INSTALLING YOUR SCANNER
1. Install your scanner driver
Your scanner is provided with scanner drivers that must be installed
on your computer.
To install your scanner, you must first insert your scanner driver
installation CD-ROM into your computer CD-ROM drive and run
the installation.
Once your scanner is installed, it is recommended to make a few
scanning tests with a standard scanning application.
Note:
If your scanner is equipped with a Twain driver, note that version 1.9 or
higher is highly recommended. See About IRISPowerscan, Supported
scanners.
2. Plug in your hardware key
Do not forget to plug the hardware key provided with your software
package. This key determines the maximum scanning speed (in
number of images per minute) of IRISPowerscan.
Insert the key into the parallel or USB port of your PC.
