Installing the TWAIN Driver/ WIA Driver
• Be very careful to follow the steps below in order to install the driver
software.
1. Install one of the following drivers from the Canon Digital Camera
Solution Disk (p. 22).
Windows 98 / Windows 2000:
TWAIN Driver
Windows Me / WIndows XP:
WIA Driver
- Copy the required files to your computer.
2. Connect the camera to the computer with the USB cable.
- Complete the steps required to install the driver and then close the installer.
• The installation procedures may vary between Windows versions (pp.
26-28).
WIA Driver Installation Precautions
• You can install the WIA Driver if you are using Windows Me or Windows XP. In
addition, you should read the “WIA Driver Limitations” below before installing
the driver.
WIA Driver Limitations
• When you have set the WIA Driver to start a particular application program
when you connect the camera, the program may cause an error message similar
to the following to appear: “TWAIN data source not found. Reinstall the scanner
software.” If this happens, select [WIA-camera model] in the application
program as the TWAIN device. Your camera model name will appear in place of
the “camera model” in the brackets above.
• Windows Me users cannot use ZoomBrowser EX’s auto start function when the
WIA Driver is installed.
• TWAIN Driver is the driver software for USB connections to Windows 98
and Windows 2000 only. It is the software required to load images into
TWAIN-compliant application programs, such as ArcSoft
PhotoImpression/VideoImpression and Adobe Photoshop LE. Since it is
not a stand-alone program, you must always use it by starting it from
within a TWAIN-compliant program.
• WIA Driver is the driver software for USB connections to Windows Me
and Windows XP only. When you connect the camera to the computer
with a USB cable, the Scanners and Cameras Wizard will open
automatically to assist with downloading. This driver also allows you to
use Windows Explorer to display the camera’s thumbnail images on the
computer and download images with standard file copying procedures.
