Chapter I. Installing the Scanner
Before installing your scanner, please verify that you have all of the proper
components. A list of the package contents is provided in the
Box Contents
section of
this guide.
Software Installation Requirements
Your scanner comes with the scanner’s driver and the DocAction software. All of
these software applications use approximately 800 megabytes of hard disk space after
they are installed into your computer. To ensure ample room for the installation, as well
as for scanning and saving images, a minimum of 2 gigabyte of hard disk space is
recommended.
The USB scanner can only operate under the Microsoft Windows 7 / 8 / 10
operating system.
Hardware Requirements
This scanner connects to your computer through the Universal Serial Bus (USB),
which supports
hot swap
. To determine whether your computer is USB-capable, you
must check the rear of your PC to locate a USB jack that looks the same as the one
pictured below. Note that on some computers, the USB port at the rear of the computer
may be occupied and additional ports may be found on the monitor or keyboard. If you
are having trouble in locating the USB port on your computer, please refer to the
hardware manual that came with your computer.
Upon examination, you should find one or two rectangular USB ports, which usually
appear as shown below.
If you don’t find such USB ports on your computer, then you need to purchase a
certified USB interface card to add USB capabilities to your computer.
