Scanner Message on Launch
You may receive the following message in a dialog box the first time you
launch OmniPage after installing or changing your default scanner:
“This scanner’s configuration is set using the system-level driver.”
This is a Windows-generated dialog box. Click
OK
in the dialog box if it
asks for no more information. You may have the option of selecting a SCSI
ID or scanner configuration information. Consult your scanner
documentation for information. You may have the option of entering a
page size. Enter the largest size page you may need to scan that your
scanner supports and click
OK.
If you receive a message that says something similar to “Cannot find
AccuPage.dll” or “Can’t find scanner!” see the message that begins
“Problem with scanner” on page 245.
Checking the Scanner Driver Name and Version
The following files allow OmniPage to communicate with your scanner
hardware:
•
Scanner driver
files, supplied by the scanner manufacturer, that tell
your computer how to communicate with the scanner. You may not
need one, or you may need more than one. Refer to your scanner
documentation.
• Scan Manager files supplied by Caere that are placed on your hard
drive during installation of the Scan Manager application. See
“Scan Manager Installation” on page 8.
Scanner Drivers
A scanner driver must be installed on your hard disk. This file tells your
computer how to communicate with the scanner. The file name is
referenced in your
config.sys
or
autoexec.bat
file.
The file name in the
config.sys
or
autoexec.bat
file must match the
file name of the device driver supplied with your scanner software. The
file version must be compatible with OmniPage.
