A1500 Drivers CD includes the following software:

Printer Driver

The printer driver tells the computer what kind of a printer you are using and controls the various settings, such as print quality and paper type. You define these settings within the printer driver, which then communicates the settings to both the computer and the printer.

Media Browser

Use Media Browser to manage your images. Create image albums, enhance your images, and post your albums to the internet.

ReadIRIS (OCR)

With ReadIRIS, you can scan documents and convert them to text. Load the text files into your favorite word processor for editing.

•486 processor (recommend Pentium 100 or better for optimum performance).
