Environmental Requirements

Before unpacking your scanner, make sure that the location where the scanner will be

installed is large enough to allow for easy operation.

• Make sure that the operating environment for the scanner is free of dust and other

contaminants.

• Allow adequate ventilation space (no less than 38.1"or 15 cm) around the

scanner.

• Place the scanner on a flat, stable surface that is not subject to vibration.

• Make sure that the scanning surface will not be exposed to direct sunlight or other

sources of bright light.

• Avoid placing the scanner close to sources of extreme cold or heat.

• Avoid connecting the scanner to a power source that might experience power

surges.

• Avoid positioning the scanner in the path of heavy traffic where it may get

bumped.

2.0 cable that came with your scanner.

Once the scanner has been placed in a suitable location and is ready to be connected

to the host computer, it is time to proceed with installation of the necessary hardware

and software components for the scanner.

the scanner, follow the steps below:

1. Look for the unlocking screw at the bottom

follow the steps below:

1. Turn off the scanner if your scanner is on.

Installation

This section provides information on the scanner connection procedures.

Installing the Scanner Software

Before connecting the scanner to your computer, follow the steps below to install the

scanner software:

1. Turn on your computer.

2. Insert the Microtek CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive.

ForMacintoshusers:*

When the Microtek CD-ROM icon appears on your Macintosh desktop, double-

click on this icon to open it. The software installer screen should appear, and click

each software program on the screen to install all the software components.

Double-click the “Install” icon on each folder to install the respective programs one

at a time.

ForPCusers:

The Microtek Scanner Software installer screen should automatically come up.

When the software installer screen appears, click each software program in the

order that it appears on the screen to install all the software components.

When you install ScanWizard Pro, the installer program will install the Color

Matching System driver program and ask you to perform Color Matching for your

monitor and printer. The Color Matching System feature ensures color consistency

from the initial input phase when an image is captured by the scanner, to the final

output process when the image is output to your monitor or printer.

Note: If the software installer screen does not come up automatically, double-

click the following in succession: “My Computer” on your Windows desktop; the

CD-ROM icon; and then cdsetup.exe to start the installer program.

3. Restart your computer when the software installation is complete.

*Caution:

For Macintosh users,

1. Make sure the additional software you have is already installed in your computer

before installing the scanner software.

2. Make sure that all virus protection software is turned off before installing the

scanner software. Once the scanner software installation is finished, remember to

re-enable the virus protection software.

3. For iMac users, please visit Apple's website at http://www.apple.com/imac/to
