How to Use this Guide
This guide explains how to use the Canon Plug-in Module CS-U 3.3 (herein referred to as
Plug-in Module CS-U) with application programs supporting CanoScan FB630U/FB636U, such
as Adobe PhotoDeluxe.
A plug-in is used within a compatible application program like Adobe PhotoDeluxe 2.0 to
expand its functionality and cannot be used as a stand-alone application. By only installing
the Plug-in Module CS-U from the CanoScan Setup Utility CD-ROM, Plug-in Module CS-U can
be simply plugged into the parent program and add the ability to scan.
Before using Plug-in Module CS-U, we strongly recommend reading this guide and keeping
this CD-ROM in a safe place for later reference.
