Subject: Epson TWAIN Pro Network Driver 2.00A (Rev.B)

This bulletin was created to inform you of a modification to the Epson TWAIN Pro Network
driver v.2.00A for the Expression 1600/1640XL/1680 and GT-10000/10000+ series scanners.

Description of Change:

The updated driver has been modified for Windows NT 4.0, 2000 and XP to allow only client
users with administrator rights to change the IP address of a network scanner. Users from
client workstations running Windows 95, 98 or ME still have the ability to change the IP
address.

Reason:

On the first release of the TWAIN Pro Network driver (v.2.00A), any user on a client
workstation running Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP had sufficient rights to change the network
scanner IP address. TWAIN Pro Network driver 2.00A (Rev.B) provides an extra level of
security so that only administrators or users with administrator rights can change the IP
address.

Driver Installation Instructions:

1. Download the Epson TWAIN Pro Network driver 2.00A (Rev.B) from the Epson website.

2. This is a self-extracting file. After extracting the driver, it will run the setup program.

3. Follow the on screen instructions to install the driver.

4. After installing the updated TW AIN Pro Network driver, you are required to re-install the
original Twain Pro Network driver 2.00A from your scanner installation CD. The driver can
also be found at the Epson web site (www.epson.com).

** Note **

If you do not reinstall the original driver, you may see one or both of the following errors when
trying to scan:

"scanner model not supported"
"scanner handler error"

Subject: Safely Removing a Jammed IEEE 1394 Scanner Interface Card

This bulletin provides instructions on how to safely remove the IEEE 1394 scanner interface card in cases where
is necessary to remove it or re-insert it and this simple operation becomes unexpectedly difficult because the card
gets jammed in the slot.

Description:

The cards have a plastic isolation sheet attached at the bottom that prevent short -circuiting components as
illustrated in this figure:

Normally, the card slides in and out of the scanner option slot without difficulty, but if the center of this plastic
sheet gets arched, it may hit the bottom edge of the option slot metal housing preventing the card from coming
out. See figure below:
