How to Use this Guide

This guide explains the operating procedures for Canon Plug-in Module CS-U (hereafter referred to as Plug-in Module CS-U), the Macintosh driver (plug-in software) used with Canon image scanners.

Aplug-in is not an independent software program; it must be used within a plug-in compliant application, such as CanoScan Toolbox or Adobe Photoshop LE, to expand the capabilities of that program. Adding scanning capabilities to your computer is as easy as putting in a plug. Simply copy the Plug-in Module CS-U files to your computer.

Please read this guide to perform the installation procedures and scan. Store this manual in a handy location for future reference.
