Think of this scanner as a USB storage device, like a flash drive as pictured below. It is not a twain based scanner
so you cannot use any program to scan from it. When you scan it stores the images in memory until you
connect it to the computer where is shows up as another drive letter in y Computer as pictured below.
The scanner is designed to be used disconnected from the computer until it is time to upload the images stored
in memory. That could be the 512 B internal memory, a USB flash drive or a SD card. With these last two
when you can leave those plugged into the scanner and connect the scanner to the computer you will see two
devices connected.
When you turn on the scanner the light will flash as it powers up. Wait for it to turn a steady green before
attempting to scan. If you press the button again it will turn yellow indicating that it is now scanning at 600 DPI
rather than 300 DPI. When it is inactive it powers down and shows a pale yellow light.
You can access these in the Readiris/Cardiris software by going to
Open in Readiris or File > Load Card images in Cardiris and
navigating to this location and selecting all or selected images.
Readiris

The program can be used with any scanner not just the IRIScan Anywhere. You will not be able to access the
Anywhere by clicking on Scan because there is no twain driver.

processing.
Readiris is a tool to convert pictures of documents into actual documents. The first thing it does is analyze the
page and puts color coded boxes called zones over various sections of the document to tell you what it intends
to do with the various sections if converting to a text based format such as Microsoft ord. These boxes can be
manipulated if necessary.
The first thing to decide when scanning a document is whether you actually want to edit and change it or simply
store it on your computer. If the latter then go to Settings > Text format and change the output to Abode
Reader image or image-text.
Orange = Text
Blue = Picture
Purple = Table
If you need to adjust these zones you can do the following.
1. Right click on the zone and choose indow > Type and select the correct format.
2. To delete all the zones click on the document first and go to Edit > Select all and tap the delete key on
your keyboard. Use the tools on the upper right hand side draw in your own zones. Note that zones
drawn that overlap will merge which is handy for including irregular shapes.
To apply the zoning over a range of pages use these steps.
1. Go to File > Save Layout, give it a name and put it in a known location
2. Go to File > Load Layout, choose the file saved above and check the “apply to all pages” box then click
on open.
These are the basic steps of using the software.
- Open the image file
- Select output format and options in Settings > Text Format
- Click on Recognize + Save to process
