Scanner Setup
System Requirements
R
Minimum and recommended system requirements are:
R
IBM compatible PC with a 486 or Pentium Processor
R
Microsoft Windows 3.1 or 3.11, Windows 95/98 or NT
(Windows 95/98 or NT recommended)
R
16 Megabytes of RAM (32 Megabytes or higher recommended)
R
EPP, ECP, or SPP parallel port (EPP recommended)
R
VGA, SVGA color monitor and video card supporting at least 256 colors
(24-bit True Color recommended)
R
25 Megabytes of available hard disk space for scanner driver installation,
additional space is required for the scanning applications.*
R
A Microsoft Windows-compatible pointing device (such as a mouse)
R
A CD-ROM drive
Recommended: A surge-protected power strip or power center
*Available disk space needed for installation varies with which software applications are installed.
25Mb is the minimum required for the scanner driver only. The scanner driver and scanning applica-
tion software may take up to 100Mb.
Additional available hard disk space is recommended and may be required for scanning purposes,
requirements vary with the work performed. Work refers to the task or operation performed using
the scanner in conjunction with application software. Factors that will influence the amount of
available hard disk space required include resolution, scanning mode, and scanning area.
Because scanners are capable of inputting large amounts of data in relatively short periods of time,
they commonly push computer systems to the limits of their capabilities. Before beginning any
scanning task or operation, carefully consider your system processing capabilities, especially proces-
sor speed, RAM, and available hard disk space. The processing of simple black & white graphics is
the least demanding. High resolution scanning of large images in full color creates an extreme
demand for processor time and memory.
For specific information on how to set image controls while scanning, refer to the Scanner Operation
section of this User’s Guide.
