6.2.3.2 Step 2: Installing the Twain Driver
Insert the Twain driver disk one, or Driver CD, into your floppy disk or CD ROM
drive. (Drivers may ship on either CD or floppy disk.) From the Windows 95/98-task
bar select Start, Run, type a:\setup, Enter (or OK). (For CD-ROM use the drive letter
for your CD, which is often letter d.) You will see a dialog box with two questions: 1)
Which COM port would you like to use, and 2) what baud rate do you prefer.
Note: If you have selected an inappropriate COM port, or a baud rate that is not reliable, you can
always change the settings after the driver has been installed by either reinstalling the driver or using
the controls within the driver user interface. (Refer to Sections 6.2.5.7, and 6.2.5.6)
Click next and follow any screen instructions, inserting disk two when prompted.
When the installation is complete you will get a message to that effect.
Note: If for some reason you wish to uninstall the V2800 driver, go to the Win 95/98 Task bar and
click Start, Settings, Control Panel. Double-Click on Add/Remove Programs. From the
Install/Uninstall tab, look for ViviCam 2800 Twain Driver. Select ViviCam 2800 and click on
Add/Remove.
6.2.3.3 Step 3: Installing the Application Software
U-Lead Photo Express Version 2.0 Special Edition. If you wish to install the
included Twain-compliant software application, insert the CD-ROM into your CD-
ROM drive. If your computer is set to autorun, the CD will start automatically. If it
does not run automatically, go to the Windows 95/98 task bar and click on Start, Run,
type "d:\setup.exe", and press Enter (or OK). (If your CD drive is identified by a
drive letter other than d:, use that letter instead.) Follow the screen instructions to
complete the installation.
Note: Your computer must be setup to display at least 16-bit color. This setting is also called 65,000
colors, or High Color. To check your display settings click on Start, Settings, Control Panel. Double-
click on the "Display" icon to bring up a dialog box entitled "Display Properties". Click on the
Settings tab. In the lower left-hand corner of this dialog box look for a sub box, titled "Colors." The
pull down menu will enumerate the options available on your PC. There must be a setting for High
Color (16 bit) or better. In the lower right hand side of this same dialog box there is another sub box
called "Screen area". You must be able to adjust your screen area to 800 by 600 pixels using the slider
bar, without loosing the color setting. You must be able to have the combination of 16 bit and 800 x
600 in order to install Photo Express 2.0 SE. If you cannot achieve this combination, you must use
another Twain application.
Using the pull-down menu, select the
COM port based upon your
examination conducted in step 1.
Select a Baud rate. A higher baud rate
will result in faster image transfers, but
with the risk of connection errors and
disruptions. If you have a relatively
new computer try using a rate of
115,200. 57,600 bps is slower, but
often represents a good compromise
between reliability and speed.
