Features of the ArtixScanDI 2020

The ArtixScanDI 2020 comes with several important features, including the following:

• Included Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) — The high-capacity ADF for the ArtixScanDI 2020 holds up to 100 sheets of paper, supporting dimensions from

2.75" x 2.75" up to 8.5" x 14" (legal size).

• Duplex scanning support — With the use of the ADF, both sides of a document can be scanned with the scanner.

• Automatic paper loading—Paper put in the Document Feed Tray of the ADF is automatically sensed by the scanner, and the tray automatically rises to the correct position in preparation for scanning.

• Hi-Speed USB port — Hi-Speed USB is capable of data transfer rates of up to 480 MB/sec. Hi-Speed USB is backward compatible with the original USB standard, providing the high/low data transfer rate via the included Hi-Speed USB cable.

• Support for ISIS and TWAIN — ISIS is a module-extensible standard for acquisition, viewing, data format conversion, printing and storage. TWAIN is another widely used standard implemented in many imaging applications today. Note: If your application does not support ISIS, use a TWAIN application for the ArtixScanDI 2020.

• Microtek ScanWizardDI scanning software — Supporting both ISIS and T WAIN, ScanWizardDI also features full document scanning tools and on-screen proofing. Its multi-scanning area and preview option allow you to obtain quick scans in the preview window .

• Three programmable function buttons — The programmable function buttons on the front panel of the scanner provide you with an intuitive and easy way to access scanner functions.

• Auto-crop and auto-deskew — The auto-crop function automatically detects the size of the original image, crops the full scan frame to fit the image, and removes unwanted black borders. The auto-deskew function automatically corrects distorted images for proper alignment.

• Color dropout — Red, green and blue colors can be dropped out to allow for clearer and more accurate forms processing with problematic color documents.

• Space-saving design — The unique design of the ArtixScanDI 2020 does not require much room for storage and frees up space in workstations for other equipment.

Positioning Your Documents

This section shows you how to position a single-sheet document, as well as a stack of documents.

To position a single-sheet document (such as a single photograph or a page from a book):

Raise the scanner lid, and place the document to be scanned face down on the scanner glass surface. Place the top end of the document towards the back of the scanner, then lower the scanner lid on the scanner glass surface.

When scanning, the rear glass surface should be kept clear and free of obstruction at all times.

With the document face down on the scanning glass, align the document against the Horizontal Ruler of the scanner.

To position a stack of documents: Pull out the Feed Tray Extender, and load the stack of originals onto the Document

Feed Tray, with the side to be scanned facing up. Push the stack of papers onto the tray until the papers' edges touch the front edge of the Document Feed Tray.

Scanning Scenarios

The following pages provide various scenarios for scanning with the ArtixScanDI 2020, including the following:

• Scanning a single-sheet document. This scenario can also be your first scan in order to familiarize yourself with scanning basics.

• Scanning a stack of documents. This scenario utilizes the ADF to scan a stack of documents.

• Scanning multiple scan frames. This scenario lets you scan as many scan frames as you wish and set as many different scan frame attributes as you require. The sample scenario uses a document with mixed text and pictures to illustrate the creation of a main scan frame along with other subframes.

• Scanning for archiving. This scenario utilizes the ADF to scan documents for archiving.

• Scanning for copying. This scenario utilizes the ADF to send documents to your printer.

• Scanning for OCR. This scenario utilizes the OCR function to scan a text document and convert it to a fully editable text file.

A. Scanning a Single-sheet Document

1. Place the single-sheet document to be scanned on either the scanner glass surface or on the ADF’s Document Feed Tray.

Warning :

• Do not place photo paper or fragile sheets of paper on the feed tray, as doing

this will damage the original photo or fragile sheet during the feeding process. Always place frail originals on the scanner glass surface and choose “Flatbed” as your Scan Source.

• Before scanning the document from the ADF, make sure the flatbed scanning

area is clear of any obstruction. Otherwise, a scanning error may occur.

2. Launch ScanWizardDI (either as a stand-alone by clicking the program icon, or by using the “File-Import” or “Scan” command from an application program).

3 . Specify your scanning requirements in the ScanWizardDI control panel.

a) Select your image output device in the Scan Source drop-down menu.

- Select Flatbed if you place the document on the scanner’s glass surface.
