4.3 Scanning with the IRIScan Express 4

The IRIScan Express 4 can be used in several ways:

With the Button Manager (Windows only) to scan documents directly to Readiris for

text recognition, scan them to other applications of your choice, to multiple Cloud

destinations, etc.

From within Readiris or Cardiris.

From within the Capture Tool.

Important!

Insert only one page at a time, and insert the next one only when the previous one is done.

Otherwise, the scanner may malfunction.

The paper detector is quite sensitive. Please do not push your document into the feeding

slot or the top of your image will be cut. Simply let go the document when it begins to feed

into the slot.

1. Insert your document FACE UP into the feeder and align it to the left edge of the feeder.

Then, adjust the paper guide to the right-hand side of the document.

2. Gently push the document into the feed slot.

3. On Windows: press the Power button once to start scanning.

4. On Mac OS: click Scan from within Readiris or the Capture Tool.

In this User Guide we only describe the basics how to scan.

Separate User Guides are available for the Button Manager, the Capture Tool, Readiris and

Cardiris.

The documentation package can be found on in the installation package and on

www.irislink.com/support.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Calibrate the scanner

Calibrate only if the scanned image looks fuzzy, the color looks abnormal (e.g., darker than

normal), after more than 8,000 scans, or the scanner has been stored without use for a long

time. The calibration process resets the Contact Image Sensor to resume its color and sharpness

precision.

1. Power on the scanner.

2. Start the Capture Tool.

In Windows:

Click Start > All Programs > IRIScan Express 4 scanner > Capture Tool

Select your driver type and scanner model and click OK.

On Mac OS:

Click Finder > Applications > Capture Tool

3. The Capture Tool dialog box will be displayed.

4. Click the “Setup”button to open the Scanner Properties dialog box.

5. In Windows: click the “Settings”tab and then click the “Calibration”button.

6. On Mac OS: click the “Enhancement” tab and then click the “Calibration”button.

7. The “Insert calibration sheet”dialog box appears.

8. Hold the edges of the calibration sheet (included) and insert it with the text facing up and

the white area feeding first into the feeder (As shown below).

9. Click “OK”in the “Insert calibration sheet”dialog box to start calibrating the scanner.

10. When the calibration is finished, the scanner powers off automatically.

WARNING: If the calibration failed, the Red LED will be flashing and an error message will

be displayed on the screen. Power off the scanner and then repeat the calibration.

11. Power on the scanner to proceed with normal use.

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.

1. Open the cover by holding the scanner with one thumb on the feeder and another thumb on

the cover. Carefully and firmly press your thumb into the feeder and then raise the cover.

This will cause the top of the scanner to release from the bottom of the scanner.
