Refer the to manufacture's detailed instructions for installing
your scanner. They provide the most precise information for
setting up your scanner. The basic steps for installing a scanner
are:
1. Install the correct scanner interface card (if one is necessary) in
the PC bus. Note that many scanners simply plug into the PC's
parallel port, universal serial bus (USB), or occasionally the
standard serial port.
2. Hook up your scanner to the interface card or standard port with
the correct cable, and turn on the scanner then turn on your PC.
3. Install the system-level scanner driver (.sys) file, or TWAIN
source driver on your PC's hard disk, as directed by the scanner
documentation.
4. Test the scanner using software tools provided by the
manufacturer. After the scanner is functioning, go on to install
and link your scanner to TextBridge software.
If your scanner runs independently of TextBridge, you can be
sure that it is functioning correctly. Setting it up to run with
TextBridge should then be a simple matter.
