Basic Scanning

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.

• Connect the scanner to your computer using the provided USB cable. The scanner is powered on automatically.

• Insert your document FACE UP into the feeder and align it to the LEFT edge of the feeder.

1. Gently push the document into the feed slot.
2. Press the Scanner button once to start scanning. The document will be sent to the default destination of the Button Manager.

Note: it takes a few seconds for the scanner to start.

Scanning like an ADF (Automatic Document Feeder)

The IRIScan Executive 4 can also be used as an ADF in which you insert one sheet after the other without having to click or press Scan every time.

1. Start the Button Manager from All Programs > IRIS Button Manager.
2. Right-click the button you want to use.

1. Select Use Twain next to Advanced Settings, and click OK to confirm.

Tip: to remove Blank pages from your scans, click the Setup button next to Use Twain. Click the Separation tab and select Blank Page Removal Threshold. The more you move the slider to the left, the sooner a page will be considered blank.

1. Now insert a page into the scanner and click the button you configured.
2. Once the page has been fed through a message appears informing you you have 15 seconds to insert another page.
3. Insert the other pages you want to scan one by one.

1. When you are done scanning all your pages, click Cancel.

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. Connect the scanner to your computer.

2. Start the Capture Tool.

3. Click Start > All Programs > IRIS IRIScan Executive 4 Scanner > Capture Tool

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

1. The Capture Tool dialog box will be displayed.
2. Click the "Setup" button to open the Scanner Properties dialog box.
3. Click the "Settings" tab and then click the "Calibration" button.
4. The "Insert calibration sheet" dialog box appears.
5. 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).

1. Click "OK" in the "Insert calibration sheet" dialog box to start calibrating the scanner.

WARNING: If the calibration failed, the led will be flashing and an error message will be displayed on the screen. Disconnect and reconnect the scanner and then repeat the calibration.

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.
2. Gently wipe the glass and feed rollers on the scanner, and the CIS cover with the cleaning cloth (included).

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Clearing a Paper Jam

When a document is jammed inside the feeder the scanner led blinks green.

To clear a jam from the feeder, press and hold the Power button for 3 seconds to power off, then press quickly to power on again. The jammed document will be fed through automatically.

If the document is still jammed, follow these steps to remove it:

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.

6.2 Questions and Answers

Question:	Why doesn’t my scanner power on
Answer:	Make sure the scanner is connected to your computer using the provided USB cable.

Question:	Why does my scanned image always come out too dark?
Answer:	1. Please adjust the screen settings to SRGB. 2. Please adjust the brightness settings on the screen from application software.

Question:	Why are there strange lines on the scanned document?
Answer:	Please check the following: 1. Are there scratches on the original or is the original clean ? 2. Remove any stains or dust from the original before scanning. 3. Clean the rollers and glass with the included cleaning cloth. (Refer to the section “Clean the scanner”)

Question:	When I choose 600 dpi as optical resolution, why are the "auto crop" and "deskew" functions disabled?
Answer:	Since performing auto crop and deskew consumes great deal of system memory, it is recommended to select an optical resolution below 600 dpi to prevent errors.
Question:	Should the scanner feel warm to the touch?
Answer:	It is normal for the scanner to emit a small amount of heat after prolonged use. However, if there are strange odors coming from the scanner or the scanner feels a little bit hot to the touch, turn the scanner off immediately.
