1.1 Scope

This guide covers installation, operation and maintenance of your scanner. The guide covers only copying
and scanning operation through the iJET Panel.
The scanner can also be operated and controlled though compatible scan and copy software installed on
a PC that is either directly connected with the scanner or on the same network. While this guide will
provide instructions on setting up the scanner with a PC, it will not describe in detail how to operate the
