started.
Write a name for your PDF in the box “Stapelname” (e.g.
"TESTSCAN-01") and press "Enter".
Place the book on the scanner board (straight to the upper border, with the pages to be
scanned facing up) and choose the appropriate size of the document indicated in the
middle of the board B4, B5, A4... (always choose the next larger size).
Enter the corresponding size with the light blue buttons on the left
hand side of the scanner’s keyboard (e.g. “B5 quer”).
Then press the yellow button "1 Rahmen".
2Scanning
Press the book gently with your fingers on its left and right side on the board. Start the
scanning process with either the left or the right long button on the board. You have to
press it quite hard.
After the scanning of the first page you have to adjust the green frame on the compu-ter’s
screen. Move, enlarge or reduce the frame by clicking on it (it will be red and can be
adjusted). The frame’s content is the content of the PDF page!
Attention: only what’s inside the frame is scanned and thus saved to the PDF!
After placing and scaling the frame correctly for the first page, it can
be duplicated by pressing the blue button "2 Rahmen“.
The active one of the two frames is always red, the other one is green (change their status
by clicking on them).
Placing and scaling one frame (“1 Rahmen”) first and then duplicating it by pressing the
“2 Rahmen“ button has the advantage that both frames, that is, both sides of the PDF,
will have the same size.

Turn the page of the book and scan the subsequent pages. On the left side of the computer
screen the scanned pages are listed and can be selected, deleted or moved by clicking on
them (see more in the last section, p.5).
If the colour of the long buttons on the scanner board is red rather than green, the scanner
is in sleep mode and the button has to be pressed twice.
Attention: always double-check the computer screen to see if the scanned text
is within both frames. If not, rescale and replace the frames!
The scanner could report the following errors: Buchdicke nicht erkannt
Buch.zur.o.Blt.Scan.einst
Just ignore them and start again with the scanning of the pages. The button has to be
pressed twice.
3Finishing the scan
When you are finished with scanning push the orange key "Stapel
abschliessen“ to finish the scanning process. If this key does not
respond, as is the case if you did some scan corrections (see p.5), just
press F3 on the regular computer keyboard and confirm the
subsequent query to save your scan.
By pressing "Stapel beginnen" you can start with the scanning of
another book,
or you click on the minimize button in the top right edge of the
window of the “SRZ ProScan” program.
Please leave the computer and scanner turned on!

Eawag
Copy the PDF to your personal scratch disk
(Q:\Diverses\Scratch-Disk).
Copy the PDF to \\lib4ri\scans$.
Empa
Copy the PDF to \\lib4ri\scans$.You can access this folder
via \\lib4ri.eawag.wroot.emp-eaw.ch\scans$.
Tip for Mac users: connect to the server via SMB (e.g. smb://lib4ri/scans$)
6Possible correction tools
Fingers holding the pages flat, holes, margins, shadows,... could be visible on the scan. All
this can be deleted. Further, askew pages can be straightened and the order of the pages
can be changed. However, it is best to scan all pages first and only at the end, but before
finishing the scanning process, to do the corrections.
On the left of the screen you see the pages consecutively numbered. They can be opened by
clicking on these numbers.
•With the right mouse button clicking on the respective page numbers on this list,
the pages can be deleted or their order changed by cutting one page and inserting it
at the desired place (if, e.g., one of the first pages had to be rescanned afterwards).
By pressing the right mouse button within the displayed page or via “Bildbearbeitung“
from the menu list, you can apply corrections, so, e.g.:
•Straighten the text with the commands “Deskew“.
•Erase unwanted shadows with the command "Radiergummi“.
