| Question | What to do |
|---|---|
| Log in? | When you are not logged in, the login screen appears. Enter your Email address and Password and click Log in, or press Enter. See Logging in. |
| Choose where my scans are saved? | On the Quick Scan tab, the Location field shows the save folder. Click Browse to choose another, or Open to open it. The Project tab uses the same folder. |
| Make a quick foot scan? | On the Quick Scan tab, type a Reference if you want, then click Scan left or Scan right. A countdown runs and the scan and photo are saved to your folder. |
| Scan an order and upload it to the cloud? | On the Cloud tab, type a Reference, capture or browse a scan and photo for each foot, fill in the prescription form if needed, then click Upload. |
| Save an order as a local file instead of uploading? | Use the Project tab. It works like Cloud, but Save bundles the left and right scans and photos into one file in your folder. |
| Use an existing scan or photo instead of scanning again? | On the Cloud or Project tab, click Browse next to a foot to pick an existing scan, or Browse under 2D Scan to pick an existing photo. |
| Change the scanner model or sensitivity? | On the Settings tab, 3D Scan section, pick your Scan model and a Sensitivity, then click Save. |
| Set up the photo (2D) scanner? | On the Settings tab, 2D Scan section, choose your default scanner, a Mode, and set Flip if the feet come out upside down. Click Save. |
| Place elements on a scan photo? | When a scan is made with a photo, the preview with elements opens. Drag an element onto the photo, resize it by a corner, rotate it with the Rotate slider, then click Save. See Cloud. |
| Fill in the prescription form? | On the Cloud tab, click Form. Fill it in and submit. Your answers travel with the next Upload. |
| Scan a document? | On the Cloud tab, use the Document row: Scan to scan one, or Browse to pick an image. It is sent with the order. |
| Check a scan before I use it? | Every scan and photo has an eye button. Click it to open the preview. You can rotate and zoom a 3D scan. |
| Log out? | Open the Account menu at the top right and click Logout. |
