A.1 General Questions
Q: What is the minimum hardware configuration required for
using a scanner?
A: (1) Processing Capability
586 Pentium processor or above with 16MB RAM is the suggested
minimum required configuration. Additional RAM can improve the
speed of image processing and large hard disk storage space can
be used as data swapping once the memory is not enough.
(2) Display Capability
A true-color display card that can support at least 16-bit colors is
required. For the professional user, the higher display card that
supports more than 24-bit colors could produce superior color
images.
Q: Does the scanner provide power saving feature?
A: Yes. After 15 minutes' pending, the system would shut up the light
indicating it is under stand-by mode.
Q: What would happen if I do not use the true color card?

dithering image) and color displayed are totally different from the

However, the data captured by the scanner is not affected; that is, the
