USER'S GUIDE
You can scan some 3.15" (8 cm.) per second. When you scan too fast, image
information gets lost, and the status window blinks for a few seconds inviting you
to scan slower.
The IRISPen reads the text line directly under or closest to the line guide.
Lift the IRISPen to stop scanning. As soon as you do, the recognition software
analyzes the image and the scanned text appears instantly in the output target.
You now have editable characters in your text editor.
ACQUIRING SLEIGHT OF HAND
During the first scans, you may not be satisfied with your results. This is
undoubtedly because you do not scan comfortably. For some users, the IRISPen
takes a little getting used to.
The greyscale image window and the scan test mode allow you to see the
image you generate by scanning. Use these viewers to judge the quality of the
images you produce and improve your scanning skills.
Let’s start with the greyscale image window. This small window displays
the “raw” greyscale images as they are generated by the pen scanner. Let’s not
forget that the IRISPen is the first greyscale pen scanner!
This window is enabled by default; you can activate it by right-clicking the
IRISPen control on the Windows taskbar and selecting the command "Greyscale
Image", and you can select the command "Greyscale Image" under the "Options"
menu of the IRISPen software. Click the close button to close it.
