The following describes how you can check if the scanner is properly functioning
with your computer and the scanning software by performing your first scan with our
13
bundled application NewSoft Presto! PageManager. Before testing your scanner,
double check to make sure that all connections are securely fastened.
To test the flatbed scanning:
1. Open the scanner's document cover. Place a document face down onto the
scanner glass and align the document top with the reference mark.
2. Gently close the document cover.
3. Click the Windows Start button to launch NewSoft Presto! PageManager.
4. (If you have only one scanner connected with your computer, please skip to
Step 5.)
If you have more than one scanner or other imaging device installed on your
computer: Click Select Source from the File menu of Presto! PageManager
and then choose this scanner as the default scanning source.
5. Within Presto! PageManager, click Tools > Scan Settings > uncheck
“Suppress TWAIN User Interface” > OK. Click File > Acquire Image Data.
6. In the TWAIN window that opens, select Flatbed Reflective as the Scan Type.
7. Click the Scan button.
8. If an image appears on your screen, your scanner is working properly.
To test the ADF scanning:
1. Load a single-page document face up into the ADF (for detailed instructions on
loading paper into the ADF, please refer to the “Placing Documents” section of
this guide.)
14
2. Select ADF as the Scan Type within the TWAIN window.
3. Click the Scan button.
4. The document in the ADF input tray should be now loaded into the ADF and
scanned. After this process, you should see a scanned image of the document
on your screen.
5. Click Exit to exit the TWAIN window.
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.
15
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. Preparing Documents
Step 2. Placing Documents
Step 3. Scanning Documents
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.
Scanning 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 damage 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., envelopes
Paper with wrinkles, curls, folds, or tears
Paper with an odd (non-rectangular) shape
Tracing paper
Carbon paper, pressure sensitive paper, carbonless paper
17
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.

1. If you need to scan documents longer than A4/Letter (11.69”), pull out the
paper guide extension to provide further support for the documents.
18
2. Load the documents, headfirst and face up, toward the center of the ADF input
tray and all the way into the ADF until touching the bottom.
3. Adjust the paper width slider for the paper size you are using. The paper width
slider should be gently touching both sides of the documents.
Attention
Paper scanned from the ADF must be a
minimum of 90 x 114 mm (3.55 x 4.5”,
WxL).
Make sure there are no gaps between the
document stack and the paper-width slider;
otherwise, the scanned images can be
skewed.
Although the documents should be loaded
firmly in place ensuring optimum scanning
accuracy, they should never be wedged in
so tightly that the process of feeding them
through the scanner is strained.
Do not load additional paper into the ADF
while the unit is feeding and scanning.

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) and OCR software (ABBYY FineReader Sprint Plus) to scan via the
TWAIN interface. When you get familiar with the scanning, you may alternatively use
other TWAIN compatible scanning programs or image-editing applications to do your
scanning projects.

The settings for each single-touch button on the scanner's front 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 front 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 single-touch button on
your scanner's front 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 by Using the Single-Touch 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 “Chapter II.
Scanning” of this guide for more information in placing paper into the ADF or 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 front panel.
24
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.
25
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 AC
adapter 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.

The following describes how to clean the scanner:
1. Insert the special cleaning paper into the document feeder of the scanner.
Attention
Do use the cleaning paper included in our
package box. Remember to replace the
cleaning paper in a safe and clean place
when you finish using it.
