9. CLOSING THE LID OF SMARTLF CX

To close the lid of the SmartLF Cx, first check that there are no obstructions. Support the lid at the centre with the right

hand and using the left hand release the prop. DO NOT LET GO OF THE LID FROM THE RAISED POSITION AS

THE SCANNER MAY BE SEVERELY DAMAGED. Carefully lower the scanner lid from the centre until both catches

engage with their locks. It is not necessary to use extra pressure on the lid once the catches have engaged.

OPEN LOWERING CLOSED

The lid may need to be lifted slightly before releasing the prop.

WARNING: KEEP FINGERS CLEAR OF THE SIDES OF THE SCANNER LID AT ALL TIMES

10. GETTING STARTED

SmartLF Cx can now be switched on. The liquid crystal text display (LCD) will light

up and after a few seconds will display the word ‘ Initialising’. After about 35

seconds or so the model number and firmware level of the scanner will be

displayed.

If a document is loaded the display will change to the word ‘READY’

Start up Windows XP Professional / XP Home OR Windows 2000 on the connected

computer that will be used with SmartLF Cx. Wait for Windows to finish loading.

FOR MORE DETAIL ON MINIMUM SPECIFICATIONS FOR BEST SMARTLF CX PERFORMANCE SEE APPENDIX 1.

11. THE WINDOWS .NET (MSDN) FRAMEWORK ENVIRONMENT

The Colortrac SmartLF Cx software application has been created using Microsoft

.NET in accordance with current Microsoft development practice. This means the

connected computer running Microsoft Windows XP Home or XP Professional

should be upgraded if required by installing .NET Version 2.0. Microsoft Vista comes

pre-loaded with .NET 3.0. (V2.0 is sufficient).

http://msdn2.microsoft.com

Although SmartLF Cx will work with Windows 2000 it is highly recommended that Windows XP with the latest Service

Pack (SP) upgrade or Microsoft Vista is used with the SmartLF Cx scanner. Colortrac advise that the .NET

Framework be installed even if only using ScanWorks or CopySmart software options. SmartLF multi-function

software is simple to use and can be run on any computer connected to the SmartLF Cx scanner without a license

key.

NOTE:

The belief is that in time .NET will become part of Windows XP or be included inside the regular Service Pack. See Appendix 3 in this

document for more information on .NET Framework and how to check if it is installed on the computer you intend to use with SmartLF Cx.
