These instructions assume the following facts:
1. That you have a stable copy of Windows 95 or Windows NT 3.5.1x, currently installed on your computer.
For reference, these instructions are written with Windows 95 commands and menus in mind.
2. That you have a basic understanding of DOS and how to: Copy, Change Directories, Run programs in a
DOS Shell.
3. That you have deleted the following directories and/or file:

How to Create a set of ScanWizard 2.20 BETA 4 Installation disks:
After downloading SW220B4.EXE, you will need to create a set of installable ScanWizard disks. ScanWizard
must be installed from floppy disks; the software cannot be installed from the hard drive. What follows are
instructions on how to create the installable ScanWizard Beta version 2.20 floppy disks.
1. Format three (3) High Density (HD) 3-1/2" diskettes. To these disks, you will be extracting the
SW_DSK1.EXE, SW_DSK2.EXE, and DRIVERS.EXE files. From these disks, you will then install the
32-bit version of the ScanWizard Twain software, which is compatible with Windows 95.
2. Restart in DOS Mode or exit to a DOS Shell (MS-DOS Prompt).
3. Go to the directory where you downloaded and extracted the SW220B4.EXE file.
4. Insert your first disk, labeled SCANWIZARD 2.20/Beta 4 DISK 1, into disk drive A: (assuming that drive
A: is a 3-1/2" floppy drive). Then type the following command:
SWD1B4.EXE -d A:\ (hit the "Enter" key)
5. Insert your second disk, labeled SCANWIZARD 2.20/Beta 4 DISK 2, into disk drive A: (assuming that
drive A: is a 3-1/2" floppy drive). Then type the following command:
SWD2B4.EXE -d A:\ (hit the "Enter" key)
6. Insert your second disk, labeled SCANWIZARD 2.10/Beta 4 DISK 3, into disk drive A: (again assuming
that drive A: is a 3-1/2" floppy drive). Then type the following command:
SWD3B4.EXE -d A:\ (hit the "Enter" key)
7. Insert your third disk, labeled INTERFACE CARD DRIVERS for Windows 95, into disk drive A: (again
assuming that drive A: is a 3-1/2" floppy drive). Then type the following command:
DRIVERS.EXE -d A:\ (hit the "Enter" key)
Installation under Windows 95, or Windows NT vs. 3.5.1:
1. Insert the disk labeled SCANWIZARD 2.20 DISK 1 into drive A:
2. "Click on" the START button from the TaskBar, then "click on" Run. A box will open asking which
file/program to run. Type into the box A:\SETUP.EXE, then "click on" OK.
3. If you run into any problems during installation (e.g.: "DSHELL error"), restart in Safe Mode, and
reinstall the ScanWizard software.
4. During installation, you will be asked which interface card you have installed. Choose the AHA-1502e
(ASPI) card if you have ANY Adaptec SCSI control card(s), which include the following:
AHA-3940, (W) PCI Bus, Twin SCSI Channels
AHA-2940, (W,U,UW) PCI Bus
AHA-2840 VL Bus
AHA-2740, (T,AT,W) EISA Bus, Twin SCSI Channels
AHA-1740 (with recent BIOS, dated 1993 or later *) EISA Bus, Single Channel
AHA-1640 (with recent BIOS, dated 1993 or later *) Micro-Channel Bus
AHA-154x, (C,CF,CK,CP) ISA Bus, Bus Mastering
AHA-1542B,1522 (with recent BIOS, dated 1993 or later *) ISA Bus
AHA-1510.1515 ISA Bus
AVA-1502E (The card supplied by Microtek) ISA Bus
* Note: Original or early Adaptec SCSI cards with BIOS dated 1990 will NOT work correctly
with Microtek scanners.
4. If you have any "non-standard" Adaptec SCSI interface adapter (e.g., Parallel to SCSI, or PCMCIA SCSI,
etc.), please follow the instructions provided with your SCSI adapter and then install ScanWizard for ASPI
(AHA-1502E).
5. If you have a previous version of a Microtek SCSI controller card (e.g., MS-PNR, MS-PCZ2, MS-PCZ),
choose the appropriate card installed in your system.
6. If you are unsure of which interface card you have, shut down and turn off your computer, open the case
and check to see which card you have (cards are labeled).
7. During installation, ScanWizard Setup will prompt you for the additional ScanWizard disks (i.e.,
ScanWizard 2.20 Disk 2).
How to Install the Interface Card Driver for Windows 95:
1. "Click on" the Start button.
2. Insert the disk labeled Interface Card Drivers into your A: drive.
3. Go to the Setting menu, choose Control Panel, and open it.
4. Choose Add New Hardware, "double-click" on it, choose Next, change Automatic detection to NO,
choose Next, scroll through the list of devices, and "double-click" on SCSI Controllers.
5. You will now have a list of Adaptec SCSI controllers. Click on Have Disk. Windows will go to your
ScanWizard Drivers disk on your "A" drive and read the INF file. A list of controllers will then show up
on your screen.
6. Depending on the interface card you have, choose: AVA-1502E, MS-PNR (PCZ-2), or MS-PCZ card.
7. Select the proper address port or address range, depending on how your card is set up. The default values
for the original Microtek SCSI cards are:
AHA-1502E Adaptec Interrupt 10, Input/Output range 0140-015F
MS-PNR (MS-PCZ2) Input/Output range 0280-029F
MS-PCZ Memory Address D400-D7FF
Note: You may have to change these settings in Windows 95 to match the settings of your interface card.
8. Again, take the default and choose Next when given the opportunity, and then finally Finish. When
Windows prompts you to reboot, do so.
After these steps, please print and follow the Install Windows 95 instruction document (file name:
WIN95.RTF). You can use any Word Processor that can read RTF (Rich Text Format) files or
Microsoft WordPad (included with Windows 95) to open and view the file.
