How to Use this Guide

This guide explains how to use the Canon Plug-in Module CS-U 3.3 (herein referred to as Plug-in Module CS-U) with application programs supporting CanoScan FB630U/FB636U, such as Canon Photo.

A plug-in is used within a compatible application program like Canon Photo to expand its functionality and cannot be used as a stand-alone application. By only installing the Plug-in Module CS-U from the Canon Creative Image CD-ROM, Plug-in Module CS-U can be simply plugged into the parent program and add the ability to scan.

Before using Plug-in Module CS-U, we strongly recommend reading this guide and keeping this CD-ROM in a safe place for later reference.
