power connections. See Connecting ATOM to the host (on page 5) for details.

The Access-IS Document Reader opens.
3.3 ATOM status indicators
Four clearly-visible indicators on each side of the device allow you to check the status of ATOM.

Icon Description
Good read indicator.
Bad read indicator.
ATOM is busy reading a document, or the detected
document is not stable.
ATOM is switched on and has power.
Communication with the document reader software's
Application Programming Interface (API) is established
and ATOM can read a document.
If all of these indicators are illuminated, ATOM is switched on, but there is no communication
between ATOM and the document reader software's API.
When ADRS is started, only the blue power icon illuminates; ATOM is in standby mode waiting to
read a document. ATOM is not ready to scan a document if the blue power icon is not illuminated.
