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 Gx/GxT 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 GX/GXT 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

The Wizard will STOP because the driver is not

recognised by Windows’ logo testing system.

Ignore this and click ‘

Continue Anyway’

This is completely normal.

Windows transfers the driver to the scanner

computer.  Do not start other applications while

this is happening.
