Remember that the scanner is turning and the mirror unit is rotating with high
speed. Ensure that the scanner can move freely and that no objects can touch
the mirror unit.
Start the scan by tapping on the Start Scan button on the Home screen of the
controller software
If there is not enough space on the SD card, you will be warned and the
scanner will refuse to scan. In this case, please remove scan data from the
memory card or insert a new card and try again.
When the scan process starts, the laser of the scanner will be switched ON
and the scanning view will be displayed. The scanner's LEDs blink red as long
as the laser of the scanner is switched ON. During scanning, the scanner
rotates clockwise by 180°. If you are scanning with color, the scanner will
continue to turn to 360° to take the pictures. The executed processing steps
are displayed in the status bar of the scanning screen, the scan progress is
indicated by the progress bar.
