Initial Calibration with DocketSCAN II® …………………
NOTE: Calibration is a critical step in setting up your scanner. It allows the image quality to
be “balanced” for your computer and scanner combination. If at any time you switch the
computer that you use with your scanner, or change scanners, you will be required to calibrate
again.
®
To launch the DocketSCAN II application you can either double-click the DocketSCAN II
icon in your system tray or shortcut icon on your desktop or the “Taskbar tray” icon
(usually in the lower right-hand corner of the Windows desktop).
Once you have launched DocketSCAN II® for the first time, you should select the SCAN
button and the step-by-step calibration instructions will appear in a succession of prompts.
This calibration process will require the special black and white calibration sheet that was
included with your scanner. When calibrating make sure the page with the black bars are
facing down and note the direction of the arrows for proper insertion. When the
calibration process has been completed successfully, you will see the message above
otherwise you would need to re-calibrate again.
If you switch scanners or your image quality has become unsatisfactory, you can
re-calibrate your scanner by choosing the CUSTOM button in the DocketSCAN II® window
and select the Calibrate button.
Should you lose or forget the black and white calibration paper that was included with your
scanner, you can simply use any plain “white” (the brighter the “white” the better) piece of
letter size (or A4) printer paper to perform the calibration. Simply fold the paper in half
and insert the folded end into the scanner first when calibrating.
The following message will be displayed (see below).

Using your Scanner …………………
There are two easy ways for you to scan and manage your documents and images with your
DocketSCAN II®. When scanning documents make sure the front image side to be
captured is inserted faced down.
The first is by utilizing the document manager control panel (shown below) that allows you
to select from the most common paper sizes, image settings and basic file output
information (location & name of your document). You can save your scans as PDF, JPG,
or TIFF format files.
The second way is through the TWAIN control panel, which you can find by pressing the
“Custom…” button on the DocketSCAN II® control panel. The TWAIN control panel
(shown below) allows you to control all details and settings of the scanner. This type of
“fine-adjustment” of your scans may be required for some of your document needs.
-7-
Please notice the page tabs at the top of the TWAIN control panel; they are: Pre-defined
Setting, Custom Settings, Information, and Language. Take a moment to explore these
Tabs and their function. The Information tab provides important information regarding the
software driver version. This may be required if you want to know if the software you are
using is the latest version. The Language tab allows you to switch the text of the TWAIN
control panel to another language.
The Pre-defined Setting Tab allows you to quickly choose the most frequent and common
scan setting. These are designed for your convenience. The settings are viewed once you
click “Acquire” and can be easily launched by selecting their respective user interface.
The Custom Settings control panel allows you to change the settings to the detailed specification that
you feel are required. You can adjust the Mode, Resolution, Filter (None or De-screen) together with
scanning size. In addition, you can also adjust the Brightness, Contrast, Color (Gamma), Highlight
and Shadow of the image with the 5 slide-bar controls. In case you forget the original settings of
these slide-bar controls, you can press the RESET button, which restores these settings to the scanner
default settings. Once your settings are defined, select either “Preview” button to take a quick look
at how your image will look in the scanning window or you can press “SCAN” button to perform final
scanning.
Using DocketPORT® 468 scanner with other applications
DocketPORT® 468 scanner is fully TWAIN compliant, you can use it with literally thousands of
applications that use standard TWAIN device input. From desktop publishing to games, and from
faxing to business card scanning, you will discover many useful applications for this scanner. Simply
select the scanner source from your program’s “source” options and look for DocketPORT® 468.
Sometimes these “source” scanner options may be found under TWAIN devices available or “import
from”.

Initial Setup with Presto! PageManager 7 …………………
NOTE: Calibration is a critical step in setting up your scanner. This process will balance the image quality between
your computer and the scanner unit. If at any time you switch the scanner to another computer then you will need
to reinstall the scanner driver and recalibrate the scanner.
Selecting Scanning Source
a) When using Presto! PageManager 7 for the first time you will need to define the Scanning Source
this application will be using. This also applies when switching to another scanner.
b) Run the PageManger7 application and select file in the toolbar menu.
c) Under file pull-down menu choose the Select Source option, then your model.
Performing Scanner Calibration under TWAIN
a) Tools  Scan Settings  uncheck Suppress TWAIN User Interface
b) To calibrate your scanner select the Acquire Image Data icon (scanner and camera icon) under the
toolbar menu.
a) The TWAIN user interface screen will appear.
b) Insert the calibration target with the printed arrow end first.
c) Make sure the black bar side is inserted facing down then select the Calibration button.
NOTE: When the image quality has become unsatisfactory, we recommend you clean the scanner with the included cleaning
sheet(see Tips & Cautions page) and then recalibrate the scanner.
If you lose or forget the calibration target when traveling, use any plain “white” piece of printer paper to perform the
calibration. The following message will appear (see below). Select “OK” and proceed to scanning.

Tips & Cautions …………………
Your DocketPORT® 468 scanner will provide you a long and productive service. We
encourage you follow the suggestions listed below to prolong your investment and improve
the convenience and quality of your scanning and document management experience.
DO NOT introduce stapled items or pages into the scanner.
DO NOT scan documents that have chipped or un-dried White-Out.
DO NOT insert any type of adhesive material, even POST-IT paper.


Make sure the leading edge of your documents are straight and not wrinkled or folded.
Insert document at level to the intake slot. If your document has a fold, sharp-bend or is
wrinkled, you will need to straighten or flatten it first before scanning.

Clean the scanner with the included cleaning sheet and 70% isopropyl alcohol (not
included). Place a few drops along the middle of the cleaning material and proceed to the
Calibrate menu, select CLEAN instead.
Your scanner will automatically pass the cleaning material back and forth over the internal
image sensor glass.
