May 28, 1996 Overview -------- In order to use the software on this CD ROM, you need to have a 486 or Pentium with at least 8 MB of RAM and 50 MB of hard disk space. If you are installing Adobe Photoshop, you need to have 16 MB of RAM (memory) in order to run Photoshop. The hard disk space requirements depend on the size of images you scan. 50 MB is enough if you are scanning small images. If you intend to scan larger files or very high resolutions, you need to have much more space than 50 MB on your hard disk. ScanWizard - ScanWizard is the scanner controller software driver or the Twain driver for your scanner. It allows your applications to communicate with your scanner. When you install this software under Windows 95, you get a 16-bit as well as a 32-bit version of ScanWizard. Use the 16-bit version with 16-bit applications and the 32-bit versions with 32-bit applications. ULead PhotoImpact - This is a 32-bit image editing software for Windows 95. Use this program to scan images under Windows 95 and save them as bitmaps. ULead ImagePals to Go! - This is a 16-bit image editing software for Windows 3.1x. If you are using Windows 95, it is a good idea to use PhotoImpact to scan images instead. This software will install and run under Windows 95 should you choose to install it. OmniPage Limited Edition - This software is 16-bits but works properly under Windows 95. OmniPage Limited Edition is used for scanning pages of text and converting them into a word processor format so you can then edit the text.

Older Microtek Interface Cards and Windows 95 --------------------------------------------- If you plan to use a MS-PCZ or MS-PNR interface card with your scanner under Windows 95, please refer to the \ScanWiz\cards.rtf file of the CD ROM for installation instructions. This file can be openned with any word processor which can read a Rich Text Format (RTF) file such as Windows 95 Wordpad application. The .INF files for these two types of cards can be found in the \ScanWiz\DISK1 subdirectory of the CD ROM. This document refers to a disk called the Drivers disk.
