Glass Plate Functionality - Bookeye4 V1A Glass Plate Functionality - Bookeye4 V1A General Information For security reasons, the opening force of the glass plate is limited.
Glass Plate Functionality - Bookeye4 V1A Glass Plate Positions Transport lock position When the scanner is delivered, the glass plate (A) is fixed in its fully up position by two transport locks (two rubber bumpers). The transport locks are positioned at the bottom side of the upper part of the camera neck, near the camera head.
Glass Plate Functionality - Bookeye4 V1A Fully up position On the bottom side of the camera neck, four rubber bumpers are located. The rubber bumpers in front are the transport locks. The two rubber bumpers in the back protect the TFT flat screen and limit movement of the glass plate.
Glass Plate Operating Modes - Bookeye4 V1A Setting the Operation Modes The scanner starts with the operation mode which was set before it was powered-down. To toggle between the modes, press and hold the Cradle Lock button (4) until the Cradle Up (2) and Cradle Down (3) buttons blink. If both buttons blink in blue, the operation mode is set to automatic operation.
Glass Plate Operating Modes - Bookeye4 V1A Automatic Mode To increase productivity, the automatic mode is recommended. Automatic mode differs from the manual mode in one point. After the glass plate is closed and the magnetic lock is engaged, a scan sequence is triggered automatically with the defined settings.
Recovery Recovery Hard Disk / Solid State Disk Software Failure The file system and the Linux operating system of a Scan2Net scanner are very robust and forgiving. The file system has the ability to repair itself, even if the system loses power during a disk write operation, a condition which will almost certainly corrupt any Windows, Android or MAC OS based computer.
➢ Make sure that you know the scanner’s IP address, subnet and gateway valid for the network or have the network administrator available. ➢ Login to the Image Access Customer Service Portal at http://portal.imageaccess.de and obtain the latest firmware for your device.

Recovery Recovery Process 1 The recovery procedure is a simple multistage process. Step Action 2.1 - Scanner with recovery key Wait until the scanner has powered down, then plug in the recovery key to the DB9 connector on the rear side of the scanner.
Page 110
Recovery Step Action 5 - All scanners The recovery procedure starts automatically. It replaces the corrupted content of Scan2Net Linux partition with the content of the recovery partition. This process takes about 10 - 15 minutes. At the end, it powers down the scanner.
Recovery Recovery Process 2 - Update Scanner Firmware Step Action In case the currently installed firmware of the scanner is not the latest version, connect the scanner via a web browser. Select "Setup Device". Login in as "Poweruser" with the user name "Poweruser" and the corresponding password.
Maintenance Maintenance Ensure that no liquids penetrate the device housing. Touchscreen The touchscreen can be cleaned with a microfiber cloth.
