FOIRE AUX QUESTIONS - HR6XSLIM GENIUS

Comment connecter le scanner à mon ordinateur ?

Connectez le câble USB (type A vers type B) entre le scanner et un port USB libre de l'ordinateur. Branchez l'adaptateur secteur au scanner et à une prise murale. Le système détectera automatiquement le scanner. Insérez le CD d'installation et suivez les instructions pour installer les pilotes et logiciels.

Quels types de documents puis-je numériser ?

Vous pouvez numériser des documents réfléchissants (papier, photos) jusqu'au format A4, ainsi que des films transparents : pellicules 35 mm, diapositives 35 mm et films 120/220 jusqu'à 6x9 cm (avec les supports fournis).

Comment numériser un négatif ou une diapositive ?

Retirez le tapis réfléchissant du couvercle. Placez le film dans le support négatif/positif adapté. Positionnez le support sur la vitre en alignant les repères. Dans le logiciel TWAIN, sélectionnez la source FILM POSITIF ou FILM NÉGATIF et la taille appropriée (35 mm ou 120/220). Utilisez une résolution élevée (600 ppp pour 35 mm) pour une meilleure qualité.

Que faire si le scanner n'est pas détecté ?

Vérifiez que le câble USB est bien branché des deux côtés et que l'adaptateur secteur est connecté. Assurez-vous que le port USB fonctionne (testez avec un autre périphérique). Ouvrez l'utilitaire Scanner (Démarrer > Programmes > Genius Scanner > Scanner Utility) et cliquez sur le bouton USB pour vérifier la connexion. Si le problème persiste, réinstallez le logiciel en retirant puis rebranchant le câble USB après l'installation.

Comment utiliser les boutons rapides du scanner ?

Les cinq boutons (Scan, E-mail/Web, Texte/OCR, Imprimer/Copier, Fichier/Fax) lancent des actions prédéfinies. Vous pouvez configurer chaque bouton via le gestionnaire Scan Manager (clic droit sur l'icône dans la barre des tâches). Par exemple, pour le bouton Scan, choisissez l'application par défaut (Presto! PageManager) et activez l'aperçu automatique si souhaité.

Comment nettoyer la vitre du scanner ?

Utilisez un chiffon doux et non pelucheux légèrement imbibé d'un nettoyant pour vitres non abrasif. Essuyez délicatement la vitre. Ne vaporisez jamais de liquide directement sur la vitre pour éviter les infiltrations. Gardez le scanner couvert lorsqu'il n'est pas utilisé pour le protéger de la poussière.

Quels logiciels sont inclus avec le scanner ?

Le CD fourni contient : Presto! PageManager (gestion de photos), Presto! ImageFolio (édition d'images), Presto! Mr. Photo (photos web), ABBYY FineReader Sprint (reconnaissance de texte OCR), Bridgewell Page abc (édition web), Adobe Acrobat Reader (lecture PDF) et une version d'essai de Cardiris 2.51LE (gestion de cartes de visite).

Comment aligner le scanner si les bords des numérisations sont coupés ?

Ouvrez l'utilitaire Scanner (Démarrer > Programmes > Genius Scanner > Scanner Utility). Placez une photo en haut à droite de la vitre. Sélectionnez Normal comme source d'alignement et cliquez sur Scan. Utilisez les boutons d'alignement pour positionner l'image de sorte que le coin supérieur gauche de la photo corresponde au coin supérieur gauche de l'aperçu. Validez avec la coche.

Comment régler la minuterie d'extinction de la lampe ?

Dans l'utilitaire Scanner (Scanner Utility), accédez à la section Lamp Control. Vous pouvez allumer ou éteindre manuellement la lampe avec l'interrupteur. Pour une mise en veille automatique, utilisez les flèches pour définir le nombre de minutes d'inactivité avant l'extinction (ex : 15 minutes).

Que faire si l'image numérisée est de mauvaise qualité ?

Vérifiez que la vitre est propre. Ajustez les paramètres dans la fenêtre TWAIN : choisissez une résolution plus élevée (300 ppp pour du texte, 600 ppp pour des photos), sélectionnez le mode couleur approprié (couleur 48 bits pour une meilleure fidélité). Pour les documents texte, utilisez le mode Noir et blanc avec une résolution de 300 ppp. Si vous numérisez des films, sélectionnez la source correcte (positif/négatif).

Chapter I. Installing Genius Scanner

Before installing your scanner, please verify that you have all of the proper components. A list of the package contents is provided in this guide.

Software Requirements

Your scanner comes with the software of NewSoft Presto! ImageFolio, ABBYY FineReader, NewSoft Presto! PageManager, NewSoft Mr. Photo, Bridgewell Page abc, Adobe Acrobat Reader, the scanner's driver, Scanner Utility, and Genius TWAIN Program. All of these software applications use approximately 160 megabytes of hard disk space after they are installed into your computer. To ensure ample room for the installation, as well as for scanning and saving images, a minimum of 250 megabytes of hard disk space is recommended.

Hardware Requirements

This scanner connects to your computer through the Universal Serial Bus (USB) which supports hot Plug and Play. To determine whether your computer is USB-capable, you must check the rear of your PC to locate a USB jack that looks the same as the one pictured below. Note that on some computers, the USB port at the rear of the computer may be occupied and additional ports may be found on the monitor or keyboard. If you are having trouble in locating the USB port on your computer, please refer to the hardware manual that came with your computer.

Installing and Setting up the Scanner

2. From the drop-down menu, select Uninstall.
3. A window will pop up, asking you to confirm the deletion of the selected application and all of its components. Click OK and the UninstallShield program will run automatically and delete the scanner software driver.
4. Once completed, restart Windows.

Chapter II. Usage and Maintenance

Operating the Scanner

Your scanner accepts documents as small as business cards and as large as letter-sized documents. However, some software programs have limitations as to the information they can handle. The capacity of the computer's memory and free space on your hard drive can also limit the physical size of the document that you scan.

There are two different ways to operate the scanner:

1. From within an image-editing program that can acquire images from the scanner.
2. By using the Genius Scan Manager program that is automatically installed as your scanner software.

Your scanner needs to be driven by some type of software program. Since all documents or images (whether text or pictures) that are acquired from the scanner are treated by your computer as images, most scanning will probably be done from an image-editing program where you can view, edit, save and output the scanned images. An image-editing program has been bundled with your scanner on the included Setup/Application CD-ROM. It will allow you to alter and correct any scanned images by using a variety of filters, tools and effects.

What about scanning text documents and editing them in a word processor? This is the role of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software. OCR software converts the image files that are created from scanning text documents into text files that can be viewed, edited and saved by word processors. An OCR program has also been bundled on the included Setup/Application CD-ROM, and if you wish to use the scanner in this way you should install the OCR software that is included.

Genius Scan Manager program is a program that allows you to conveniently scan images and text without the need to work directly within any image-editing application (i.e. Presto! ImageFolio). Genius Scan Manager program also includes features to allow you to use your scanner as fax ^6 and copy machines ^7 . Refer to Chapter III of this User's Guide for details about how to use this Scan Manager program with your scanner buttons.

Testing the Scanner

The following test procedure checks to see if the scanner is properly functioning with your computer and the scanning program. Before testing your scanner, check to make sure that all connections are securely fastened.

To properly test your scanner, please perform the following steps:

1. Open the scanner's document cover and place a picture onto the scanner glass headfirst and face-down.
2. Gently close the document cover.
3. Next, open the scanner's image-editing program. Click on the Windows START button and then PROGRAMS, PRESTO! IMAGEFOLIO, and then PRESTO! IMAGEFOLIO.
4. When Presto! ImageFolio opens, click on FILE and then SELECT SOURCE. In the window that opens, choose Genius Scanner (the model name of your scanner). Click on the SELECT button to close the window. This procedure allows Presto! ImageFolio to gain access to the scanner.
5. Within Presto! ImageFolio, click on FILE, ACQUIRE and then choose ACQUIRE.
6. The Genius TWAIN window will open.
7. If an image appears on your screen, your scanner is working properly. If the image doesn't appear to your liking, you might need to adjust some settings in the Genius TWAIN window. To learn how to adjust scanner settings, please refer to the Genius Help by clicking the Help button in the Genius TWAIN window.

4. When you complete the scanning task, click the CLOSE button to close the Genius TWAIN window, and you may review the scanned image in Presto! ImageFolio software

Scanning the Films

Your scanner provides an easier and quicker way to scan transparent materials such as slides, positive or negative film. With the special designed Negative and Positive Film Holder supplied with your scanner, you may have a very different experience in proceeding scanning task. Read the following instructions carefully to learn how to scan the films.

Installing the Transparency Adapter

The transparency adapter is located on the underside of the scanner lid and is a necessary tool when scanning slides or negatives. The transparency adapter already comes installed in your scanner model. To activate it, simply plug it in as shown below.

Using the Negative and Positive Film Holders

1. Remove the reflective document mat. Hold the top of the mat, and gently pull it upward until it is separated from the document cover.

1. Insert a filmstrip or a 120/220 film into the proper compartment on the film holder. Adjust the position of the inserted film, so that the desired image appears in the view window.

Caption

a. Filmstrip

b. 35mm Slides

c. 120/220 film : 6x 4.5 cm / 6x6 cm

d. 120/220 film : 6x7 cm / 6x8 cm / 6x9 cm

a.

b.

C.

d.

1. Place the film holder on the scanner glass, and align the positioning aids of the film holder to fit into the indentations at the upper right-hand or left-hand corner of the scanner glass. Ensure that the ready-to-be-scanned film compartment must be positioned on the center of the scanner glass, and the arrow sign of the particular film compartment must be in alignment with the inverse-arrow sign carved on the scanner housing.

Attention

Note: If you are scanning 35mm slides, place the film holder on the scanner first, and then place the slides in the holder.

1. Select POSITIVE FILM or NEGATIVE FILM as the scan source by clicking the SCAN SOURCE button on the Genius TWAIN window.
2. Select 35mm, 120/220 (6x6 cm) film, or 120/220 (6x9 cm) film as the scan size.
3. Click on the PREVIEW IMAGE icon to preview the image.
4. Adjust the scanning border, if necessary.
5. Click on the SCAN IMAGE icon to start scanning the image.

Important Notes about Scanning Film

• Do not cover any small compartment below each arrow sign on the film holder because that it is necessary for calibration.

• Always replace the reflective document mat onto the scanner's document cover after you finish scanning the films.

• Make sure the film is properly loaded into the film holder and the film holder is correctly positioned on the scanner glass.

• Make sure the proper SCAN SOURCE and SCAN SIZE are selected before proceeding the scanning task.
• It is recommended to use a higher resolution (such as 600dpi for 35mm films, or 300dpi for 120/220 films) when you proceed the film scanning task to prevent the scan images from losing the quality while you enlarge the size of the images.

Scanner Utility Program

The Scanner Utility Program can help you get your new scanner up and running. In addition, it contains a number of other features to help you tailor and control the scanner.

Most significantly, the Scanner Utility Program checks to make sure that the scanner software is properly installed and the scanner and computer are communicating with each other.

Two other features of the Scanner Utility program are the scanning lamp controls and the scanning position alignment utility. The Scanner Utility allows you to turn the scanning lamp on and off, and define an idle time for the scanning lamp to automatically turn itself off. Also, it allows you to define the exact position on the scanning glass where scanning will begin. The scanner lock was designed to hold the scanning lamp in place during shipping, but some refinement of the initial scanning position may still be necessary.

Attention

The Scanner Utility program does NOT affect the quality of scanned images. It is only used to establish a connection with the scanner. Settings that affect the scanned image (i.e., color, size, readability, clarity, etc.) can be found in the scanner software programs and especially the TWAIN interface.

Connection Status

The first step to take when troubleshooting connection problems with your scanner is to check all physical connections. Make sure your scanner is plugged in and the USB cable is fit snugly into the rear of your scanner and computer.

Secondly, determine the status of your USB hardware and software configuration. To do this, please run the Scanner Utility program as described below:

1. Click on the START button, and then choose PROGRAMS, Genius Scanner (the model name of your scanner) and then SCANNER UTILITY.
2. Once the Scanner Utility window is open, locate and click on the USB button shown below:

This will check the status of your USB hardware and software configuration.

1. If there is a problem with the installation, the following message will appear:

1. If the connection is OK, the following window will be displayed:

Status: Scanner connection established!

Aligning the Scanner

In most cases, the scanner doesn't need to be aligned but there are instances when the alignment might be required. You need to align the scanner only if parts of the scanned document are missing from any of its edges. For example, the heading of a document might be missing from the top edge after the document has been scanned.

To align the scanner, follow the steps below:

1. Place a photograph on the top right side of the scanner glass (near the back of the scanner). Please note that only part of the photograph will be scanned.

2. Select NORMAL from the ALIGNMENT SOURCE drop down menu.

3. Click on the SCAN button. Part of the photograph will be displayed in the ALIGNMENT window.

4. Click on the ALIGN POSITION buttons until the top left corner of the scanned photograph aligns with the top left corner of the preview window.

5. Click on the check mark button when the alignment has been completed.

Lamp Control

The scanner's lamp may be turned ON and OFF manually in the Scanner Utility program. While there, you can also set a timer to turn the lamp off after the scanner has been idle for a designated amount of time.

To do this, click on the Windows START button and choose PROGRAMS, Genius Scanner (the model name of your scanner), SCANNER UTILITY. In the window that opens, find the Lamp Control section shown below:

Click on the On/Off switch at the far right of the section to immediately turn the scanning lamp on or off.

You may also set the default time for the lamp to automatically turn off after a scan by clicking the up or down arrows next to the area that reads "minutes to turn off lamp."

Maintenance

To keep your scanner working smoothly, take a moment to review the following maintenance tips.

• Avoid using the scanner in a dusty environment. When it is not in use, keep the scanner covered. Dust particles and other foreign objects may damage the unit.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the scanner. There is danger of an electrical shock and opening your scanner will void your warranty.
• Do not subject the scanner to excessive vibration. It may damage the internal components.

• Be sure not to bump or knock the scanner glass as it is fragile and could break.
• Clean the scanner glass by lightly spraying a non-abrasive glass cleaner onto a soft lint-free cloth. Then, wipe the glass thoroughly with the cloth. DO NOT SPRAY CLEANER DIRECTLY ONTO THE SCANNER GLASS. Excess liquid residue may fog or damage the scanner.
• Your scanner operates best in temperatures between 10^ to 40^ ( 50^ to 104^ ).

Removing the Document Cover

The document cover has been designed for easy removal so that larger items, such as bound books, can be placed on the scanner glass. To remove the cover, open it all the way. Place your other hand firmly at the back of the scanner and lift the document cover, separating it from the back of the scanner. To replace the cover, simply slide it back into place.

Chapter III. How to Use Quick Function Buttons
