Before connecting the scanner to a computer
Before connecting the scanner to a computer, the DiMAGE Scan Utility must first be installed. Read the software instruction manual for the installation procedure.
The scanner should be placed on a level surface free from vibrations. It should be located away from direct sunlight and in a clean, dry, well-ventilated area. Never connect the scanner cable while data is being transferred between the computer and peripheral devices.
Connecting the USB cable
Securely plug the A connector of the USB cable into the scanner’s USB port and the B connector into the computer’s USB port.
The scanner should be connected directly to the computer. Attaching the scanner to a USB hub may prevent proper operation.
When the scanner is initially connected to a computer with a Windows 98, 98SE, or 2000 Professional operating system, the found-new-hardware wizard will appear briefly. No action is required. With Windows 2000, the “Digital Signature Not Found…” message may appear. Click the yes button to complete the scanner installation.
When the scanner is initially connected to a computer with a Windows XP operating system, the found-new-hardware wizard will appear. Click the next button. The “not passed Windows Logo testing” message appears. Click the continue-anyway button to complete the scanner installation.
