The Scanner Checkout Program:   FSCANCHK.EXE

The FSCANCHK.EXE file is used to check whether you have any
devices assigned to DMA Channel 1 or 3. It is a good idea to run
this application if you are not familiar with your system
configuration.

NOTE: FSCANCHK.EXE checks what is assigned to DMA Channel 1 or 3
ONLY.

To use FSCANCHK.EXE, simply type FSCANCHK at the A:\ prompt with
the driver diskette inserted. The application goes and check to
see if anything is assigned to DMA Channel 1 or 3.

If any conflicts are found, the application responds with a to
message notify you. If there are no conflicts a message notifies
you which DMA channel is available.

You need to install The Complete PC Scanner driver before
installing the scanning and
editing application.

Installing CPCFSCAN.SYS

To install the scanner driver:

Insert The Complete PC Scanner Driver Diskette into your floppy
drive.

Change to the drive that contains the diskette (normally drive
A:).

Type INSTALL at the prompt.

You will be prompted to accept the default I/O address and DMA
Channel settings (Y/N)?

If you accept the default settings (Y) the application will
automatically set:

                  I/O address                3E0
                   DMA Channel                1

If these settings conflict with other board settings in your
computer, specify no (N).  You can then enter the selection
number that corresponds to the I/O Address (1-8), and the DMA
Channel selection (1 or 3).  Refer to your scanner Installation
and User's Guide for switch setting options.

You will then be prompted to specify in which drive you inserted
The Complete PC Scanner Driver diskette.

The program will copy the scanner driver into your root
directory, and modify your CONFIG.SYS to contain the device
driver information you selected.

NOTE: Using INSTALL.EXE automatically modifies your CONFIG.SYS.
If you would prefer to manually add the scanner device driver to
your CONFIG.SYS and copy the CPCFSCAN.SYS file into your root
don't use the INSTALL.EXE application.

You MUST re-boot before installing the editing application.
