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

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 USBcapable, 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.
Upon examination, you should find one or two rectangular USB ports, which
usually appear as shown below.

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 machines7. Refer to Chapter III of this
User’s Guide for details about how to use this Scan Manager program with your
scanner buttons.

A fax/modem and fax software is required to send faxes.
7
A printer is required to make copies of document.

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.

software programs and especially the TWAIN interface.
Attention
CCoonnnneeccttiioonn SSttaattuuss

AAlliiggnniinngg tthhee SSccaannnneerr
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. Click on the SCAN button
. Part of the photograph will be displayed
in the ALIGNMENT window.
3. 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.
4. Click on the check mark button

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.
Caution
• 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
° C to 40° C (50° F to 104° F).
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.
