReadirisTM and IRISCompressorTM, and accessed via Wifi through any Internet browser, and via the IRIScanTM
app for iOS and Android.
Note that the IRIScanTM Anywhere 5 Wifi is not a Twain-based scanner that can be used from within any
application to scan documents. Instead, think of it as an external storage device that is able to scan
independently. Via the IRIScanTM app however it can be used to scan directly to your mobile devices.
