The CapShare Utility

The purpose of this document is to give users basic instructions
on how to use the HP CapShare 920 Portable e-Copier with a
Windows 2000 system.

Installing the HP CapShare Utility

You only need to install the utility if you are going to be using the
serial interface. Infrared connections are not currently supported
for use with the utility on any computer using the Windows 2000
operating system. However, you can use the automatic infrared
support of Windows 2000 with the Wireless Link program that loads
automatically on infrared capable machines. If you have an infrared
adapter for your serial communications port, then check with the
product’s manufacturer for instructions on how to install the device
in Windows 2000 Professional.

Important Note

You must have Administrator privileges to install and use the HP
CapShare Utility on a Windows 2000 Professional system.

You should have the most recent revision of the CapShare firmware
installed. Please check the HP CapShare website for more
information at http://www.capshare.hp.com on how to obtain the
updated firmware.

WINDOWS 2000

To install the HP CapShare Utility simply put the CD-ROM into your
computer’s CD-ROM drive and then follow the onscreen prompts
until you get to the Communication Screen. If your computer has an
active infrared port then infrared will be an option here, but you will
need to select the serial connection since infrared connectivity is not
supported for use with the HP CapShare Utility on Windows 2000
systems. Once you have selected serial and then clicked OK, then
follow the rest of the prompts to finish installing the utility.

To install the CapShare-enhanced Pagis Pro 2.0 software you should
check with ScanSoft for installation instructions. ScanSoft should be
able to inform you of any known problems or special instructions
for Windows 2000. In our testing, we found that the CapShare­enhanced Pagis Pro 2.0 version doesn’t seem to have any problems
as long as the user is transferring over the serial cable. If the
transfers are over IR, then some problems were experienced and the
Wireless Link applet intercepted the transfers.

As of March 2000 ScanSoft has noted problems with version 3.0 in
Windows 2000. So, if you have upgraded to version 3.0 of Pagis Pro,
then check with ScanSoft for any product updates that will resolve
these issues.
