- MICROTEK.EXE
-
- The Microtek scanner driver is a Revision 6 scanner driver
- (see REV6.DOC for more information) providing black and white
- and gray scale scanning for current products and
- 3-pass 24 bit color scanning for Revision 6 compliant products.
-
- The MICROTEK.EXE scanner driver is used for the following Microtek
- scanners:
-
- 200A, 200C, 300A, 300C, 300G, 300Z, 400G, 600G, 600Z, 800G, and 800Z
-
- The Microtek scanner driver requires the scanner driver MSCAN.SYS.
- supplied by Microtek. MSCAN.SYS should be loaded before the driver.
-
- You can run MICROTEK.EXE from your CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT, or
- other batch file. To manually add the device driver to your
- CONFIG.SYS, use a text editor to type the entry as it appears
- below. Be sure to include a path if the scanner driver is not
- in your root directory. Remember to include additional parameters
- when necessary.
-
- CONFIG.SYS Entry
- -----------------
- device=MISCAN.SYS
- device=MICROTEK.EXE
-
- You may also need to add an application code parameter to the
- MICROTEK.EXE line of your CONFIG.SYS entry depending on which
- program you are using. If the parameter is omitted, the
- application will still work, but may be missing some features.
- PhotoFinish, Publisher's Paintbrush version 2.02 or higher, and
- PC Paintbrush 5+ do not require an application code.
-
- If you are using ...add this parameter
- this program... to your CONFIG.SYS entry.
-
- PC Paintbrush Plus (DOS) /C1
- PC Paintbrush Plus (Windows) /C2
- PC Paintbrush IV Plus (DOS) /C3
- Publisher's Paintbrush (Windows) /C4
-
- The MICROTEK.EXE scanner driver does support variable resolution.
- However, the horizontal and vertical values must be equal or
- you may experience unpredictable results.
-
- The commands provided by the Microtek scanner driver are listed
- below in the example of the /H parameter.
-
- Valid commands:
-
- /Cxx = application Code
- /H = display this Help text
- /? = display this help text
- /Oxxxx = I/O port (hex value)
- /Px = I/O Port (0-5)
- /U = Unload driver
- /V = Verbose messages and status displays
- /0x = Scanner head speed (1-5), where 1 is fastest (default is 3)
- /1 = Turn on DMA channel 1 (default is normal I/O)
-
- /0
- ==
-
- This command allows the user to select the head speed for scanning.
- Slowspeeds give better quality but require more patients.
- /01 is the fastest, /05 is the slowest and /03 is the default.
-
- /1
- ==
-
- The /1 command turns on DMA. Normally the Microtek uses simple
- I/O to send and receive data to/from the scanner. When /1 is
- used the scanner board will use DMA channel 1 for I/O (no other
- channel is available).
-
-
- The "built in" port addresses (/P or /O parameters) for the Microtek
- are as follows:
-
- 0 - 100h ex: MICROTEK /p0 or MICROTEK /o100
- 1 - 120h ex: MICROTEK /p1 or MICROTEK /o120
- 2 - 200h ex: MICROTEK /p2 or MICROTEK /o200
- 3 - 220h ex: MICROTEK /p3 or MICROTEK /o220
- 4 - 300h ex: MICROTEK /p4 or MICROTEK /o300
- 5 - 320h ex: MICROTEK /p5 or MICROTEK /o320
-
- The hardware settings for the Microtek are as follows (there are several
- scanner boards available that can drive the Microtek scanners):
-
- MS-PCX and MS-PCY cards:
-
- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 switch
- a 100 on off on on on on on on
- d 120 on off on on off on on on
- d 200 off on on on on on on on
- r 220 off on on on off on on on
- s 300 off off on on on on on on
- 320 off off on on off on on on
-
- MS-PCE card:
-
- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 switch
- a 100 on on on on on on off on
- d 120 on on on off on on off on
- d 200 on on on on on on on off
- r 220 on on on off on on on off
- s 300 on on on on on on off off
- 320 on on on off on on off off

- Microtek Messages
- =================
-
- 'Checking scanner...'
-
- The checking message is displayed during initialization of the
- scanner. Since this operation might take a few seconds the
- scanner driver is informing the user, rather that look like it
- has "locked up".
-
-
- 'Supporting: ???????????'
-
- This message is displayed upon successful initialization of the Microtek
- scanner. The name and model of the scanner found will be displayed.
-
-
- Microtek Error Messages
- =======================
-
- 'MSCAN.SYS not found! Driver NOT loaded.'
-
- This message is displayed when the scanner driver can not find the "helper"
- driver (MSCAN.SYS provided by Microtek, Inc.). The Microtek scanner
- driver requires that MSCAN.SYS be loaded before it is loaded.
-
-
- 'Invalid speed specified.'
-
- This message is displayed when the user specifies an invalid value
- for the /0 parameter.
-
-
- 'This Microtek scanner NOT supported!'
-
- This message is displayed when the scanner driver detects a Microtek scanner
- model that is unknown.
-
-
- 'Scanner not responding (do you have the right address?)'
-
- This message is displayed at initialization time if the scanner driver
- cannot successfully communicate with the scanner.
-
-
- 'Error communicating with MSCAN.SYS (????)'
-
- This message is displayed when an error occurs while sending or receiving
- information from MSCAN.SYS (the Microtek supplied driver). An error code is
- included in the message to help identify the problem.
