ScanGear CS-U 5.7 Features ScanGear CS-U 5.7 (hereafter referred to as "ScanGear CS-U") is a 32-bit TWAIN-compliant scanner driver for the Canon CanoScan N650U/N656U scanners and Canon CanoScan N1220U scanner. When this driver is selected from within a TWAIN-compliant software application program, one of these scanners can be used to scan image data. 2. What You Need Required Hardware o CanoScan N650U/N656U Scanners, and CanoScan N1220U Scanner. o USB port, Universal Serial Bus Specification Version 1.1 compliant o Pentium CPU or higher IBM or IBM compatible PC. (For Windows 2000 Professional, Pentium 133MHz or higher recommended.) o 32 MB RAM (64 MB more recommended) o Free disk space, at least 50 MB. The amount of space required depends on the scanning area and the Color Mode or Resolution setting. (Color images scanned at higher resolution require more storage space.) o Minimum requirement for monitor: 800 x 600 resolution, 256color (higher resolution with HighColor recommended) Required Software o Microsoft Windows 98, or 2000 Professional o TWAIN-compliant application software 3. A General Tip on Usage o Run only one application at a time which uses ScanGear CS-U ; do not open more than one application that uses the ScanGear CS-U scanner driver. Also, do not open ScanGear CS-U more than once to acquire an image in the same application. o If you scan a very large image at high resolution, some applications may determine that there is not enough disk space to scan and save the image and return an error.

o In Windows 2000 when the system file is in NTFS format, occasionally the TWAIN data source may not open correctly. For security reasons, the TWAIN module cannot be written to the winnt directory. For details, contact your system administrator. o Depending on the application (e.g., Wang Imaging), the TWAIN user interface may be hidden. If this is the case, find out how you can make it appear from the application manual, and make the appropriate setting changes. o Always close the ScanGear CS-U main window before you exit the parent application program. o For Windows 2000, it is required that the system administrator install or uninstall ScanGear CS-U. o Certain personal computers (including laptops) may not restart correctly from standby mode when the scanner is attached. If this occurs, please reboot the computer. 4. Running ScanGear CS-U with Specific Applications o If more than one scanner exists on the system when using Caere PageKeeper or Caere OmniPage Pro, set the scanner being used as the default scanner in the Caere Scan Manager in the Control Panel. ---------------------------------------------------------------NOTHING FOLLOWS ----------------------------------------------------------------
