Please note that: * If you choose Easy Install, the UMAXShare and UMAXChooser won't be installed. * When a dialog box prompts you to select the plug-ins folder, select the Plug-ins folder in PhotoShop. The MagicScan plug-in driver should be stored in the folder you select in this dialog box. 3. After installation, restart your Macintosh. A new folder containing the MagicScan software is created. To know how to use MagicScan, refer to your MagicScan User's Guide for detailed information. Note: If you cannot install MagicScan from a CD-ROM, open the MagicScan Disk Folder and select the folders designated MagicScan Disk 1 thru MagicScan Disk 9 in that order. These folders represent floppies. Access the MagicScan Disk Folder and copy the contents of each folder onto separate diskettes. The contents of each folder, MagicScan Disk 1 thru MagicScan Disk 9, contain exactly the right amount of data for one floppy diskette. Note: If you find the MagicScan plug-in driver is located in the MagicScan 4.0 folder, you need yo drag the MagicScan plug-in driver to PhotoShop's Plug-ins folder.

Remove 'UMAXShare' file from the Extensions folder under System Folder if you have serious problems using a remote scanner through network. 2. For non-network users, remove 'UMAXShare' file from the Extensions folder under System Folder in order to increase MagicScan's performance. 3.
