•Do not connect both a USB interface and a SCSI card at the same time.

•Note the following points when using the USB interface that was provided with your computer.

–The USB connection should be a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 interface.

–Scanning speeds are lower if your computer’s standard USB interface is USB Full-Speed (equal to USB 1.1).

–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.

–Use the USB cable that was originally bundled with the scanner or a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 compatible cable.

•Note the following when using a SCSI card.

–Make sure to follow the procedure in the manual for the SCSI card and the computer that you are using when installing a SCSI card in your computer.

–The overall length of the SCSI cable you can use is determined by the SCSI standards. Refer to the manual for the SCSI card you are using for more information.

•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.

•The ISIS/TWAIN Drivers provided with the scanner do not necessarily operate on all ISIS- or TWAIN-compatible applications. For details, contact your application software retailer.
