Preparing the computer (scanner mode)

In addition to the accessories provided in the product package, the following are required to use the scanner in scanner mode.

Hardware requirements

CPU: Intel Celeron 733MHz or better

Main memory: minimum of 256MB

Hard disc space: minimum of 400MB

• If you are not sure about the system requirements, contact an authorized Canon dealer or your com- puter manufacturer' s support center.

If your CPU, memory or SCSI board does not meet the recommended specifications, you may experi- ence problems such as slow scanning or a slow data transfer rate.

Even if your computer meets the above require- ments, slow scanning may occur depending on the scanner settings.

When using a SCSI card:

Microsoft Windows 98SE
