3. Some General Tips on Usage
o When installing this new version of Network ScanGear, do so without
uninstalling or deleting any older versions of Network ScanGear that are on
your computer.
o If you experience an out-of-memory error or similar error
during scanning, or if you notice a reduction in scanning speed
when you are scanning a large number of images or an especially
large image, follow these guidelines:
(1) Ensure that you have sufficient storage space on your hard
disk by deleting unneeded files, or by adding an additional
hard disk to your system.
(2) Scan the images at a lower resolution setting.
(3) Add memory (RAM) to your system.
(4) Set the virtual memory setting for the largest possible
setting allowed by your system.
o Always close the Network ScanGear main window before you exit the
parent application program.
o If system resources diminish while using Network ScanGear with
Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003/Vista, the main window display of Network
ScanGear may become corrupted.
o The number of pixels displayed in the Network ScanGear main window may
differ slightly from the number of pixels displayed in the parent
application program.
o With some applications the Network ScanGear main window or the dialog box
showing the scanning progress may cover the messages displayed by the parent
application program in the background and it may appear that scanning or
acquisition by the parent application program has been interrupted. In this
case, click the parent application program window to bring the windows to
the foreground.
o When installing or uninstalling Network ScanGear for Windows 2000/XP/
Server 2003, it is necessary to log in as Administrator. Users other than
Administrator cannot install or uninstall this driver.
o When a Restricted User uses Network ScanGear under Windows 2000/XP/Server
2003/Vista, install Network ScanGear in the folder where the Restricted
User can overwrite.
