Unpacking CrownCopy

If you purchased the complete CrownCopy option, the scanner kit 
and the software option kit come in the same box. If you purchased 
the scanner separately, then the software option kit comes in a sepa-
rate box.

»

Note: 

The CrownCopy option supports version 1.5 of the UMAX Vista 

S6E scanner. The version number is on the back of the scanner box. 

The scanner kit contains the following:

n

n

Power cords (Both 110- and 220-volt cords are supplied. 100-volt 
cords are supplied in Japan only)

Calibration software 

n

SCSI interface daughterboard

See the documentation accompanying these items for information on 
setting up CrownCopy to scan images to a host computer.
