What you scan is what you get. The DocuPen is sensitive to changes in direction andscan speed and records every movement you make. The more uniform your scan swipe,the better your scanned image results. This may take a little practice at first. Scanningtoo quickly or abruptly changing acceleration causes the RED X LED to flash, remindingyou to reduce your scanning speed. To obtain the best scan results, note the following:

Hold document

Keep DocuPen flat

Do Not tilt

The document you scan must be well supported on a smooth flat surface. It is recommendedthat you hold the top of the document with one hand while you scan with theother. Place the DocuPen just above the area you want to scan, with the LEDs on theleft side of the document to be scanned.

Detach the USBcable while scanning.It could hinderyour glidingmotion by pullingon one side of theDocuPen.

Remove staples or clips as they will impede the glidingmovement and the resulted scan will be distorted.

Apply even pressure, in the center of the scanner toallow the rollers to rotate smoothly.

Press the Power ON button, select the desired color and resolution settings and slowlyglide the DocuPen down across the area you want to scan. The unit begins scanning assoon as you start moving the pen. When you stop moving, the scan light (at the bottomof the pen) shuts off and the DocuPen saves the data. You must wait momentarily till thedata is stored in memory. The DocuPen will then automatically shut off.
