This file contains important information that was not included in the
MagicScan User's Guide file.  It is divided into several sections: System
Requirements, Installation Procedures, Supported Scanners, Limitations,
Note.

System Requirements
 * System 8.5 or later
 * If you use PhotoShop 3.0 or later, set PhotoShop's preferred memory 
   size to 12MB(68K)/24MB(PPC) or more using the file--Get Info command.
 * If you use MagicScan DA, set MagicScan DA's preferred memory size to 
   6MB or more using File--Get Info command.
 * If you use PhotoPerfect, set PhotoPerfect's preferred memory size to

Installation Procedures
Make sure PhotoShop is installed first, if you have not yet installed it,
before installing MagicScan.

Follow the steps below to install MagicScan:

 1. Double-click on the MagicScan Installer icon.
 2. Follow the on-screen instructions to install MagicScan.
    Please note that:
    * If you choose Easy Install, the UMAXShare and UMAXChooser won't be 
      installed.
    * When a dialog box prompts you to select the plug-ins folder, select 
      the Plug-ins folder in PhotoShop. The MagicScan plug-in driver 
      should be stored in the folder you select in this dialog box.
 3. After installation, restart your Macintosh.  A new folder containing    
    the MagicScan software is created. To know how to use MagicScan, 
    refer to your MagicScan User's Guide for detailed information.

 Note: If you cannot install MagicScan from a CD-ROM, open the MagicScan 
        Disk Folder and select the folders designated MagicScan Disk 1 
        thru MagicScan Disk 9 in that order. These folders represent 
        floppies. Access the MagicScan Disk Folder and copy the contents 
        of each folder onto separate diskettes.
        The contents of each folder, MagicScan Disk 1 thru MagicScan Disk 
        9, contain exactly the right amount of data for one floppy 
        diskette.

 Note: If you find the MagicScan plug-in driver is located in the 
        MagicScan folder, you need yo drag the MagicScan plug-in 
        driver to PhotoShop's Plug-ins folder.

  
Limitations
When using the Multiple Scan or Batch Scan mode, all scans must be from
the same physical scanner (regardless of the number of scanners connected
to the computer).

Notes
 1. Remove 'UMAXShare' file from the Extensions folder under System 
    Folder if you have serious problems using a remote scanner through 
    network.

 2. For non-network users, remove 'UMAXShare' file from the Extensions 
    folder under System Folder in order to increase MagicScan's 
    performance.

 3. If UMAXShare is updated, all Macintosh machines on the same network 
    must be updated as well for remote scanner access. At present 
    Macintosh to PC access is not supported.

 4. Before installing OmniPage, make sure you have the Apple Compatible 
    driver installed. Select "Support Apple Compatible Scanner" while 
    installing OmniPage. After installation, choose "Apple Scan" from 
    Chooser.

 5. When the Selection Area marquee and the Preview Frame overlap, place 
    the cusor within the Preview Frame, press the Option key and drag so 
    that the whole Preview Frame moves. To change the size and shape of 
    the Preview Frame, press the Option key and drag on an edge or 
    corner to stretch or contract the Preview Frame. Dragging without the 
    Option key pressedwill move the Selection Area marquee if the cursor 
    is within the slection frame or stretch the Selection Area marquee if 
    the cursor is on the marquee border.
