A. Before Installation

(1) Hardware and software requirements

Check the following hardware and software requirements in order to
install the software.

The machine's USB connector will transfer data at the speed speci-
fied by the USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed) only if the Microsoft USB 2.0 driver is
preinstalled in the computer, or if the USB 2.0 driver for Windows
2000 Professional/XP that Microsoft provides through its "Windows
Update" is installed.

Compatible with Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000 Profes-
sional, Windows XP Professional or Windows XP Home Edition pre-
installed model standardly equipped with a USB port.

Printing is not available in MS-DOS mode.

The machine does not support printing from a Macintosh environ-
ment.

Administrator's rights are required to install the software using the
installer.

(2) Installation environment and usable software

The following table shows the drivers and software that can be
installed for each version of Windows and interface connection
method.

Windows 98/Me does not support USB 2.0. A USB 2.0 connection
can be used in Windows 98/Me, however, the performance will be
the same as USB 1.1. The print speed based on USB 2.0 specifica-
tions can only be attained if your computer is running Windows
2000/XP, you are using a cable that supports USB 2.0 (USB 1.1 or
USB 2.0 certified), and the cable is connected to a USB 2.0 port on
your computer. If the connection is made through a hub, the hub
must support USB 2.0.

The printer driver that is installed will vary depending on the type of
connection between the machine and your computer.

Although it is possible to install Button Manager and Sharpdesk on
Windows 98/Me/2000/XP, neither Button Manager nor the scanner
function of Sharpdesk can actually be used.

B. Installing the software

• If you need to use a different connection method after installing the

software based on a USB or parallel connection, you must first unin-
stall the software and then install it using the new connection

ured for right hand operation.

• The scanner feature only works when using a USB cable.

dure will continue. Depending on the problem, you may have to click
the "Cancel" button to exit the installer. In this case, reinstall the soft-
ware from the beginning after solving the problem.
