I.R.I.S. ANYWHERE 2 User manual

Installation
Insert the CD and double click on the icon to open the install menu. There are three installers with the ACDSee
Express being optional. It is similar to iPhoto. Note the I IScan Anywhere User Guide which you can drag to the
applications alias to make it available on the hard drive.
Usage
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. See the attached Quick
Start for more detail. This file is also on the CD.
Think of this scanner as a USB storage device, like a flash drive pictured below. When you
scan it stores the images as jpg’s in memory until you connect it to the computer where is shows up
on the desktop as a mounted drive. There is no twain driver so it cannot be accessed to scan from
another application.
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 MB internal memory, a USB flash drive or a SD card. With these last two when
you leave all of those plugged into the scanner and connect the scanner to the computer you will see three drives
on the desktop. There will be one for the scanner and the other two for the USB Flash/SD card.
If you scan while the scanner is plugged into the computer it will dismount the drives until the scanning is
completed and then remount them. You can also transfer the USB flash or SD card rather than connecting the
scanner.

The eadiris software is a conversion tool to take an image of a document or PDF and convert it to a format
where it can be edited or stored as a PDF. The first thing it does is analyze the page and puts numbered and
labeled 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 Word or Pages.
These can be changed and manipulated by either CT L clicking on them to choose a different treatment type or
using the Zones tool on the right tool bar. Note that when you draw a zone of the same type that overlaps an
existing zone they will merge which is handy for including irregular shapes or treating as a single block.
These are the steps in brief. For more information see the eadiris Getting Started Guide available on our
website. http://www.irislink.com/Support/gettingstarted
