For easy access to the screws at the bottom, place the device on the edge of the table.
3. Remove eight hexagonal socket head screws M4x10 on the rear panel.
4. Remove four hexagonal socket head screws M4x10 on the left and four on the right
side of the bottom.
Picture 5: Screws at the rear panel and at the bottom of the body element.
CAUTION!
Danger of injury!
Never put your fingers in the driving element openings.
5. Move the cover in direction of the arrows below for approx. 300 mm (≈12 inch).
This will give you access to the lamp holders.

A.3 Assembling the Gas Spring to the Lamp
Before assembling the glass plate to the Bookeye®3 scanner, a special gas spring has to
be assembled to each lamp.
Place the lamp on a desk a shown in the picture below.
Picture 9: Assembling gas spring to lamp
Slide in the gas spring the direction of the arrow from the bottom side. Fasten the screw
on the gas spring bracket, only hand-screwed at first.
On the bottom side of the notch of the lamp, two T-slot nuts are found. They are used to
hold the lamp in place.
Insert an additional T-slot nut in the notch on the front side of the lamp beam. They come
with the glass plate option. Move the T-slot nut to a position in the middle of the lamp. It is
used to fasten the bearing and will be moved to its correct position later.
When the gas springs are assembled to the lamp, slide the lamps into the main body.
Perform the assembly steps in reverse order from topic 8 to 1 as described in chapter A.2.
Page 12 Glass Plate Setup and Assembly Manual
A.4 Assembling the Glass Plate
Before assembling the glass plate to the Bookeye®3, it is necessary that the scanner is
fully set up and ready to use. That means
— the lamps are connected to the lamp connectors,
— the lamps are fastened to the rear panel,
— the cover has been moved over the main body element,
— all screws (eight screws on the rear panel, four screws on each bottom side, two
screws between the driving elements) are inserted and fastened,
— the book cradle plates are inserted into the driving elements.
Begin with two washers and the bearings. Picture 10 shows in which order the material
has to be placed on the mounting bracket.
Picture 10: Detail view of left mounting bracket with bearing
Start the Bookeye®3 scanner. When the display shows READY TO SCAN press and hold
the CRADLES UP key to move both book cradle plates to the highest position.
Glass Plate Setup and Assembly Manual Page 13
Place the glass plate on the book cradle plates as shown in Picture 11.
Picture 11: Glass plate on book cradle plates
Check the position of the T-slot nuts in the notch of the left and right lamp beam. The
position of the T-slot nuts must correspond with the borehole in the bearing.
Picture 12: Borehole position
If the position of the T-slot nut is not correct, it can easily be moved upwards or
downwards in the notch. Press the T-slot nut a little into the notch and move it to the
desired position.
Page 14 Glass Plate Setup and Assembly Manual
Fasten each holder with the hexagonal socket head screw. Use an Allen wrench to tighten
the screws.
Picture 13: Holder assembled to lamp
The mounting brackets on the left and right side have a ball-shaped head on the upper
side. This ball-shaped head is used to connect the glass plate to the gas spring.
Picture 14: Detail view of mounting bracket
Glass Plate Setup and Assembly Manual Page 15
Note: Because of the weight of the glass plate, the following assembling steps should
be done by two persons.
Lift up the glass plate to a position where it matches with the gas spring end. Hold it in this
position. The second person connects the gas springs to the ball-shaped heads by
pressings the parts together until they click in.
Picture 15: Gas spring assembled to mounting bracket
Picture 16: Setting the opening position
To adjust the glass plate to the desired
opening position, the mounting position of
the gas spring can be varied. While one
person holds the glass plate in place, the
second person opens the screws on both
gas spring brackets a little.
Then the glass plate can be adjusted to the
desired end position.
Finally the screws on the holder must be
securely fastened.
Page 16 Glass Plate Setup and Assembly Manual
Each gas spring has a brake built into it, which is user adjustable. This brake can be used
to stop the glass plate from moving in any position. It has to be noted, that fastening the
brakes need more energy from the operator to lift the glass plate.
Picture 17: Setting the brake power
Adjusting the brake is done in just a few steps.
1. Lower the glass plate to the book cradle.
2. Tighten the screw which sets the brake power with an appropriate tool, e.g. a 10mm
socket wrench.
3. Repeatedly move the glass plate up and down and adjust the screws on the gas
spring.

B Software Setup
B.1 Install the Software Option
The Bookeye must be configured so that the existence of the optional glass plate is known
to the device. Since the glass plate does not connect to the device electrically, some
procedures need to be performed to install it completely.
B.1.1 Install the Option Key
The glass plate option is enabled using a software key, which is part of the shipment. The
key has to be installed first to ensure the proper use of the glass plate.
If a previously purchased key is lost or missing it can be obtained again at no additional
cost at our customer service portal http://service.imageaccess.de.
Enter the IP address of the scanner into your browser.
In the following screen go to Setup Device .
