Thank you for purchasing the UMAX Astra MX3 scanner. This versatile unit
is perfect for the home or office. Use this scanner to add variety and flare to

Before reading further, it’s important to note that this scanner is a Macintosh
®
scanner. This manual is written for Macintosh users. The styling, functionality,
and ease-of-use reflect the same attention to detail that you’ve come to expect
from other Macintosh-compatible products. But your MX3 scanner will also
operate on a PC running Windows
®
95, 98 or NT. We mention this because
there may be some people that want to use other operating systems with their
scanner.
You’ll note that there are a number of screenshots throughout the manual, and
that many of them are from PC systems, as opposed to Macs. Where that’s the
case, the functions are identical. In other words, it works the same way on
either Mac or PC systems.
But the MX3 is, without question, intended for Mac users. The software that is
included with the scanner is specific to the Macintosh platform. There are PC
versions of the driver software on the installation CD, but the application
software is Macintosh compatible.
The Astra MX3 scanner is equipped with two SCSI connectors and a USB
connector. Both the USB and SCSI interface connectors allow you to make a
fast and easy connection to your computer. SCSI connectors are found on
Macintosh computers and PC computers equipped with a SCSI interface card.
USB connectors are found on newer PC computers and USB-equipped
Macintosh computer (such as the iMac or blue and white G3).
In addition to being easy-to-connect, this scanner is also easy-to-use. Simply
follow the instructions in this guide and you’ll be scanning in no time. Use the
powerful software included with your scanner to create, edit and archive
scanned images, e-mail or fax images to friends or clients, or create your own
web site gallery. Get ready to unleash your creativity with the UMAX Astra
MX3 scanner.
