Nikon Scan Version 1.43E  (1997. 2)

>> About this installer disk

This disk will install Nikon's 16-bit program files to your hard disk. 
Please use this installer if you are using:
• Windows 3.x or Windows for Workgroups
• Windows 95 and a 16-bit program as the scanner's host application 
  (e.g. Adobe Photoshop 2.5).
If you are using Windows 95 and a 32-bit program as the scanner's host 
application (e.g. Adobe Photoshop 3.05), please use the disk labelled 
"Nikon Scan 95".

>> About new features

• A new scanner driver is included. This driver supports the AX-110 and 
  the AX-210 flatbed scanner.
• A new 32-bit installer has been developed. This new installer contains 
  all Nikon program files needed for Windows 95.

>> About automated continuous scans

Automated continuous scanning is available with Photoshop when the 
LS-1000 scanner and the SF-100 film feeder are used. Holding down the 
Ctrl key while pressing the Scan button on the NikonScan window will 
start a continuous scan.

>> Installation Notes

To install, run "Setup.exe" either from the File Manager, Windows 
Explorer, or from the File/Run command in Program Manager.

When installing in Windows 95, insert the "Nikon Scan 95" disk when 
you are prompted to supply a driver disk for new hardware that has 
been detected.

If you are running Windows 95, attached the scanner to your PC, and 
restarted BEFORE reading this file ( and aren't we all always excited 
about a new piece of hardware ), you MUST...

1. In the Control Panel, open "Add New Hardware". Click the "Next" 
   button and then click "No", when asked to auto-detect new hardware. 
2. When prompted for the hardware type, click on "? Other Devices", 
   then click the "Next" button. Click the "Have Disk" button. 
3. After inserting the Nikon Scan disk and clicking "OK", select the 
   appropriate Scanner model and once again click the "Next" button. 
4. Windows 95 will decompress and copy the appropriate drivers to 
   your system.

The installer will place the Nikon TWAIN source and scanner drivers 
on your system (the Scanner drivers are in a directory called "MAIDMODS") 
Please do not move or rename this folder or your scanner will stop 
working .

>> Known problems with NikonScan

• Some TWAIN Compliant Applications (such as the Adaptec Scanning 
  Utility, which is part of the full EZ-SCSI package and Corel Photopaint) 
  limit the maximum scanned file size to 16 Megabytes. This will be 
  addressed in the next revision of the Nikon Scan TWAIN Source.

• You may have a problem when you try to open Nikon Scan, if you are 
  using a certain version of PhotoShop 3.0. In this case, please copy 
  the new "twain8b.8ba" from the Nikon Scan installer disk into the 
  Adobe PhotoShop "plugins" directory.

• 16-bit Nikon programs can only be used with 16-bit host applications 
  and a 16-bit TWAIN driver.

>> How to use TWAIN sources

Using the Nikon TWAIN source in any Windows application is a two-step 
process. First, you must tell the application which TWAIN source you 
wish to use. For Photoshop, you choose "Select TWAIN Source" from the 
"Acquire" menu. Once you have selected the Source, you can then go back 
to the Acquire menu and select "TWAIN". Please note that the current 
TWAIN source is not 32 bit, so selecting "TWAIN 32" will result in an 
error being reported by Photoshop. Other applications use phrases like 
"scanner setup" or "Source Select" to select a TWAIN source. Please 
refer to your application's documentation for the proper TWAIN selection 
procedure.

In Nikon Control 2.0, the TWAIN source selection dialog is found in 
the "Preferences" item under the "File" menu. If a Nikon Scanner is 
not found during the startup of Nikon Control 2.0, the TWAIN selection 
dialog will display "Not Connected" as the source name, but you will 
still be able to carry out file operations (e.g. open and save).

>> Frequently Asked Questions

Q. I keep getting memory errors when using Nikon Control, but I have 
   plenty of RAM in my machine.

A. Scanning with an autofeeder may require a large amount of disk 
   space as well as system RAM. Try to free more disk space before 
   starting the scan again.
