Wizard Screen (Windows Vista)

This chapter describes how to prepare the scanner to scan
documents.

Setting Up the Scanner

Perform the following steps to set up the CR-135i II/CR-190i II. Refer to
the section for each step for details about that step.

A Check your operating environment. (See “Checking Your

Operating Environment,” on p. 18.)

B Install the software. (See “Installing the Software,” on

p. 19.)

Install the Scanning Utility provided with the CR-135i II/CR-190i II.

C Connect the scanner to a computer. (See “Connecting

the Scanner to a Computer,” on p. 20.)

D Turn ON the power. (See “Turning ON the Power,” on

p. 21.)

E Automatically installing the device driver. (See p. 22.)

The device driver is installed automatically when Windows
recognizes the CR-135i II/CR-190i II.

• To have the device drivers installed automatically when the computer
recognizes the CR-135i II/CR-190i II, the software needs to be installed
before the CR-135i II/CR-190i II is connected to the computer.

• If you connect the computer and turn ON the CR-135i II/CR-190i II before
installing the software, the following wizard screen appears. If this
happens, click [Cancel], turn OFF the CR-135i II/CR-190i II, and then
install the software.
The following wizard screen is an example in Windows Vista. When a
similar wizard screen appears in Windows XP/7/8/8.1/10, click [Cancel].
