2. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the software on your computer.
3. Once installed, launch JMStudio.

3.3. Software Language Setting

To change the software language to English or another preferred language:

1. In the JMStudio software, navigate to the 'File' menu.
2. Select 'Setting'.
3. In the settings window, click on the 'Language' tab.
4. Choose your desired language (e.g., 'English').
5. Click 'Apply' to save the changes.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Scanning Modes

The 3DMakerpro Moose scanner supports two primary scanning modes:

• Handheld Scan: Suitable for objects ranging from 15mm to 1500mm. This mode offers flexibility for larger or irregularly shaped items.
• Turntable Scan: Ideal for objects between 15mm and 300mm. This mode provides automated rotation for consistent and detailed scans of smaller items.

4.2. Basic Scanning Procedure

1. Prepare the Object: Place the object to be scanned on a stable surface or the turntable. Ensure adequate lighting.
2. Launch JMStudio: Open the JMStudio software on your computer.
3. Select Scanning Mode: Choose either 'Easy Scan' (for handheld) or 'Table Scan' (for turntable) within the software.
4. Start Scan: Follow the on-screen prompts to initiate the scan. For handheld mode, move the scanner smoothly around the object. For turntable mode, the turntable will rotate automatically.
5. Monitor Progress: Observe the real-time 3D model reconstruction on your computer screen. The software will guide you if adjustments are needed.
6. Complete Scan: Once the desired data is captured, stop the scan in the software.
7. Process Data: Use the software's processing tools to align, merge, and optimize the point cloud data into a complete 3D model.
8. Export Model: Export the final 3D model in your preferred format (OBJ, STL, PLY, ASC).

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your 3DMakerpro Moose 3D Scanner, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the scanner's lenses and body with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or chemical cleaners that could damage the surfaces.
• Storage: Store the scanner in a dry, dust-free environment when not in use. Use the provided carrying case or a protective cover to prevent dust accumulation and accidental damage.
• Temperature and Humidity: Operate and store the scanner within recommended temperature and humidity ranges to prevent damage to electronic components.
• Cable Care: Handle cables carefully. Avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling that could damage the connectors or internal wiring.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your 3DMakerpro Moose 3D Scanner, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Scanner Not Detected: Ensure all cables are securely connected. Try a different USB port on your computer. Restart both the scanner and your computer. Verify that the JMStudio software is up to date.
• Poor Scan Quality: Check the object's surface for highly reflective or transparent areas, which can be difficult to scan. Apply a matte scanning spray if necessary. Ensure stable lighting conditions and minimize vibrations during scanning. Adjust scanning distance as per recommendations.
• Software Issues: If the software crashes or behaves unexpectedly, try restarting it. Ensure your computer meets the minimum system requirements. Reinstalling the software may resolve persistent issues.
• Incomplete Scans: For complex objects, try scanning from multiple angles and then merging the data in JMStudio. Utilize the 'Rescanning' function if a scan is interrupted.
• Language Setting Reverts: Ensure you click 'Apply' after selecting your preferred language in the software settings.

If problems persist after attempting these steps, please contact customer support for further assistance.
