Important Notices¶

For your safety, and to ensure proper operating of your 3Disc™ IOS system, please take the time to read these important notices:

Make sure you use the 5.0V 4A power adapter provided. Failure to do so may result in damage to the scanning device.

Using a USB cable other than the one provided may result in system malfunction or reduced performance.

Make sure to use a USB port that is compatible with USB 3.0 (SuperSpeed), usually indicated by the symbol below: not doing so may result in system malfunction or reduced performance.

When using a desktop computer, it is strongly recommended to plug the USB cable to a USB port located at the back of the computer; not doing so may result in system malfunction or reduced performance.

DO NOT plug the USB cable into an intermediate hub.

If using a laptop computer, make sure the power supply is connected to a power outlet and not running on battery power. Failure to do so will mean that the scanner will not have sufficient power to produce images.
