Scanner Software Installation

After you set up and connect your scanner as described in the Scanner

Basics book, follow the steps in this booklet to install the scanner

software and creative software on a Windows 98 system. Do not

follow the steps in the book.

If You’re Running Windows 98 . . .

Depending on how your computer system was originally set up, you

may be asked to insert your Windows 98 operating system CD-ROM

during scanner installation. Please have your Windows CD-ROM

handy in case you need it.

Note: If the Startup window opens at any time while you’re following

these steps, click the close box in the upper right corner to close it.

1. Turn on your scanner first; then turn on your computer. A screen

appears saying that your system has detected new hardware. The

software for the SCSI board (SCSI controller) is automatically

installed. Then you must install the scanner software.

Note: If your system doesn’t automatically detect the SCSI board,

see page 68 of the Scanner Basics book for troubleshooting help.

If the following dialog box appears, click Cancel and continue
