Setting up the names of shared drives

If your scanner is connected to a different computer than the ones on which the ColorQuartet

interface is running, all the computers must have access to one or more shared network disks for

storing previews and scans.

In PC installations, different PCs may use different drive letters for the same network disk. On

cross-platform installations, Macintoshes and PCs use different naming conventions to refer to

the same, shared disks. If all the computers in your network are PCs and if they all use the same

letters for the network disks they share, there is no problem. Otherwise, map the different drive

names to each other as explained below.

1 • On the PC running CQscan, find and open the VOLUMES.TXT file.

2 • Type in each set of names or letters that refers to the same disk, using the following model:

local_drive;remote_drive; (remember to put a semi-colon after each name).

3 • When you are finished editing VOLUMES.TXT, save and close the file. Your changes will take

effect immediately.

Example 1: “VOLUMES.TXT” for a PC installation

CQscan is running on a PC that calls a particular server drive or volume E:. ColorQuartet is run-

ning on a different PC, which calls the same drive or volume K:. The following line should there-

fore be added to the VOLUMES.TXT file:

E;K;

This file is created automatically when you install ColorQuartet. It is

located in the same folder or directory as CQscan.

• “local_drive” means the name used by the CQscan/CQtiff (scanner)com-

puter for the network disk.

• “remote_drive” means the name used by the ColorQuartet interface com-

puter for that same disk.

• The VOLUMES.TXT file may contain more than one line. For example:

N;Images;

sys;F;
