needed because you should go back to the

software on the list.
2. When the Microtek Software Installer screen

first item on the screen, which is the SCSI
version of your scanner controller program.)
For each software, follow the on-screen
instructions during installation. Default values
are specified at every point during installation;
simply accept these values to continue
installation until you finish.
In some applications, auxiliary information
(such as the Readme file) may be displayed
after that particular program finishes installing.
Simply click the "X" close box at the upper
right corner of the displayed window to return
to the Microtek Software Installer. Do not
restart your computer until all the software has
been installed. See additional notes below
where applicable pertaining to each software
application.

your scanner controller program for capturing
images from your scanner and delivering them
to your image-editing application (in this case,
Adobe Photoshop LE). Follow the on-screen
instructions during installation. After
ScanWizard finishes installing, you will be
prompted to restart your computer. Select No to
continue installing the rest of the software.
b) Microtek ScanSuite. This is your scanner
utility program for scanning, copying, faxing,
OCR, and email from within the program.
