TWAIN Dialog box. Refer to the Scanning Utilities Manual for a description of

IMPORTANT:
Before scanning your image at a maximum of 48-bit high
resolution, make sure that your system resources and the available memory
in your hard disk is enough otherwise, your system may crash.
Moving the Scanner
IMPORTANT:
Before continuing, move the scanner’s carriage lock switch
(located on the side near the rear of the scanner) to the
Lock
position. Failure
to do so may cause damage to your scanner’s scanning mechanism.
In case you need to ship the scanner for any reason, be sure to lock the
carriage. It is also safer if you pack the scanner in its original box and use the
original packing materials as they provide ample protection to the scanner.
