Precautions for Use in 64-bit Operating Systems

•The ISIS/TWAIN driver supplied with this product supports scanning with 32-bit applications only.

•Even with 32-bit applications, not all ISIS/TWAIN compliant applications are guaranteed to operate.

•Scanning speed may vary depending on the specifications of your computer.

IMPORTANT

•If you use the USB interface that was provided as standard with your computer:

•Use the most recently available USB 2.0 driver provided by Microsoft. Contact your local authorized Canon dealer for more detailed information.

•Not all USB interfaces provided as standard with personal computers are guaranteed. Contact your local authorized Canon dealer for more detailed information.

•Scanning speeds are slower if your computer’s standard USB interface is USB 1.1.

•You should use the USB cable originally bundled with the scanner or a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 compatible cable.

•If the CPU, memory, interface card, and other specifications do not satisfy the installation requirements, the scanning speed may be greatly reduced and transmission may take longer.

•Even if the computer satisfies the recommended specifications, the scanning speed may vary, depending on the scan settings.
