There are two ways to scan documents or Cards using the IRIScan. You can scan with either the buttons on
the scanner or from within the supplied programs. You will need to choose one or the other as only one can
operate at a time.
1. Use the button manager which is loaded at startup. Click on the icon on the dock and go to Preferences
where you will see this screen. You can configure the right button to send to Readiris where you will be able
to process the image to the desired format. If you decide you do not want the button manager go to System
Preferences > Accounts > Startup items and remove.

scanner to send the cards to the software.

and change the information in a word processor like Microsoft Word or Pages. You can also convert
spreadsheets to excel or simply convert to a pdf file with or without the converted text.

and places numbered and labeled
boxes over various sections of the
document to tell you what it intends
to do with those areas
