-
- Step 2: Connected the scanner to the PrinScan adapter.
-
- Step 3: Run the Install program.
-
-
- If you have not yet completed the above 3 steps, please refer to the
- scanner's User Guide for assistance in completing them.
-
-
- ABOUT THE EMM386.EXE
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- EMM386.EXE is an expanded memory manager supported by Windows.
-
- 1. Do you need the EMM386.EXE?
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- If, after installation, you are able to get good scanning results,
- (i.e. good image quality), then you will not need to install the
- EMM386.EXE. If, however, you are unable to get good scanning results
- (i.e. poor image quality), with the PrinScan adapter, AND your PC system
- has more than two megabytes of extended memory, then it is recommended
- that you should install EMM386.EXE to improve the scanning quality.
-
- 2. Installing the EMM386.EXE
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Make sure that your Windows has EMM386.exe and add the following line
- to the config.sys file.
-
- device={Windows' Directory}\emm386.exe ram x=b000-c7ff 1664
-
- for example: device=c:\windows\emm386.exe ram x=b000-c7ff 1664
-
- NOTE: 1. Please be aware that the EMM386.EXE should be used with HIMEM.SYS.
- Other XMS drivers like QEMM386.SYS should not be used.
-
- 2. Recommended setting of expanded memory is 1664K.
-
- 3. System Side Effects after installing the EMM386.EXE
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- 3.1 The extended memory installed will be used as expanded memory
- and thus cannot be used by Windows when running enhanced mode.
-
- 3.2 After installing the EMM386.EXE, Windows may be run only under
- standard mode if the system does not have enough extended memeory.
-
- 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.
- (Examples: 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., IRQ, and
- I/O address settings) used by the PrinScan adapter.
-
- TAKE NOTE THAT INSTALLING SCANKIT UTILITY WILL AUTOMATICALLY
- UPDATE THE CONFIG.SYS FILE FOR THE SCANNER DEVICE LINE.
-
- However, there are instances when you may need to manually
- change the parameters in the scanner device line. For
- example, if you have to change the IRQ setting to avoid a
- hardware conflict.
-
- To edit the CONFIG.SYS file, you will need a text editor.
- If you have DOS 5.0, you could use EDIT.EXE. If you have a DOS
- version below 5.0, you could use EDLIN.COM. Under Windows, you
- could 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 four (4) items. These are:
-
- * Device driver
-
- * 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 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., PRINSCAN.SYS)
-
- In is the IRQ setting
- (e.g., I7 for IRQ7)
-
- An is the I/O address
- (e.g., A378 for I/O address LPT1)
-
- Sn is the scanner type
- (e.g., S2 for HT-105 scanner)
-
-
-
- 3. SETTING THE SCANNER DEVICE LINE PARAMETERS
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- When you edit the scanner device line, there are certain
- precautions that you should take note of especially when
- choosing the IRQ, and I/O address settings for the
- prinscan adapter.
-
- Avoid hardware and software conflicts that can adversely
- affect the performance of the scanner by selecting only the
- available and unused IRQ, and I/O address settings.
-
- Use the following options for setting the scanner device 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 Mustek hand-held scanners:
- ------------ ------------------------------
- PRINSCAN.SYS HT-105 / Matador 105
-
- PSCAN3.SYS HT-105/MATADOR 105, HT-800 TURBO,
- GS-800, CG-6000
-
- 3.2 The IRQ level [In]
-
- When you assign the IRQ setting for the PrinScan adapter,
- make sure it is not used by any other device connected to
- your computer. The available IRQ levels for the PrinScan
- adapter are:
-
- I5 for IRQ 5
- I7 for IRQ 7 (recommended setting)
- I10 for IRQ 10
- I11 for IRQ 11
- I12 for IRQ 12
- I15 for IRQ 15
-
- 3.4 The Scanner type [Sn]
-
- S2 for HT-105 / Matador 105
- S6 for HT-800 TURBO
- S5 for GS-800
- S4 for CG-6000
-
- 3.5 The I/O Address [An]
-
- The PRINSCAN adapter has three available I/O addresses and is
- equipped with a switch for selecting the address setting.
-
- The three available I/O addresses normally are:
-
- * 378 (LPT1)
- * 278 (LPT2)
- * 3BC (LPT3)
-
- Note: The address which is actually used for LPT(1,2 or 3) depends
- upon your system configuration. After installing the PrinScan
- adapter, you can run the ScanTest program to find out what
- address your system actually can use in the scanner device
- line of the CONFIG.SYS file.
-
-
- 3.6 Examples of Scanner Device Lines
-
-
- DEVICE=C:\SCANW\PRINSCAN.SYS I7 S2 A378
- In the example above, the scanner driver PRINSCAN.SYS is
- located in subdirectory SCANW of drive C. The parameters
- used are IRQ 7, and I/O address 378. The scanner
- model is either the HT-105 or the Matador 105.
-
- DEVICE=D:\SCANW\PRINSCAN.SYS I5 S2 A278
- In the example above, the scanner driver PRINSCAN.SYS is
- located in subdirectory SCANW of drive D. The parameters
- used are IRQ 5, and I/O address 278. The scanner
- model is either the HT-105 or the Matador 105.
-
- AFTER YOU HAVE EDITED THE SCANNER DEVICE LINE IN THE
- CONFIG.SYS FILE, REBOOT YOUR COMPUTER TO MAKE SURE THE
- CONFIG.SYS FILE IS READ.
