Chapter I. Installing the Scanner
Before installing your scanner, please verify that you have all of the proper
components. A list of the package contents is provided in the Box Contents section of
this guide.
Software Installation Requirements
Your scanner comes with the scanner’s driver, QuickScan Setting and LaserSoft
SilverFast software. Under Mac OS X, only SilverFast is compatible and needs to be
installed. The other bundled software is not compatible with Mac OS X. To ensure
ample room for the installation, as well as for scanning and saving images, a
minimum of 10 GB of hard disk space is recommended.
Hardware Requirements
This scanner connects to your computer through the Universal Serial Bus (USB)
which supports hot Plug and Play. Note that on some computers, the USB port at the
rear of the computer may be occupied and additional ports may be found on the
monitor or keyboard. If you are having trouble in locating the USB port on your
computer, please refer to the hardware manual that came with your computer.
If you don’t find such USB ports on your computer, then you need to purchase a
certified USB interface card to add USB capabilities to your computer.
