DataLink Connect can be installed on computers with:

• Windows computers: A PC running Windows 2000 or newer.

• Macintosh computers: A Macintosh running OSX 10.4 or newer.

• A USB cable or serial cable input.

Insert the CD in your CD drive and select “Install DataLink Connect” from the

list of options when the install window appears. DataLink Connect requires the

Microsoft.net runtime libraries; if these are not installed on your computer they will

be installed during setup.

The minimum scanner firmware version required is 1.0. The most current firmware

release and USB drivers can also be found on our support page at

www.apperson.com

Next Steps:

1. Plug the supplied power cable into your scanner and into a power source.

The display should read “Ready (offline) Test Scoring.”

2. Calibrate the scanner by placing the calibration sheet face up in the scanner

and pushing the “scan/pause” button. Once the calibration sheet has been

properly scanned, the display should read “calibrated”. Press the reset

button and proceed to the next step.

3. To allow your scanner to communicate with your computer, connect the USB

cable from your scanner to your computer.

4. Launch DataLink Connect and begin scanning. For instructions on how to

use DataLink Connect go to page 5, or for more detailed instructions, please

refer to your DataLink Connect Help Menu within the program.
