About This Guide

1. About This Guide
This guide explains how to maintain and operate your wide format copy (iJET) scanner and its
iJET Panel. The guide assumes basic knowledge of other optional configuration components
such as printer, computer and operating system and does not repeat material from their
documentation.
Be sure to refer to:
 The Installation Guide – accessed from the menu on the WIDEsystem TOOLS CD-ROM –
describes installation of your driver if interfacing your scanner with a PC.
 The readme.htm file in the ws folder on the WIDEsystem TOOLS CD-ROM – contains the
most current installation and OS compatibility issues.
 WIDEsystem TOOLS Help – Press F1 after installing and opening WIDEsystem. –
Contains information on using the WIDEsystem application, Scan2Net functionality and
Scanner Maintenance software if interfacing your scanner with a PC.

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 scanner from that PC. Operation of scan and copy software is not
within the scope of this guide. Please refer to the software's documentation and on-line help for
instructions on using the specific software application with the scanner.

1.2 Identify your scanner model icon

This operator's guide covers several scanner models, although there are individual differences
between the models. Use the guide's scanner type icons to direct you to descriptions about
your specific scanner model. Topics describing scanner functions that apply solely for specific
models will be marked with one or several of the icons shown in the table below. Topics
describing functions that apply for all models will be marked with all the icons.
Before proceeding, identify the icon that applies to your scanner model. You can then use the
icon throughout this guide to find the function description that applies for your specific scanner.
If in doubt as to which icon refers to your scanner model, see the Model ID on the sticker on the
back of the scanner. Models not listed in the table below are not within the scope of this guide.
