1. About This Guide
This guide explains how to maintain and operate your wide format copy (iJET) scanner and its iJET Panel.
The guide assumes basic knowledge of other optional configuration components such as printer,
computer and operating system and does not repeat material from their documentation.
Be sure to refer to:
 The Installation Guide – accessed from the menu on the WIDEsystem TOOLS CD-ROM –
describes installation of your driver if interfacing your scanner with a PC.
 The readme.htm file in the ws folder on the WIDEsystem TOOLS CD-ROM – contains the most
current installation and OS compatibility issues.
 WIDEsystem TOOLS Help – Press F1 after installing and opening WIDEsystem. – Contains
information on using the WIDEsystem application, Scan2Net functionality and Scanner
Maintenance software if interfacing your scanner with a PC.
1.1 Scope
This guide covers installation, operation and maintenance of your scanner. The guide covers only copying
and scanning operation through the iJET Panel.
The scanner can also be operated and controlled though compatible scan and copy software installed on
a PC that is either directly connected with the scanner or on the same network. While this guide will
provide instructions on setting up the scanner with a PC, it will not describe in detail how to operate the
scanner from that PC. Operation of scan and copy software is not within the scope of this guide. Please
refer to the software’s documentation and on-line help for instructions on using the specific software
application with the scanner.
1.2 Identify your scanner model
This User’s Guide covers 2 scanner models, although there are individual differences between the
models.
The 2 model labels: FLEX50i, HD4230i will head topics and functionality descriptions.
Topics/descriptions can be specific for only one of the models. These will be headed by one of the labels.
Other topics/descriptions are general for both models. These will be headed by both labels.
Identify your scanner model and then look for its label in this guide.
