1. Introduction
The IRIScan™Book 3 is designed to be used on its own, disconnected from any computer. The documents you scan are stored on the
scanner's microSD card. Then, you can transfer them to your computer and turn them into editable documents thanks to the IRIS’
flagship OCR software Readiris™ Pro.
Note that the IRIScan™Book 3 is not a Twain-based scanner that can be used from within any application to scan documents. Instead,
think of it as an external storage device that is able to scan independently.

TIPS:
1. In case you need to create multi-page PDF's:
- Scan your pages one by one.
- Transfer the image or single-page PDF files you scanned to your computer.
- Use Readiris™to generate multi-page PDF files.
2. When you are scanning a small, thick book it may occur that the margin is too narrow and you are not able to scan the entire
text.
You can solve this problem by scanning the pages horizontally and rotating your images with Readiris™.
Another solution is to place the scanner at the bottom of the page, turn it upside down and scan upwards. You will notice that
the scanner's right margin is smaller than the left.
