The following steps are for digitizing books using the CZUR Aura Scanner (hereafter referred to as scanner).
1. The mat needs to touch the base of the scanner. If there is a gap between the base and the scanner, the images do not scan properly.
2. At the base of the scanner, locate the 3 icons.
- Left power icon: Indicates the power is off.
- Middle lightbulb icon: Indicates only the lamp is on.
- Right camera icon: Indicates the scanner and camera are on.
3. On the right side of the base, locate the round knob.
4. To turn the scanner on, long press (hold down for 1–1.5 seconds) the round knob. Do not turn the knob.
Note: At the base of the scanner, the middle lightbulb icon is illuminated.
5. To turn on the scanner light, short press (quickly press and release) the round knob.
Note: The scanner light is illuminated.
6. To open the scanner software, on the computer, click the CZUR icon.
Note: Before the software can be opened, the scanner must be turned on.
7. To open the scan page, on the bottom right, click the arrow.
8. Select the color mode.
9. Select the processing mode.
- Flat Single Page: Scans a single image inside the orange rectangle.
- Flat Facing Pages: Scans 2 images of left and right pages. Line up the orange dotted line in the fold of the book. Each page is scanned separately.
- Manual Selection: Manually draw the orange rectangle around the portion of the book you want to scan. The selected portion becomes a full-page scan.
- No Selection: Scans the book and the mat area. No orange rectangle appears.
10. Insert a flash drive into the computer.
11. In the left column, click the first folder with the Settings icon.
12. To automatically save images to the flash drive, select the appropriate location of the flash drive.
Note: Before scanning, make sure only the book is on the mat. Do not put pencils, sticky notes, or any other objects on the mat while scanning. If other objects are present, the images do not scan properly.
13. To scan, position the book on the scanner.
14. In the bottom-right corner, click the icon or gently tap the foot pedal.
15. If you use the Auto Scan option, do the following:
- Turn the option on by clicking Auto Scan.
- Position your 2-page scan and click Scan. The scan appears on the left side of the screen.
- Turn the page. The next scan occurs automatically.
- To stop the scanner from scanning, turn the Auto Scan option off when you are finished scanning.
Note: To reduce the glare on glossy pages or photos, on the back of the scanner, gently hold your hand over the blue light. The top light turns off and the side lights turn on.
16. When you have finished scanning, and before closing the CZUR program, confirm the images were saved to your flash drive.
Note: If the scanned images were saved to a different folder than your flash drive, drag and drop the images onto your flash drive.
