CHAPTER II. SCANNING
Your scanner needs to be driven by certain 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 for 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.
DI Capture, as its name suggests, is a specialized document image capture
program that allows you to conveniently digitize your paper documents and
automatically save their electronic files in the designated folder. If you are not familiar
with scanning, no problem: the Scan Wizard will guide you through to complete each
scanning task.
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 questions
you may have while scanning within that program.
This chapter describes three important steps of scanner operations. Read them
thoroughly and follow the instructions to ensure correct use and optimal scanner
performance.
Step 1. Activating the Scanner Connection
Step 2. Preparing Documents
Step 3. Placing Documents, Placing Business Cards
Step 4. Scanning Documents
ACTIVATING THE SCANNER CONNECTION
In order to accommodate operation flexibility, you may connect this scanner to two
computers by the USB cables. Every time when you need to scan, you can choose one
14
of the computers to activate the scanner connection and then operate the scanner.
This scanner features PC1 and PC2 buttons that allow you to switch the scanner
connection between computer 1 and computer 2. You can activate the connection
between the scanner and each computer by pressing either PC1 or PC2 button on the
scanner.
To operate the scanner from computer 1, please press PC1 button on the scanner.
The icon appears in the Windows system tray of the computer 1 and the light of
PC1 button is on. The scanner connection between the scanner and the computer 1 is
activated, ready to scan images.

Attention
Make sure to activate the scanner
connection between the scanner and the
computer before you scan documents.
DO NOT switch the scanner connection by
pressing PC1 or PC2 button while the
scanner is processing the scanning tasks.
By default, when both computer 1 and
computer 2 are connected to the scanner
and powered on, only the scanner
connection between the scanner and the
computer 1 is activated and the light of PC1
button is on. When the scanner and PC1 are
disconnected and the light of PC1 button is
off, the scanner connection between scanner
and PC2 is activated automatically and the
light of PC2 button is on.
PREPARING DOCUMENTS
Proper document preparation prior to the scan can prevent paper feed errors and
damages to the scanner.

Make sure the size and ream weight of your documents are acceptable by the
scanner. Refer to “Appendix A: Specifications” of this guide for more information.
15
To scan multiple documents in a batch from the ADF can increase your work
efficiency and make large scanning tasks easier. The ADF of this scanner accepts a
variety of paper and stationery you may use in your daily work or personal life, such as:
Normal paper whose size and ream weight meet the requirements stated in
“Appendix A: Specifications” of this guide.
Notched paper
Coated paper (e.g., brochure)
Attention
To prevent paper feeding errors and damages to
the ADF unit, strictly follow the instructions below:
Remove all small objects e.g., paper clips,
pins, staples or any other fasteners attached,
before loading the paper into the ADF.
Make sure the paper is completely flat with
no creased or curled corners.
Avoid scanning documents with pencil lead
and newspaper clippings as they will make
the ADF exposure glass and the inner ADF
dirty. If you have to scan such paper, clean
the scanner frequently (refer to “Chapter III.
Care and Maintenance” of this guide for
more information).
The paper for each batch scanned by ADF
can be of the same or different weights.
However, make sure the length of each scan
batch is the same.
However, use the flatbed to manually scan documents if they meet any of the
following conditions:
Paper lighter than 50 g/m2 (14 lb.) or heavier than 120 g/m2 (32 lb.)
Paper with clips or staples attached
Paper with inconsistent thickness, e.g., envelops
Paper with wrinkles, curls, folds, or tears
Paper with an odd (non-rectangular) shape
Tracing paper
Carbon paper, pressure sensitive paper, carbonless paper
Items other than paper, e.g., cloth, metal foil.
Attention
DO NOT use the ADF to scan photographic
sheets or particularly valuable document
originals; wrinkles or other damages can
happen in case of paper feeding errors.
DO NOT place paper with wet ink or
correction fluid onto the flatbed glass or into
the ADF. Wait few minutes for it to get dry.

Before loading documents into the ADF, loosen them as follows:
1. Fan the documents so that no two pages are sticking together.
2. Hold the documents upside down with both hands, and then gently push them
onto a flat surface to align the edges of all documents.
This will allow documents being fed into the ADF one at a time and prevent paper-
feeding errors.

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.
The following describes how you may use our bundled application (NewSoft
Presto! PageManager), OCR software (ABBYY FineReader Sprint Plus) and Business
card Recognition Software (HotCard BizCard Finder) to scan via TWAIN interface.
When you get familiar with the scanning, you may alternatively use other TWAIN
compatible scanning program or image-editing application to do your scanning projects.

CHAPTER III. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your scanner is designed to be maintenance-free. However, constant care and
maintenance can keep your scanner working smoothly.
CLEANING THE SCANNER
Paper powder, dust, ink and toner from paper being scanned may make the
scanner glass and the inner ADF dirty, which leads to poor image quality or document-
feeding errors. How often to clean your scanner depends on the type of paper and
number of pages being scanned.
Perform the following procedures to clean the scanner surface, scanner glass and
the ADF unit. Gently wipe locations described herein. Do not rub too hard.
Warning
Before cleaning the scanner, turn off the
scanner and disconnect the scanner’s power
cable and USB cable, and then wait a few
minutes for the glass and/or the inner ADF to
cool to ambient temperature.
Wash your hands with soap and water after
cleaning the scanner.

CALIBRATING THE SCANNER
30
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. The Calibration Sheet is used specially for ADF Scanning calibration.
2. Insert the special calibration sheet into the ADF of the scanner.
Attention
Please insert the special calibration sheet
included with the scanner. Alternatively you may
also use any plain white sheet of paper sized in
A4 (216 by 297 mm) instead; however, the
calibration effect may be less good than the
special calibration sheet.
3. Click Start > All Programs > Your scanner model name > Calibration
Wizard.
4. Click Next from the Calibration Wizard that pops up and then click Calibrate
Now.... Start to begin the Flatbed Reflective calibration process. After the
calibration is complete, click OK.
5. Click Calibrate Now.... Click on the Start button to begin the ADF calibration
process.
6. The scanner pulls the calibration sheet through the scanner, which completes
this scanner calibration. After the calibration is complete, click OK and then
click Finish.
POWER SAVE
31
To save power consumption, when the scanning process is finished, the scanner
light source will turn itself off and the scanner will enter a lower-power mode without
delay time.
