Tips

Adding a timestamp to your images

Your IRIScan^TM   Book 2 scanner adds a timestamp to the images you scan. This way, you know exactly when they where scanned.

To get a correct timestamp the Time Settings need to be set:

• Press the  /Scan button for 2 seconds to power on the scanner.
• Insert a pointy object, like a paper clip, into the Time set button:
• Then press C/BW or DPI to change the (1) year. Press  /Scan to confirm and move on to the (2) month.
• Repeat step 1 for the (2) month, (3) date, (4) hour and (5) minutes.

Scanning small, thick books

When you’re scanning a small, thick book it may occur that the margin is too narrow and you’re not able to scan the entire text.

You can solve this problem by scanning the pages horizontally and rotating your images with Readiris^TM.

Another solution is to place the scanner at the bottom of the page, turn it upside down and scan upwards. You’ll notice that the scanner’s right margin is smaller than the left.
