5.2 Cleaning the scanner
In order to maintain an optimal scan quality and prevent dust accumulation, it is recommended you clean
the scanner (outer casing and feed rollers) approximately every 200 scans, or if vertical lines or stripes
appear on the scanned image.
Use only the recommended and supplied tools to clean the scanner.
WARNING: Do not use any solvents or corrosive liquid (i.e., alcohol, kerosene, etc.) to clean any part
of the scanner, otherwise the plastic material may be permanently damaged.

6.2 Questions and Answers
Question:
Why doesn’t my scanner power on
Answer:

your computer using the provided
USB cable.
Question:
Why does my scanned image
always come out too dark?
Answer:
1. Please adjust the screen settings to
SRGB.
2. Please adjust the brightness
settings on the screen from
application software.
Question:
Why are there strange lines on the
scanned document?
Answer:
Please check the following:
1. Are there scratches on the original
or is the original clean？
2. Remove any stains or dust from the
original before scanning.
3. Clean the rollers and glass with the
included cleaning cloth. (Refer to the

Question:
When I choose 600 dpi as optical
resolution, why are the "auto crop"
and "deskew" functions disabled?

Since performing auto crop and deskew
consumes great deal of system
memory, it is recommended to select
an optical resolution below 600 dpi to
prevent errors.

radio waves.
When using this product near such devices or inside a medical facility, follow the directions
marked on the devices concerned and the instructions for authorized staff members at the facility,
and follow all posted warnings and directions on the device to avoid causing an accident.

Battery-related safety instructions
For models with interchangeable batteries (IRIScan Book), never leave dead batteries in the
device, because they may corrode and cause irreversible damage to the device (the warranty
does not cover this type of incident). When replacing the batteries, handle them carefully to avoid
all risk of injury or fire due to leakage, overheating, explosion, erosion, or any other damage to
the product.
For models with a built-in rechargeable, non-interchangeable lithium battery (IRIScan Anywhere 3
or IRIScan Anywhere 3 Wifi), do not open the scanner and never remove the battery. It should be
replaced by certified technical personnel only. In case of doubt about battery performance, stop
using the scanner and contact your dealer or IRIS customer support to receive instructions on the
procedure to follow.
If you are not planning to use the scanner for a long period (more than a month), be sure to
remove the batteries from models that allow it (IRIScan Book).
If you have not used the scanner with non-interchangeable lithium battery (IRIScan Anywhere 3
or IRIScan Anywhere Wifi) for at least a month, remember to charge it fully before its first use.
Keep batteries out of the reach of children. If battery acid comes into contact with skin or eyes,
immediately rinse the affected area thoroughly with water and seek medical treatment. If a
battery is swallowed, seek medical treatment immediately.
If battery acid leaks from a battery, wipe it off with a cloth and replace the battery with a new
one.
Use alkaline, lithium or Ni-MH batteries (AA or AAA size) for the IRIScan Book 3 and IRIScan
Book Executive 3 respectively.
Do not use new and old batteries together or mix different types or brands of battery.
Insert the batteries so that the polarities are as indicated.
Remove dead batteries promptly.
Do not expose batteries to heat, fire or water.
Do not remove batteries with metal objects such as tweezers or the tip of a pen.
Cover the ends of the batteries with tape to prevent combustion or explosion when disposing of
them.
Make sure always to follow local battery disposal regulations.
