1-1 Chapter 1 Introduction Welcome Thank you for purchasing the Info ImageReader Express Scanner. This product is the result of our efforts to develop high technology computer peripherals that are easy to use, affordably priced, and that enhance your computing experience.
1-2 With the introduction of Windows 95, the TWAIN specification has been overhauled to take advantage of the 32-bit architecture. When you install our scanner driver under Windows 95, you will have two TWAIN sources — one for 16-bit applications and one for 32-bit applications.
1-3 OCR: Software in this category is designed to recognize alphanumeric characters in preparation for export to word processing and desktop publishing applications. In other terms, it creates text files. OCR software will not provide image editing capabilities.
1-4 Because scanners are capable of inputting large amounts of data in relatively short periods of time, they commonly push computer systems to the limits of their capabilities. Before beginning any scanning task or operation, carefully consider your system’s processing capabilities, especially processor speed, RAM, and available hard disk space.
2-1 Chapter 2 Scanner Installation and Info Technician Installation Installation of the scanner is comprised of few steps and designed to be as easy as possible. The following instructions walk you through connecting the scanner and cable. It is important to note that both the scanning hardware and its supporting software (e.

3-1 Chapter 3 Using your scanner Scanning features and controls Before scanning images, it is important to understand the scanner’s basic hardware features as well as the software controls. Hardware features Power The scanner requires its own power source (use the adapter provided).
3-2 Paper loading Place the document to be scanned face down on the scanning glass. Books, magazines and other 3-dimensional objects can be easily scanned as well, by laying them on the scanning glass. With bound materials and other objects, the cover is designed to lift up at the hinge to accommodate the item being scanned.
3-3 Fig. 3.2 TWAIN Interface (Using Image Pals 2 GO! software) Preview Window The interface window’s right side displays Pre-scanned images. The Crop Box (dashed line) surrounding the perimeter is used to select the area of the pre-scanned image that you want to scan.
3-4 on Help in the top portion of the window for more information about scan settings. Gamma Gamma refers to the numerical value for the level of intensity or brightness in the tones of color or grayscale images. As the number increases the tonal intensity increases.
3-5 • Image Size Displays the amount of memory that the image will use: Image size = scan mode x resolution x scan area. Tip: Image size can be reduced by cropping pre-scanned image. • Image Measurement Displays unit of image measurement. Can be converted between inches or centimeters by selecting Advanced > Preferences.
3-6 RGB Color: Scan color images and photographs in RGB Color mode when you want to capture and reproduce all the color data. To manage file sizes efficiently, take careful note of the guidelines for resolution (described later) when scanning in RGB.
3-7 Faxing images: Any image you intend to fax from a PC-based fax modem should be scanned at 200 dpi. Fax machines only receive images at 200 dpi, and some programs may fault if you try to scan at higher resolutions. Refer to the chart below for resolution setting guidelines.
3-8 Scanning images Scanning images with your ImageReader scanner is a relatively simple process. The steps below walk you through selecting the appropriate TWAIN source to use, and then scanning an image or document. If you experience problems during any of these steps, please refer to the appendix, Troubleshooting.
3-9 The scanning process The initiation of the scanning process may vary from application to application. Consult the application’s manual for more information if the steps below don’t result in a scan. The instructions provided in these steps assume the application uses the most common process.

If you still experience problems with your scanning speed, follow the directions on page A-2 and A-3 to verify the scanner’s port address and possibly change your computer’s BIOS setup. Printer Problems? Cannot print to printer Check the cable connections on the printer and the scanner.
A-3 2. Be sure you have selected the appropriate source for the application you are scanning into. Most 32-bit applications require you use the Flatbed Scanner (32) source, and 16-bit applications require you use the Flatbed Scanner (16) source.
A-4 2. Check your computer’s BIOS setup to make sure that your printer port is set for EPP or SPP. The ImageReader Express scanner will work on ports that are set for EPP and SPP. The fastest of the modes is EPP. Follow these direc- tions to change your computers parallel port mode.
