Knowledge Base

Scanning

You can scan approximately 300 pages on each battery charge. You can scan items between 2”x2” and 8.5”x11.69”, and the scanner will automatically crop the scanned image to the width and height of the item scanned.

 

MEMORY  CARD OR  USB FLASH DRIVE

You can only scan to either a memory card or a USB flash drive. If you have both inserted in the scanner, the scanner will detect and use the memory card for scanning.

1.    Remove the memory card from its case.

2.    Place the memory card, with the copper strips face down, in the SD slot on the back of the scanner.


If you have a USB flash drive, you can connect it to the USB port on the back of the scanner instead of using a memory card.


3.    Turn on the scanner power.

4.    All of the LEDs will flash as the scanner initializes. When the scanner is ready to scan, a single LED

will be lit next to the first function represented by a camera icon.

5.    Tap the function button on the scanner to cycle through the scan options until the LED is lit next to the option you want to use to scan.

 

  Scans in color at 300dpi and creates a JPG (*.jpg) file.

   Scans in black & white at 300dpi and creates an Adobe PDF (*.pdf ) file.

   Scans in color at 300dpi and creates an Adobe PDF (*.pdf ) file.

6.    Insert an item face up in the paper feed slot, aligned to the left side of the scanner. 


7.    The scanner detects the page and starts to feed it through the scanner.

Note that there will be a short pause after you insert the page before the scanner starts to feed the page. This pause allows you to straighten the item in the paper feed slot.

8.    When scanning is finished, the image is saved on the memory card or USB flash drive.

 

RETRIEVING  THE SCANNED  IMAGES

1.    Remove the memory card from the scanner and insert it into the memory card reader in your computer.

If you are using a USB flash drive, remove it from the scanner and plug it into a USB port on your computer.

2.    The memory card or USB flash drive will be detected by the computer as a disc drive from which you can copy or move the images.


Alternatively, you can copy the images directly from the scanner when the scanner is connected to a computer with its USB cable. Simply leave the memory card or USB flash drive in the scanner, and then connect the scanner’s USB cable to the scanner and plug the DATA Cable end into a computer.Turn on the scanner power and the scanner will be detected as a disc drive for you to copy the images from the scanner.

 

SMARTPHONES

You can connect the scanner to your Smartphone and scan directly to the phone’s storage. When the phone is connected to the scanner, the scanner detects the phone’s memory card as the USB flash drive.

1.    If a memory card is in the scanner, remove it before proceeding with these instructions.

2.    Connect the phone’s USB cable to the phone.

3.    Connect the other end of the USB cable to the USB port in the back of the scanner.


4.    Turn on the scanner.

The LEDs on the scanner will flash until the phone is properly detected as a USB flash drive.

5.    Your phone should now prompt you to choose the USB connection type. On your phone choose the USB connection type to mount it as a disc drive. This is the same prompt you would receive when you plug your phone into a computer with a USB cable. If you do not see this prompt, refer to the troubleshooting steps below.

6.    The LEDs on the scanner will stop flashing when the phone is properly set and detected as a USB storage device. When the scanner is ready to scan, a single LED will be lit next to the currently selected scan function.

7.    Tap the function button on the scanner to cycle through the scan options until the LED is lit next to the option you want to use to scan.

10.  When scanning is finished, the image is saved to the phone.

 

RETRIEVING  THE SCANNED  IMAGES

Please follow your normal process for viewing, saving, or forwarding  files on your phone. In most cases, you will need to disconnect the phone from the scanner to be able to access the scanned files.

 

TROUBLESHOOTING  CONNECTION  ISSUES

While several models of BlackBerry and Google Android mobile technology based phones have been tested to work with the scanner, we cannot guarantee that every Smartphone  or feature phone will work, nor guarantee that every phone will work as described above.

Here are some basic troubleshooting steps you can try if your scanner is unable to recognize the phone as a destination drive.

•       The phone did not display a prompt to choose the USB connection type.

Refer to your phone’s user manual for the available USB connection options when you plug the phone into a computer.

Most phones have at least 3 USB options and they are usually to either “charge” the phone via the USB cable, “sync” the phone with the software on the computer, or mount it as a “disc drive” to transfer files to/from the phone.

These are the same options you should see when you plug the USB cable into the scanner instead of to the computer. If you do not see the prompt, check your phone’s USB connection settings and change it to be a disc drive if that option is not already selected.

The phone may have an option to always choose the previously selected USB connection and never prompt you to make the selection again. This may be why you are not getting a prompt to choose your connection type.

•       The phone is connected as a disc drive but the LEDs never stop flashing.

Solution 1:

Check to see if you have a memory card installed on the phone (such as a mini-SD or micro-SD card). An external memory card must be installed in the phone for the scanner to detect the phone as a storage device.

Solution 2:

Some of the phones we tested did not work immediately when selecting the option to use the phone as a disc drive. If you run into this problem with your phone, try the workaround steps listed below. If you find that this procedure works, it must be used each time you connect the scanner to the phone:

1.    Connect the phone’s USB cable to the phone.

2.    Connect the other end of the USB cable to the USB port in the back of the scanner.

3.    Turn on the scanner.

4.    Select the “disc drive” option on your phone when prompted.

5.    At this time the scanner LEDs just continuously flash.

6.    Change the phone’s USB connection type from the “disc drive” option to the “sync” option.

7.    Immediately change the phone’s USB connection type back to “disc drive”.

8.    The phone should now initialize its storage properly and the scanner LEDs should stop flashing.

 

IPAD

Important: You must have an iPad Camera Connection Kit from Apple to use the scanner with an iPad. The camera connection kit contains a USB adapter that plugs into the dock connector on the iPad. You need to attach the USB adapter to the iPad before proceeding with these instructions.

 

You can only scan using the JPG function, represented by the camera icon, when scanning to the iPad.

1.    Insert a memory card into the memory card slot on the scanner.


2.    Plug the small end of the scanner’s USB cable into the mini-USB port on the back of the scanner. 

3.    Plug the DATA Cable USB end into the USB adapter in the iPad.

4.    Turn on the scanner power.

5.    All of the LEDs will flash as the scanner initializes. When the scanner is ready to scan, a single LED will be lit next to the first function represented by a camera icon.

6.    Make sure the camera function on the scanner is selected.

   Scans in color at 300dpi and creates a JPG (*.jpg) file.

7.    Insert an item face up in the paper feed slot, aligned to the left side of the scanner.


8.    The scanner detects the page and starts to feed it through the scanner.

Note that there will be a short pause after you insert the page before the scanner starts to feed the page. This pause allows you to straighten the item in the paper feed slot.

9.    When scanning is finished, the images show in the iPad gallery ready to be imported. Please follow your normal process for importing and viewing files in the iPad.


OTHER TABLETS

As with the Smartphones, there are several tablet models available with Google Android mobile technology platform,  as well as BlackBerry tablets and Windows tablets. Please follow the instructions in the section on scanning to “Smartphones”. If you are unable to scan to the tablet following those instructions, and a standard USB port is available on your tablet device, try following the instructions in the section for scanning to an “iPad”.
