To scan the data with the IRISPen, you must simply slide the pen
scanner over the line of text or area.
Operate as follows:
• Hold the IRISPen like a pencil and place it a few millimeters
before the first characters or data to be recognized. The pen
scanner must be positioned so that the text line to be read is right
in the center of the scanning head, directly under the guide
line.
! Yellow is the IRISPen's invisible color. It cannot be picked up
by the scanner. Do not scan any data printed in yellow.

Warning:
The pen scanning band is 0.41" (10.5mm.) high and covers in
many cases several lines of text. As the pen only picks the
"central" line within the scanning band, position the line to be
scanned properly.
• Press the pen onto the paper and roll it over the text line at a
steady rate. Once pressed, the start switch is activated and the
data is illuminated by a green light.
