to scan a form, spread sheet, a
hand written letter or a document
with color text or color page.

contains, preferably, one column
and has black text on a white
page.
Symptom: The scanner stopped working
after I upgraded to Windows
95/98, Windows NT4.0
WorkStation.

WorkStation is a 32-bit Operating
System and most programs written
for Windows 95/98, Windows
NT4.0 WorkStation require 32-bit
device drivers (the program that
communicates between your
computer and the scanner).
Solution: Contact our WEB site and
download the newest device driver
