                               April 22, 2004

INTRODUCTION
------------

The WIA and Minimal TWAIN driver is intended to be a very simple WIA/TWAIN
interface to the hp scanjet 5530 scanner.  User interface is kept to the 
absolute minimum possible.  No scanning applications are provided; it is 
assumed that the user will provide the applications.

WIA is supported only on Windows XP.  WIA is fully supported, the same as
the standard hp scanning solutions.

TWAIN is supported minimally.  Please read the Limitations section below.


INSTALLATION
------------

Installation can be done either by installing the software or the hardware
first.  Either way, you must have Administrator privileges to install the
driver.

   Software first: 

      Execute Setup.exe in the base directory of the install package.  After
      the setup completes, you may attach your scanner

   Hardware first:

      Attach the scanner.  When the computer prompts for driver software, 
      insert the CD.  The installation will start automatically.

      When performing a Hardware First installation, the installation
      software MUST be on a CD, and the CD MUST have the volume name
      "hp_scanning".

There is no provision for setting where the software will be installed.  It
ALWAYS is installed at C:\Program Files\HP\Scanners\Corporate1.0.
