Operating the Scanner

Y
our scanner accepts documents as small as business cards and as wide as letter-sized
documents. However, some software programs can have limitations as to the of information they
can handle. The capacity of the computer's memory, or free hard disk space can also limit the size
of the document that you can scan.

Testing the Scanner

Before testing your scanner, double-check and make sure that all connections are securely
fastened. The following test procedure checks to see if the scanner is properly functioning with
your computer and the scanning software.
To properly test your new scanner, please perform the following steps:
1. Exit all open applications and "Shutdown" your computer.
2. After the computer has shutdown, turn it off and wait approximately 1 minute before turning
it back on.
3. Once your computer is running, enter Windows.
4. The button located on top of the scanner (see Figure 5) turns on the scanning lens and pops-up
the Action Manager program to your computer screen. Once Windows is running, PRESS the
button to enable Action Manager. If Action Manager does not pop-up, enter the Plustek
Scanner program group and click Action Manager to open it to your task bar. Click on it to
maximize, or again press the Action Manager button.
