Epson GT-5500 manual Sizing Up Your System, RAM and hard disk size

Page 31

When you are finished scanning, reattach the document cover by pushing straight down on the back of it until it clicks into place.

cCaution:

Make sure that both of the cover’s notches are directly above the clips on the scanner before pushing the cover down into place; otherwise you may damage the cover.

Sizing Up Your System

Your scanner is sufficient for most scanning needs, but if you are not satisified with the quality of the images on your monitor or with the speed of image processing, read this section. While it does not contain specific recommendations, it describes various possibilities for improving your scanning system. For further information, see your dealer or an experienced scanner user.

RAM and hard disk size

Scanned images use much more memory than text files, so you may need more RAM (Random Access Memory) in your computer and a larger hard disk than you have used previously.
