transparent media. The UTC is an optional accessory on the Astra

G3/G4 and iMac DV computers and PC computers equipped with
FireWire/IEEE-1394 connectivity. A FireWire/1394 card is
included for use on PC computers and your new scanner.
In addition to being easy-to-connect, this scanner is also easy-to-
use. Simply follow the instructions in this guide and you'll be
scanning in no time. With the powerful software included with your
