The IRISPen icon

The IRISPen icon appears by default in the notification area of the
Windows task bar. It confirms that the application is running and
that the pen scanner is connected. If the pen is detached from the
USB port, the notification area will indicate it.
You can restore the application with a simple click on the icon. A
right-click on the icon also allows you to enable the Image Quality
Check
window, the Status window, and the Scan Test window.

ALIBRATING THE PEN SCANNER

Before you start using the IRISPen, you must calibrate the pen
scanner. If you don't calibrate the scanner, the image quality will be
low and the recognition results may be mediocre.
You are automatically prompted to calibrate the pen scanner when
running the software for the first time. All you need to do is push
your pen on a white piece of paper
for a few seconds. The
software indicates when the calibration is complete.
