What’s New with Nikon Scan Version 1.6

and Nikon Control Version 2.2

The CD included in this package contains updated versions of Nikon Control Windows and Nikon Scan Windows. Most of the changes made to these programs since the release of the previous versions (Nikon Scan Windows 1.4 and Nikon Control Windows 2.1) have been in the form of improvements to drivers and have not had significant effect on the look of the program as described in the manuals, which remain unchanged from the previous release. The program which installs the software to the computer’s hard disk has however been entirely revised. These changes are described in the present booklet, which replaces pages 3–10 of theNikon Control Windows User’s Manual .

System Requirements

To run Nikon Control Windows 2.2 or Nikon Scan 1.6, you will need an IBM PC/AT or compatible computer with a i386 microprocessor or better, running Windows® 95 or Windows NT® Version 4.0 or later.
