Preparation and Initial Setup

1. Connect the mini end of the USB cable (included with scanner) to the Mini USB socket on the scanner.

2. Power on your computer, and then connect the large end of the USB cable to a USB port on your computer to start        chargingthe built-in battery of the scanner.

 After the battery is fully charged, disconnect the scanner from the computer.

NOTE: It takes approximately 4 hours to fully charge the scanner battery. See Indicators on page 7 to identify the charging status.

3. Insert an unlocked (writable) memory card into the memory card slot, or a USB flash drive into the USB port on the scanner.

 

 

NOTE:

You can also use this scanner without a

memory card or USB storage device. The scanner has a built-in 512MB memory.

• When storing images, the scanner uses

the three possible memory types in the following priority order:

USB flash drive > Memory card > Built-

in memory

• The scanner only accepts memory cards in FAT16 or FAT32 format. NTFS and

other file systems are not supported.

• See Supported Memory Card Types on page 17 for all supported memory card

types.

 

Power on the Scanner

1. Press the Power button. The Power and

Status indicators blink.

NOTE: For more information on the indicator lights, refer to Indicators on page 7.

2. Wait until the Power indicator stops blinking and then goes off. The Status indicator will stay on steady, indicating that the scanner is ready.

 

 

NOTE: Do not insert any original into the feeding slot when the Power indicator is blinking; the original will not be scanned.

Set the Scanning Resolution

The scanning resolution is measured in dpi (dots per inch). The higher the dpi, the more details on the original will be captured by the scanner and the higher the quality of the scanned image will be. However, a higher dpi will also result in a larger image size and occupy more space on the memory card.

To change the scanning resolution, press and release the Power button. The scanning resolution changes with each press of the button, and the color of the Status indicator will also change according to the resolution selected:

 

• Green: 300dpi (normal mode, default setting)

• Orange: 600dpi (fine mode)

 

Scan an Original

1. With the side to be scanned facing upward and in the correct orientation (refer to Orientation of the Original and Scanned Image on page 9 ), place one edge of the original on the scanner and adjust the paper guide so that the original is aligned with the left side of the feeding slot.

CAUTION: Do not scan glossy photos in humid environments (humidity higher than 70% RH). Otherwise the surface of the photo will become sticky and cause the scanner to jam.

2. Insert the original into the feeding slot. The original will be fed through the slot and scanned automatically. The Power

indicator blinks while scanning.

NOTE: To prevent poor image quality, reserve adequate space behind the scanner.

3. When the scanning is completed, the Power and Status indicators will keep blinking momentarily, indicating that the scanner is processing the image and storing the file onto the memory card. Wait until the indicator lights stop blinking before inserting and scanning the next original.

CAUTION:

Insert only one original at a time. Insert the next original only when the previous one is done. Otherwise the scanner may malfunction.

NOTE:

• Always place the scanner on a flat surface for scanning. Do not hold the scanner while scanning.

• Do not remove the memory card or USB flash drive (if connected) while the indicators are blinking.

• This scanner is not guaranteed to be compatible with all USB

flash drives on the market.

• A fully charged battery can sustain up to 100 scans of A4/Letter size plain paper at 300dpi. This is a factory test value for your

reference, and actual battery performance may vary.

• This scanner only supports output images in JPEG (.jpg) format, and the date/ time attribute will not be added.

• For more information on how this scanner stores the scanned

image files on the memory card, refer to File Naming and

Storage Rules on page 17.

• If the memory space is nearly full (lower than 10MB), the Status

indicator blink (refer to Indicators on page 7). Use another card or delete some files on it if necessary.

4. To power off the scanner after all originals are scanned, press and hold the Power button for 1 second until the indicators go off.

NOTE: The scanner will automatically power off if it is left idle for 5 minutes (if not connected to a computer).

 

Automatic Image Cropping

This scanner has a built-in cropping function that detects and crops dark edges of an original during the scan process. See the illustration below.

Scanning resolution	Cropping size (as measured on theoriginal)
	A	B	C	D
300dpi/600dpi (when the original’s size is larger than 5" x 7")	3 mm	3 mm	3 mm	3 mm
300dpi/600dpi (when the original’s size is smaller than 5" x 7")	1.5 mm	1.5 mm	1.5 mm	1.5 mm

NOTE: When scanning darker originals (for example, a photo of the night sky), over-cropping may occur. Please insert the original in a different direction (orientation) and try again.

Connecting the Scanner to a Computer

By connecting the scanner to a computer, you can access the scanned images on the memory card, USB flash drive and scanner’s internal memory directly, or use the scanner as a memory card reader, so that you can freely copy, paste or delete files using the computer.
