-
- Version 1.1 release notice
- ==========================
-
- This release provides Scaling Calculator capability.
-
- The Scaling Calculator Command
-
- The Scaling Calculator makes it easy to calculate the scaling percentage
- required to make the scanned image fit a certain size area. With the Scaling
- Calculator, you can set the final scanned image to just the output
- dimensions you need.
-
- To open the Scaling Calculator, click on the Scaling Calculator button to the
- right of the Scaling slider control. The Scaling Calculator box appears.
-
- The top half of the dialog box shows the Height and Width of the current
- image. The current image is the area outlined by the scanning frame when the
- dialog box is opened. The Scaling value shown is the current Scaling
- setting, and the Size is the size of the image file.
-
- The botton half of the dialog box shows the dimensions of the image after
- changes in scaling are made. The Height, Width, Size and Scaling text boxes
- can be set to any value by highlighting the current value and entering a new
- one. The other values are updated automatically to match the new value.
-
- You can enter new values in the Scaling text box until you find the value
- you want, or you can enter a new dimension value in the Height or Width text
- box and use the new Scaling value supplied by the calculator.
-
- Note: The relationship of the With and Height does not change when using the
- Scaling Calculator. If you want to change only the Width or Hieght, you need
- to redraw the scanning frame to a new shape.
-
- The unit of measurement for the dimensions can be set to inches, pixels,
- centimeters or millimeters. Set the unit with the list box in the Image
- Status Controls.
-
- OK To accept the values entered in the text boxes, click on the OK
- button. The value of the scaling control is automatically updated.
-
- Cancel To cancel the changes, click the Cancel button.
-
- Version 1.2 release notice
- ==========================
-
- This release implements internal ADF (Automatic Document Feeder) commands to
- ScanMaker II and ScanMaker IIxe.
-
- Some leading software programs have been tested and confirmed functionally
- well. Program names are listed below.
-
-
- Application Version Supplier
- ====================== ============ =============
- Omnipage Professional Caere
-
- PhotoFinish 1.0 Zsoft
-
- WinRix 1.1 Rix Softworks
-
-
- Version 1.3 release notice
- ==========================
-
- From this release, effects of Filter, Mirror and Invert can be seen in
- the Scanner Display window while performing the Prescan command. Notices
- concerning inconveniencies appeared in the manual on pages 30 and 31 are
- lifted.
-
- Implements the Scan Material command for ScanMaker 35t and ScanMaker 45t.
- This command is valid to ScanMaker II series scanners if the scanner is
- harnessed with Microtek's Transparent Media Adapter.
-
- The Scan Material command
-
- The Scan Material command allows you to scan in the slide (positive film) or
- the negative film.
-
- To choose the type of scan material, click on the Scan Material button aside
- the Scan Mode selection. The Scan Material dialog box appears.
-
- Click to make your selection for the slide (the upper one), or the negative
- film (the lower one). Click OK as acceptance, or Cancel to abandon the
- choices you have made. Appearance of the Scan Material button displays your
- most recent selection.
-
- Note: The Scan Material option is only available for the latest Microtek
- scanner models including ScanMaker 35t Slide Scanner and ScanMaker 45t
- Multiformat Film Scanner. For ScanMaker II series scanners, a transparent
- media adapter is required to enable this function. Operating ScanMaker II or
- ScanMaker IIxe with the transparent media adapter mounted, you have three
- scan material choices: the reflective document, the slide, and the negative
- film.
-
-
- Using the ScanMaker II with non-Twain applications
- ==================================================
-
- The ScanMaker II for the PC comes with Scan Module, software that
- allows the scanner to be used with Twain compliant applications.
- You can also use the scanner with applications that are not yet
- Twain compliant, such as Picture Publisher and WordScan, by
- following these steps.
-
- Non Twain-compliant applications require a file called MSCAN.SYS
- to be copied onto the hard drive and then added to the CONFIG.SYS
- file. However, the newer ScanMaker II scanners cannot but used
- with the MSCAN.SYS driver. To use the ScanMaker II, you must use
- the software driver called MSCSI.SYS, and then get the
- application to work with that software driver. Please run INSTSYS.EXE
- in the floppy disk to install MSCSI.SYS or follow the following instruction.
-
- Part 1
-
- The first step is to copy the file MSCSI.SYS to your hard drive.
- Copy the file to the hard drive's main directory. If your hard
- drive is Drive C, and your floppy is Drive A, then place your
- floppy disk in the drive and enter:
-
- COPY A:\MSCSI.SYS C:\
-
- Once the file is in the root directory, add it to the CONFIG.SYS
- file. To add the new line to the CONFIG.SYS file, you can use any
- text editor such as EDLIN in DOS, or you can use the Windows
- Notepad application. The new line should look like this:
-
- device = MSCSI.SYS
-
- After adding the line to CONFIG.SYS, reboot your computer.
-
-
-
- Part 2
-
- The ScanMaker II for the PC comes with Scan Module, software that
- allows the scanner to be used with Twain compliant applications.
- ScanMaker II scanners use a software driver called MSCSI.SYS.
- Here is how to use the MSCSI.SYS driver with applications that
- are not Twain compliant, and are expecting the MSCAN.SYS driver.
- The MSCSI.SYS driver is fully backward compatible with the
- MSCAN.SYS driver. However, the techniques used for setting the
- address with MSCAN.SYS and MSCSI.SYS are different; MSCAN.SYS
- uses I/O port addresses, such as 200 and 300, while MSCSI.SYS
- uses memory address, like d400 and d000. In addition, MSCSI.SYS
- requires the SCSI ID number information.
- When asked to enter the I/O port address, enter a code number
- that represents the SCSI ID and memory address. For example, if
- your ScanMaker II SCSI ID setting is at 6 and the interface card
- address is set at dc00, you can find the correct address code in
- the following table. Just find where the correct SCSI ID column
- intersects with the row containing the interface card address. In
- this example, the correct code is 60.
- With some applications, you may be required to use a 3 digit
- number for the I/O address, while the number codes in the table
- below are only 2 digits. If this happens, simply put a "2" or "3"
- at the beginning of the code number. So in the above example, the
- "60" would become "260." The extra number at the beginning has no
- effect on the code. It is used only to fool the application.

- Part 3
-
- After you have set up the scanner, you are ready to use the
- ScanMaker II. If the application gives you the option of
- selecting the ScanMaker II, then choose ScanMaker II. If the
- ScanMaker II is not directly supported, you can choose a
- different scanner model, such as the 600Z or the 300Z.
-
- In the case of Picture Publisher, you should select "600Z." If
- you are using WordScan, then choose "Microtek scanners (all)."
-
- Once you have selected your scanner, you will be able to use it
- inside the application.
