Introduction to ScanGear CS-S 4.3

Welcome to ScanGear CS-S

Welcome to Canon ScanGear CS-S 4.3 for Windows 95, Windows 98 and

Windows NT 4.0! Working with your imaging application, the ScanGear CS-S

provides flexible capabilities for scanning with your Canon scanner and

interfacing with a wide variety of applications and devices. ScanGear CS-S

also gives you prescan image enhancement features and lets you produce

professional-quality images from your scanner.

System Requirements

Before you run install ScanGear CS-S, make sure your hardware and software

meet the system requirements listed below.

Hardware

• CPU: i486 or greater (Windows 95/98)

Pentium or greater (Windows NT 4.0)

• RAM: 32 MB or greater; 64 MB recommended (Windows 95)

32 MB or greater; 64 MB recommended (Windows 98)

32 MB or greater; 64 MB recommended (Windows NT 4.0)

• Data files: 50 MB or greater free space

The size of scanned images varies depending on the image type selected.

Black and white scans have the smallest file size; high-resolution color

scans have the largest file size. As an example, a 4 inches x 6 inches color

photograph scanned in high-resolution color at 600 dpi needs about 25

MB of hard disk space. For more information about scanned image file

sizes, see Chapter 5, “Scanning Techniques.”

• Program files: 3 MB required

• Monitor: Super VGA, 256 or more colors, 800 X 600 or higher

resolution.

For previewing the best color scans, it is recommended that you make sure

your monitor’s color palette is set to Full Color (24 bit).

• ASPI-compatible SCSI card

A compatible SCSI card is bundled with your scanner.

Software

Windows®95, Windows®98 or Windows NT®4.0 is required to run the

ScanGear CS-S. It is also recommended that you install the latest available

Windows 95/98 or Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack.

About ScanGear CS-S

ScanGear CS-S has a number of powerful features that help you get the most

out of your scanner’s capabilities. Using ScanGear CS-S, you can preview an

image and make changes before the image is scanned and acquired by the

application you are using.

Feature List

The following list describes some of ScanGear CS-S’s features:

• Flexible, fully automatic image acquisition, and pre-scan image

manipulation prior to passing data to the image application

• Sophisticated, Windows-compliant user interface

• Full support of TWAIN 1.6 specifications

• Support for Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) option

• Text Enhanced mode for OCR(optical character recognition)

applications

• Canon ColorGearTM Color Matching software technology

About ScanGear CS-S “Windowless” Mode

The ScanGear CS-S data source runs with or without its window (user

interface, or UI) displayed, depending on the acquiring application. When an

application requests a scan and the ScanGear CS-S window does not appear

before the scan occurs, you can not use the ScanGear CS-S settings described

in this manual. The host application provides the settings, and you can change

the image after it is acquired. This is called “windowless” or “UI-less”

scanning mode.
