OFTWARE NSTALLATION
Your scanner comes with the scanner's driver and the task management software
(Plustek MacAction). All of these software applications use approximately 400
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 GB of hard disk space is recommended.
The USB scanner can only operate under the Apple Mac OS X 10.8 / 10.9 / 10.10 /
10.11 operating system.

ARDWARE
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 like the
picture below. 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.
