Computer operations are not guaranteed for all standard equipped computer USB interfaces. If the computer’s standard USB interface does not operate normally, then use a recommended Hi-Speed USB 2.0 interface card.

The USB cable you use should be the one 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 a long time.

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

Make sure that the device driver and application software that you will be using are compatible with your PC, the system configuration, and the type of interface card that you are using.
