• You can install the USB WIA Driver if you are using Windows Me/XP. In addition,
you should read "USB WIA Driver Limitations" below before installing the driver.
USB WIA Driver Limitations
• When you have set the WIA Driver to start a particular application program
when you connect the camera, the program may cause an error message similar
to the following to appear: "TWAIN data source not found. Reinstall the scanner
software." If this happens, select [WIA-camera model] in the application
program as the TWAIN device. Your camera model name will appear in place of
the "camera model" in the brackets above.
• Windows Me users cannot use ZoomBrowser EX's auto start function when the
USB WIA Driver is installed.
• USB TWAIN Driver is the driver software for Windows 98 and Windows
2000 (not Windows Me) that is required to load images into TWAIN-
compliant programs, such as ArcSoft PhotoImpression and ArcSoft
VideoImpression. Since it is not a stand-alone program, you must always
use it by starting it from within a TWAIN-compliant program.
• USB WIA Driver can only be used with the USB interface in Windows
Me/XP. When you connect the camera to the Windows Me computer
with a USB cable, the Windows Scanners and Cameras Wizard will open
automatically to assist with downloading. This driver also allows you to
use Windows Explorer to display the camera's thumbnail images on the
computer and download images with standard file copying procedures.
