Setting Up Doxie
Your First Time with Doxie
Getting Doxie ready to go is easy. First, you need Doxie’s companion app for your Mac or
PC, available for download here:
Follow the on-screen directions to get started. To set up Doxie:
1. Unplug the scanner if you’ve plugged it in already.
2. Download and install the Doxie app at: http://www.getdoxie.com/start
3. Launch the Doxie app.
4. When prompted by the installer or Doxie app, connect the scanner to your computer’s
USB port. Connect Doxie directly to your computer or a powered USB hub only; never
connect Doxie to an unpowered USB hub (like the one built into USB keyboards).
Calibrating Doxie
Doxie needs to be calibrated before you start scanning. You’ll be prompted to calibrate the
rst time you set up the Doxie app. In the future, you can calibrate by selecting Doxie >
Calibrate Doxie from the menu bar.
1. Select Doxie > Calibrate Doxie from the menu bar.
2. Insert the calibration sheet face down. If unavailable, use a blank sheet of paper.

Scanning with Doxie
Start Your Scan
• Push Doxie’s heart button to begin scanning.
• After Doxie nishes scanning the page, repeat the scan process until you’ve scanned all
your documents.
• Scan related or unrelated sheets – you can reorder and organize them after scanning in
the Doxie app.
Inserting Paper
• When inserting your paper in Doxie’s slot, put it in face down, straight, and aligned to
the right – follow the arrow printed on Doxie’s slot.
• Doxie grabs your paper automatically using a feature called prefeeding. By prefeeding
Doxie can ensure proper alignment of your paper while feeding your paper through
with its internal rollers.
• Insert paper quickly until it stops and hold it in until Doxie grabs the paper. If you hear
Doxie prefeed before you’ve fully inserted the paper, remove the paper and try again.
• When Doxie successfully grabs your sheet you know you’re ready to scan.

After the Scan

Scans are stapled in the order they appear in the window.
• Reorganize scans by dragging and dropping.
• The bottom bar allows you to save, send, or upload to the cloud.
• Scans have basic adjustment options. These options are automatically set,
but you might want to tweak the settings. To manually adjust an image, double click
the desired scan.

Caring for Doxie
Cleaning Doxie
Doxie occasionally needs routine maintenance to perform at its best. If your scans
are showing lines, black dots, or other quality issues, or if Doxie’s automatic
rotation and cropping doesn’t seem to be working correctly, it’s time to clean
and calibrate your scanner.

USB Power & Image Quality
Always connect Doxie directly to your computer, or through a powered USB
hub – that is, a hub that’s also connected to an external power source. Never
connect Doxie to a bus-powered hub, such as the hub that’s built into some USB
keyboards. Poor image quality and paper feeding issues will result if Doxie doesn’t
have enough power to operate, or is connected to a low quality power supply.
