Instructions for installing Win 2000 Drivers in Win XP

**NOTE** I have not tested these driver with the 19200
scanner as I have the 9600, they use the same drivers
in all other OS's so shoudl work fine.


Firstly all the files included are simply extracted 
from the standard primax install file pismusbeng.exe

You can run them from the setup file as by running 
the original file but no drivers are sucessfully 
installed in xp

To get the drivers working you need to do the following:
(I apologise for the very simple steps through this
but I don't know how much experience everyone needing
these drivers has)


1, 	Unzip the file (you should ahve done this to be 
	reading this)

2,	Go the CONTROL PANEL

3,	Select the SYSTEM option

4,	Select HARDWARE

5,	Click the DEVICE MANAGER button

6,	Double click the scanner (this should be listed 
	under OTHER DEVICES and have an ! symbol by it)

7,	Select the DRIVER tab

8,	click the UPDATE DRIVER button

9,	Select the ADVANCED wizard option which lets you
	choose a specfic location to look for the 
	drivers	and click NEXT

10,	Select the yop option where you tell windows
	where to look and then use the BROWSE button
	to find your way to the directory you unzipped
	the files too and click next

11, 	The wizard should now bring up a list of two
	drivers to choose from. Both of these work fine
	so select which ever you like and click NEXT

12,	Windows will prompt you that the driver is not
	digitally signed and ask if you wish to continue
	to which you say yes (this may pop up again)

13,	Once the driver is installed you need to click
	FINISH and the driver should be installed okay.

To check the driver has been installed go back to the 
Device Manager screen and the scanner should now be 
listed under Imaging Devices

The scanner should work straight away but you might 
want to restart anyway.

The standard TWAIN interface is pretty basic but
functional enough but you may want to use it in 
conjunction with an editor like Paint Shop Pro or
Photoshop to make sure you can do everything you want to.


I hope this is okay for everyone and that you get your 
scanners working without any problems. 
If you don't understand any of the steps or have a
question please mail me at:

and I will answer them anyway I can. I'm no expert but
used my head to figure this out.

For the record i would like to say that it is a very
lousy thing Primax have done by saying they will no 
longer produce new drivers for these products. it shows
they are a Mickey Mouse company and do not care for their
customers.
I would advise all of you not to purchase any hardware 
from them in the future.

Good Luck

Alain.
