CHAPTER 2. Your First Scan
Before you begin your first scan, you must install the scanner and the bundled software. Refer to the
Quick
Install Guide
for installation.
You can perform a basic scan using any of the software applications bundled with this scanner. For your
first scan, we suggest using the PhotoDeluxe software.
PCs and Macintosh have two different versions of the PhotoDeluxe software, so we have included two
separate sets of instructions. Please follow the proper set of instructions for your system.
