4) How do I export my contacts to Act!?

* Go to File > Import / Export and select Sage Act on the Export tab.
* Click on configure to opt to include/exclude card images
* Click on export
5) When I scan multiple cards, the image appears and acts like one image
If you are using a flatbed to scan business cards into Cardiris, they might all appear in one image only after you scan them. This is by design.
You should then click Process > Extract Cards. Cardiris will then extract the individual images from the larger image.
The background can be white or black if Cardiris is to extract the various business cards!
The segmentation of images with a white background only works when there is enough empty space between the business cards: the distance between two cards should be at least 1” (2.5 cm.)!
Tip: scan the cards with the lid of your flatbed scanner open. That creates a black background for you! Works best for light colored cards
Tip: scan the cards with the lid of your flatbed scanner closed. That creates a white background for you. Works best for dark colored cards.

7) How do I calibrate the IRISCard 4 scanner?
IRISCard 4 Calibration
Right click on the IRISCard button manager that is in the notification area on the right side of the task bar and choose calibrate. If you no longer have the calibration sheet you can use any white paper cut to 4" X 4" or even a #10 envelope to perform the calibration.
If the calibration does not help to solve the problem then delete the ppa620.cal file found in this location.
Windows XP
C:\Documents and Settings\your- username\Application Data\Kscan\ppa620.cal
If this folder is not visible go to Tools > Folder Options > View. Look for a radio button for Show hidden files and folders. Click on that to mark it and click OK and retry.
Vista/Windows 7
C:\Users\Your Username\AppData\Roaming\Kscan\ppa620.cal
8) How do I export to Microsoft Outlook?

Click on the configure button on the lower left and select the outlook contact folder to send the cards. You can also choose whether to include the card images or not. Click on Export and it should send the information to Outlook.
If the export is not successful disable the User Access Control to unblock the driver using these steps.

9) How do I scan cards with a flatbed scanner?
1. Install latest drivers of your scanner
2. Plug your scanner and switch it on
3. Go to Settings > Scanner > Select among the available choice or click on Other.
Pick the Scanner Source then the scanner model and configure as pictured making sure the format is set to letter.
You can place up to 10 cards on the glass of the scanner. You want there to be a gap around all edges of the card keeping it away from the edge of the scanner bezel. You also want a dark background so the software can separate the individual card images from the larger image. A black or dark sheet of paper placed behind the cards works best.
You could also leave the lid to the scanner open but on some scanners you risk light leaking in on an edge of the image creating a very subtle white line making it impossible for the software to extract the individual card images.
For very dark cards you would do the opposite and just close the lid to the scanner to create a white background. It is useful then to separate the cards into dark and light for this kind of processing.
Once loaded or scanned into the program Go to Process > Extract images to separate the individual images from the larger image.
10) How do I import my Cardiris for Windows database to the Cardiris for Mac?
Open Cardiris for Windows. Go to File > Import, Export, Syncrhonize and select the Export tab. Select the vCard format (.vcf). Tick 'Export all cards'. Click [Configure] and tick 'Include card images in export'. Click [Export]. This will create one .vcf file containing all your cards.
Then, copy this file to your Mac. Double click the file. The Address Book will open and ask you whether you want to import the data. Click [Import]. The data imported into the Address Book will be visible by Cardiris.
