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 OCR software (ABBYY FineReader 6.0 Sprint Plus),
the scanner’s driver and the DocAction software. All of these software applications use
approximately 400 megabytes of hard disk space after they are installed into your
computer. To ensure ample room for the installation, as well as for scanning and
saving images, a minimum of 500 megabytes of hard disk space is recommended.
The USB scanner can only operate under the Microsoft Windows 2000
Professional, XP operating system or Windows Vista.
Hardware Requirements
This scanner connects to your computer through the Universal Serial Bus (USB),
which supports hot swap. To determine whether your computer is USB-capable, you
must check the rear of your PC to locate a USB jack that looks the same as the one
pictured below. 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.
Upon examination, you should find one or two rectangular USB ports, which
usually appear as shown below.
USB Connector(s)
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.
