Page 9: System Requirements
1-2 System Requirements System requirements are largely dependent on the “work” performed. By work, we are referring to the task or operation performed using the scanner in conjunction with application software. Because scanners are capable of inputting large amounts of data in relatively short periods of time, they commonly push computer systems to the limits of their capabilities. - Page 10 1-3 Scanner Contents Please check that your scanner package contains all the following items. If there are any missing or damaged parts, please contact your nearest dealer immediately for replace- ment or repair. 1. Power Adapter 2. Cushion 3. Manual, Driver Kit, CD 4.
