If it is not plugged in, a small cross is displayed on the IRISPen™ icon in the System Tray. • Make sure the correct document language is still selected. (See Step 5.) 2.

The recognized text appears in the application. If the scanning was not performed correctly, animated scanning tips appear on screen.

To start a scan on a new line: • Click and slide the IRISPen™ over a line of text. • At the end of the line, click again with the IRISPen™. The cursor now moves to the line below. To modify the default settings, click the settings icon. Then click the Separators tab and select the separators you want to apply. Tips: • Lines can either be scanned as text or as image.

Place the scanner well in front of each word to start the scanning, and also end the scanning well after each word.
