Installing the Software

Installation  3

Installing the Software

Direct is installed in your Apple Menu Items folder. Several Direct files are 
also installed in the System Folder. Direct must be installed on the startup 
disk and that startup disk must contain a valid System Folder. The 
Installer program automatically selects the startup disk when you install 
from the installation disks. 

Installing Chooser Extension(s) for Your Scanner(s)

During installation, you must install the Chooser extension(s) for the 
scanner(s) you plan to use with Direct. These Chooser extensions, 
supplied by Caere, are drivers that allow supported scanners to work with 
Direct. Easy Installation lets you install Chooser extensions to support one 
type of scanner. For example, if you select 

Ricoh, 

Chooser extensions 

required by supported Ricoh scanners will be installed. Custom 
Installation lets you install Chooser extensions to support as many 
scanners as you want.

Your scanner and the driver supplied by its manufacturer, if any, must be 
installed on your system according to the manufacturer's instructions.

After installation, you must select the required extension for your scanner 
in the Chooser. 

Easy Installation

software manual for more information.
