-
- This file contains the following topics:
-
- * Running Scankit Utility
-

-
-
- Before proceeding, it is important that you have completed the
- following steps:
-
- Step 1: Installed the scanner interface card in your computer.
-
- Step 2: Connected the scanner to the interface card.
-
- Step 3: Run the Install program of Scankit Utility.
-
-
- If you have not yet done any of the three steps, please refer to the
- scanner Installation Guide for more details.
-
-
- RUNNING SCANKIT UTILITY
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- 1. Start Windows by typing "win."
-
- 2. Double-click the ScanKit Utility Icon(which appears after installation) to
- run the Scankit Utility or,
-
- 2.1 Use the Program Manager's File RUN command, type:
-
- "scanw"
-
- Also include the DOS pathname.
- (Example: C:\SCANW\scanw )
-
- 2.2 Click OK.
-
-
- EDITING THE SCANNER DEVICE LINE
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- 1.INTRODUCTION
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- For the computer to recognize that you have installed a scanner,
- the CONFIG.SYS file should contain a device line that specifies
- the scanner driver and the configuration (i.e. - DMA, IRQ, and
- I/O address settings) used by the scanner interface card.
-
- To edit the CONFIG.SYS file, you will need to use a text editor.
- If you have DOS 5.0, you can use the EDIT.EXE command. If your
- system is running on DOS version 5.0 or lower, you will use the
- EDLIN.COM command. If you are in Windows, you may also use the
- Windows Notepad. Please refer to your DOS (or Windows) manual
- for steps on how to use these text editors.
-
- Read carefully the following sections to obtain more information
- on how to set the parameters in the scanner device line.
-
- 2. THE SCANNER DEVICE LINE
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- The scanner device line should include five (5) items. These are:
-
- * Device driver
-
- * DMA setting
-
- * IRQ setting
-
- * Scanner type setting
-
- * I/O address setting
-
-
- In the CONFIG.SYS file, the correct syntax for the scanner
- device line is as follows:
-
- DEVICE=[drive:\][path-directory\]driver-name Dn In An Sn
- where:
-
- [drive:\][path-directory\] is the drive and subdirectory
- where the scanner driver is located
-
- driver-name is the name of the scanner driver
- (e.g., M1904.SYS / M1906.SYS )
-
- Dn is the DMA setting of the interface card
- (e.g., D3 for DMA3)
-
- In is the IRQ setting of the interface card
- (e.g., I5 for IRQ5)
-
- An is the I/O address of the interface card
- (e.g., A2AB for I/O address 2AB)
-
- Sn is the scanner type
- (e.g., S5 for GS-800 scanner)
-
-
- 3. SETTING THE SCANNER DEVICE LINE PARAMETERS
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- When you edit the scanner device line, there are certain
- precautions that you should make note of, especially when
- choosing the DMA, IRQ, and I/O address settings for the
- scanner interface card.
-
- Avoid hardware and software conflicts that can adversely
- affect the performance of the scanner by selecting only
- available and unused DMA, IRQ, and I/O address settings.
- See the Troubleshooting Tips in your scanner user's guide
- for more information.
-
- USE THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS FOR SETTING THE SCANNER DEVICE
- DRIVER LINE PARAMETERS:
-
- 3.1 The Mustek scanner device driver [driver-name]
-
- The Mustek scanner device driver is found in the Scankit
- Utility subdirectory. For the scanner to work, it is
- important that the scanner driver is loaded properly when
- you boot your computer. In the CONFIG.SYS file, make sure
- the driver in the scanner device line has the correct path.
-
- Driver-Name: For all Mustek hand-held scanners:
- ------------ ----------------------------------
- M1906.SYS CG-8000
- CG-8400
-
- M1904.SYS CG-8000
- CG-8400
- CG-6000
- GS-800
- GS-400
- HT-800 TURBO
- HT-105
- Matador Models 4096, 256, 105
-
- 3.2 The DMA channel [Dn]
-
- When you assign the DMA setting for the scanner interface card,
- make sure it is not used by any other device connected to
- your computer. The available DMA channels for the
- interface card are:
-
- D1 for DMA 1
- D3 for DMA 3 (recommended setting)
-
- The devices that might have DMA settings are sound cards,
- SCSI devices, anti-virus cards, CD-ROM drives, multimedia
- cards, etc. If you have any of these devices in the computer,
- please select the DMA channel not being used.
-
- 3.3 The IRQ level [In]
-
- When you assign the IRQ setting for the scanner interface card,
- make sure it is not used by any other device connected to
- your computer. The available IRQ levels for the interface
- card are:
-
- I3 for IRQ 3
- I5 for IRQ 5 (recommended setting for XT bus)
- I10 for IRQ 10 (recommended setting for AT bus)
-
- The devices that might use IRQ settings are networking cards,
- SCSI devices, bus mice, sound cards, etc. If you have any of
- these devices in the computer, please select the IRQ settings
- not being used.
-
- 3.4 The Scanner type [Sn]
-
- S2 for HT-105 / Matador 105
- S4 for CG-6000
- S5 for GS-800
- S6 for HT-800 TURBO
- S7 for GS-400 / Matador 256
- S8 for Matador 4096
- S9 for CG-8000 and CG-8400
-
- 3.5 The I/O Address [An]
-
- The scanner interface card has eight (8) available I/O
- addresses and is equipped with a switch for selecting the
- address settings.
-
- Inspect the interface card closely. Printed on the circuit
- board are the 8 available addresses. As with the DMA and
- IRQ settings, select an I/O address that is not used by any
- other device connected to your computer.
-
- It is very important that the I/O address selection in the
- scanner device line should match the scanner interface
- card's I/O address setting.
-
- The 8 available I/O addresses are:
-
- * 22B * 32B
- * 26B * 36B
- * 2AB (recommended setting) * 3AB
- * 2EB * 3EB
-
- The I/O address 3EB will conflict with COM3 port and
- Western Digital's IDE hard disk controller card. If you are
- using the I/O address 3EB, the I/O address on the scanner
- interface card (DIP switch) and in the device driver should
- be changed to another address (e.g. - 26B)
-
