---------------------------------------------------
5. Notes on Two or more scanner devices at same PC.
---------------------------------------------------
On Windows2000, this software does not support multi-device.
If two or more devices are connected to one PC, use version 8.10 of this
software which using ASPI interface.
When using USB interface, this software does not support multi-device.
---------------------------------------------------
6. Notes on duplex-scanning feature
---------------------------------------------------
To use the duplex scanning feature in this software, the application you use
must support the continuous-scanning feature of image data.
Thus, duplex-image data may not be scanned depending on the application, even
though the duplex-scanning is specified.
---------------------------------------------------
7. Notes on scanning-area specification
---------------------------------------------------
Scanning-area can be specified using the 3-type units such as millimeter(mm),
inch, and pixel. However, please note, the scanning area may have an error of
max.32-pixel per one line in each unit.
---------------------------------------------------
8. Notes on paper-jam
---------------------------------------------------
When paper-jam occurs, the error message: "Paper Jam" is displayed.
After the jammed documents was pulled out and the OK button on the error-message
dialogue was pressed, the software becomes input-ready condition, and scanning
is ready to be started.
However, regarding the simplex scanning (duplex-scanning is not specified), in
the case that paper-jam occurs while the top of the document is being scanned,
one extra document may be ejected out of the documents on the tray when pressing
the OK button in the error-message dialogue.
In this case, return the ejected document back to the tray and start to scan
again.
---------------------------------------------------
9. Notes on 256 color and 8 color
---------------------------------------------------
This software supports 256 color and 8 color. We know that there are some
software applications do not provide support for these two functions. They are
Adobe Photo Shop 5.0 and Adobe Acrobat 5.0 which produce a all black image.
We recommend you to use Image Professional 2.6 or Imaging on Windows OS and
ScandAll2001 V.4.0 (or greater) for these two color features. Or simply not use
256 color and 8 color if you do not need to.
---------------------------------------------------
10.Notes on Automatic Page Size Detection
---------------------------------------------------
When Halftone, SEE or Automatic Separation scan mode selected with Automatic
Page Size Detection turned on,
It depends on whether white/black pixel and paper size detected the time while
scanning.
If the while pixel is detected, it usually produces correct image as expected.
Otherwise, it doesnot produce correct image which may has a black frame
surrounded.
It is the nature of Halftone, SEE and Automatic Separation image which filled
with Black/White pixels and is also the limitation of Automatic Page Size
Detection function.
---------------------------------------------------

13. Notes on SCSI BIOS setting
---------------------------------------------------
Also, when using the software, the setting for DISCONNECT on SCSI board must be
