To scan the maximum document length (356 mm) using the auto document
feeder at 1200 dpi in full colour, at least 1 GB of memory is required. In
addition, at least 600 MB or more of free hard disk space is required on the
drive where your operating system is installed. In Windows

Me, it is not
possible to scan an A4 size document at 1200 dpi in full color or grayscale
(a lower resolution or a smaller scanning area must be selected).
Note for Windows

Me: In the Power Management settings in the
Control Panel, System standby must be set to Never. In addition, do not
use the standby feature that appears when you shut down Windows.
