Colortrac SmartLF Cx 40 Installation and Operating Manual

12. CONNECTING THE USB2 CABLE TO SMARTLF

With SmartLF Cx switched on, locate the included USB2 cable and plug the

smaller square end into the back of the scanner (see picture).

IMPORTANT: IF YOU ARE USING OTHER USB1.1 KEYS (DONGLES) ON THE SAME

COMPUTER ENSURE THAT SMARTLF CX DOES NOT SHARE THE SAME USB CIRCUITRY

INSIDE THE COMPUTER OR SCANNING SPEEDS WILL BE REDUCED.

DO NOT CONNECT SMARTLF CX TO THE PC YET!

13. PREPARING TO LOAD THE DRIVER

PLUG THE REMAINING END (FLAT SECTION)

OF THE USB2 CABLE INTO A SPARE USB2

INTERFACE ON THE COMPUTER- THE

DRIVER INSTALLATION WILL START

AUTOMATICALLY.

NOTE: At this point Windows XP will detect the new hardware and display the

following message in the System Tray area (normally the lower right-hand side

of the screen).

AT THIS POINT WINDOWS SHOULD DETECT SMARTLF CX AND AUTOMATICALLY BEGIN RUNNING

THE WINDOWS HARDWARE WIZARD. HAVE THE COLORTRAC SMARTLF CX SOFTWARE

INSTALLATION CD READY.

WINDOWS ASKS FOR THE DRIVER – INSERT THE CD NOW!

WAIT for a few moments to allow Windows to

start the Hardware Wizard. The wizard will take

you through the next steps of the installation.

The wizard will respond by displaying this

screen.

NOTE: If the CD is not detected in the next step you will need to tell the Wizard

to search for the drivers automatically by clicking the first button or direct the

search manually by clicking the second button.

WINDOWS LOCATES AND TRANSFERS THE DRIVER FROM CD

At this point insert the SmartLF Cx CD containing the

driver. After one or two seconds Windows will detect

the CD and replace the wizard Welcome screen

(STEP2) with the ‘wizard searching’ screen shown

here.

IF THE SMARTLF CX CD STARTS THE CD MENU,

PRESS EXIT AND ALLOW THE HARDWARE WIZARD

TO CONTINUE INSTALLING THE DRIVER

NOTE: In case of difficulty select ‘I will install the driver myself’ and use ‘Have disk’ to

manually direct Windows to the driver
