Your scanner comes with the following software:

Scanner driver and button management software (AmbirScan ADF),

OCR software (ABBYY FineReader 9.0),

Document management software (NewSoft Presto! PageManager).

These software applications use approximately 400 megabytes of hard disk
space after they are installed into your computer. To ensure ample room for
the installation, as well as for scanning and saving images, a minimum of one
(1) GB of hard disk space is recommended.
This USB scanner only works with Microsoft Windows 7/Vista/ XP/2000
operating systems.
