Chapter I. Installing the Scanner
Before installing your scanner, please verify that you have all of the proper components.
A list of the package contents is provided in the Box Contents section of this guide.
Software Installation Requirements
Your scanner comes with ID recognition software (iKnow) and the scanner's driver. All of
these software applications use approximately 800 megabytes of hard disk space after they
are installed into your computer. To ensure ample room for the installation, as well as for
scanning and saving images, a minimum of 1 gigabyte of hard disk space is recommended.
The USB scanner can only operate under the Microsoft Windows 7 / 8 / 10 operating
system.
Hardware Requirements
This scanner connects to your computer through the Universal Serial Bus (USB), which
supports hot swap. To determine whether your computer is USB‐capable, you must check
the rear of your PC to locate a USB jack that looks the same as the one pictured below. Note
that on some computers, the USB port at the rear of the computer may be occupied and
additional ports may be found on the monitor or keyboard. If you are having trouble in
locating the USB port on your computer, please refer to the hardware manual that came
with your computer.
Upon examination, you should find one or two rectangular USB ports, which usually
appear as shown below.
If you don't find such USB ports on your computer, then you need to purchase a
certified USB interface card to add USB capabilities to your computer.
