2. Setup
Before using your MUNBYN Portable Scanner, please follow these steps to ensure proper setup:
2.1. Battery Installation
The scanner requires two (2) AA batteries for operation. These are not included and must be purchased separately.
- Locate the battery compartment on the scanner.
- Open the battery compartment cover.
- Insert two AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.
- Close the battery compartment cover securely.

2.2. SD Card Insertion
Your scanner comes with a 16GB SD card pre-installed or included. This card is essential for storing your scanned images.
- Locate the SD card slot on the side of the scanner.
- If not already inserted, gently push the 16GB SD card into the slot until it clicks into place. Ensure the card is oriented correctly.
- To remove the SD card, gently push it inwards again until it springs out.

2.3. Powering On
Press and hold the Power/Scan button for a few seconds until the display screen illuminates. The scanner is now ready for use.
3. Operating Instructions
The MUNBYN Portable Scanner is designed for intuitive handheld scanning. Follow these guidelines for optimal results.
3.1. Scanning Documents and Photos
- Ensure the document or photo you wish to scan is placed on a flat, stable surface. The scanner cannot accurately capture images from concave or convex areas, such as the binding of a book.
- Hold the scanner firmly with both hands.
- Position the scanner at the top edge of the document, ensuring the scanning window is aligned with the content.
- Press the Power/Scan button once to begin scanning. The "scan" indicator light should illuminate.
- Slowly and steadily glide the scanner downwards across the document. Maintain a consistent speed and pressure. If you move too quickly, the "error" light may illuminate, indicating an incomplete scan.
- Move to the next new scanning area within 3 seconds if scanning multiple sections of a large document. The scanner will automatically finish the job if no movement is detected.
- Press the Power/Scan button again to stop scanning.


3.2. Adjusting Scan Settings (DPI/Format)
The scanner allows you to adjust the DPI (dots per inch) resolution and file format (JPG/PDF).
- Press the DPI button to cycle through available resolutions (e.g., 300 DPI, 600 DPI, 900 DPI). Higher DPI settings result in clearer images but larger file sizes.
- Press the JPG/PDF button to switch between JPEG (image) and PDF (document) file formats.
3.3. Transferring Scanned Files to Computer
The scanner does not require a driver for file transfer. Simply connect it to your computer using the provided USB cable.
- Ensure the scanner is powered on.
- Connect one end of the USB cable to the scanner's USB port and the other end to an available USB port on your computer.
- Your computer will recognize the scanner as a removable storage device (similar to a USB drive or camera).
- Navigate to the scanner's storage (typically labeled as a removable disk) to access your scanned files. Files are usually named sequentially (e.g., IMG0001.JPG, DOC0002.PDF).
- Copy and paste or drag and drop the files to your desired location on your computer.

3.4. Using OCR Software (Optional)
For converting scanned PDF files into editable Word or Excel formats, you can use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software. This software is not included with the scanner but can be found on various app stores (e.g., Google Play Store) or online.
Search for "OCR software" and choose a reputable application that suits your needs.

- Power off the scanner before cleaning.
- Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaning solution.
- Gently wipe the exterior of the scanner.
- For the scanning window and rollers, use a dry, soft cloth or a specialized lens cleaning cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.

4.2. Battery Care

- If the scanner will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and damage.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your MUNBYN Portable Scanner, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
