2. Installing the Driver Software
Start by installing ScanGear CS-U, the driver software required to operate the
scanner. Without this program, the computer will not correctly detect the scanner
and you will not be able to scan images. Make sure that you install this software
with the procedures below.
• You only have to install the driver software once, when the
scanner is connected to the computer for the first time. If the
installation is canceled midway or if the procedures in this
guide are not followed exactly, you will not be able to
reinstall the driver software or use the scanner. Ensure that
you follow the exact procedures described in this guide.
If the installation does not proceed smoothly, first read the
Troubleshooting section on the CanoScan Setup Utility CD-ROM
and apply its recommendations before reinstalling the driver
software.
• Approximately 10 MB of free hard disk space is required to
install the driver software.
• Instructions for installing the program on the Windows 98
platform appear in the Windows screen. The instructions
provided for Windows 2000 differ slightly.
