efore 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 the image-editing software (Presto! ImageFolio),
document management software (Presto! PageManager), the scanner's driver,
QuickScan Setting and LaserSoft SilverFast software. All of these software
applications use approximately 160 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 260 megabytes of hard disk space is
recommended.
The USB scanner can only operate under the Microsoft Windows 2000
Professional, XP, Vista or 7 operating system.

Hardware Requirements

This scanner connects to your computer through the Universal Serial Bus (USB)
which supports hot Plug and Play. 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.
