How to Use This Guide

This User’s Guide provides instructions and illustrations on how to install and operate your scanner. This guide assumes the user is familiar with Microsoft Windows XP, 98, Me and 2000 Professional. If this is not the case, we suggest you learn more about Microsoft Windows by referring to your Microsoft Windows manual before using your scanner.

The Introduction section of this manual describes the box contents and minimum computer requirements to use this scanner. Before you start installing your scanner, check the box contents to make sure all parts are included. If any items are damaged or missing, please contact the vendor where you purchased your scanner or our customer service directly.

Chapter I describes how to install scanner’s software and connect the scanner to your computer. Note: The scanner connects to your computer through the Universal Serial Bus (USB).
