- Helper Drivers:
-
- PANAS.EXE uses one of three helper drivers, depending on
- which scanner is being used.
-
- SCANNER HELPER DRIVER
- -----------------------------
- Panasonic 307 MEISCAN7.COM
- Panasonic 506 MEISCAN6.COM
- Panasonic 505 MEISCAN5.COM
-
- These helper drivers are available from Panasonic. The helper
- driver must be run before PANAS.EXE is run. Use the following
- switches when installing the helper driver:
-
- MEISCAN[n].COM /Vxx /Pyyy
-
- Where xx = the interrupt number (50-AF hex)
- yyy = the port address of the card (default is 100)
- n = the version of the helper driver
-
- Note: Because the helper driver cannot be loaded from the CONFIG.SYS
- file, PANAS.EXE cannot either. Both, however, may be loaded
- in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The helper driver must be listed
- before PANAS.EXE.
-
-
- The current list of possible parameters follows:
-
-
- /Cxx = Application Code
- /H = Displays the parameters the scanner driver supports
- /? = Displays the parameters the scanner driver supports
- /U = Unload driver
- /V = Verbose messages and status displays
-
-
- Error/Information Messages
- ==========================
-
- The following list of messages applies to all Revision 6 scanner
- drivers. Not all drivers have all of the messages. For example, if a driver
- does not have a DMA setting, the user will not get an invalid DMA
- message.
-
-
- 'ZSoft Scanner Driver, version 6.00'
- 'Copyright(C) ZSoft Corp. 1991, All rights reserved.'
-
- This message is the sign-on copyright that is displayed whenever the scanner
- driver is loaded or run.
-
- =========
-
- 'Loaded driver found.'
-
- This message is displayed when the scanner driver is already loaded and an
- attempt is made to re-load the driver.
-
- =========
-
- 'Driver loaded, using "x" bytes of DOS memory'
-
- This message is displayed when the scanner driver is loaded into memory and
- informs the user of the amount of memory used by the driver.
-
- =========
-
- 'The scanner driver has been removed from memory'
-
- This message is displayed when the /U parameter is specified to unload
- the scanner driver (TSR mode only).
-
- =========
-
-
- 'Invalid parameter - ?'
-
- This message is displayed when the scanner driver finds a
- command line parameter the driver does not support or recognize.
-
- =========
-
- 'Old format scanner driver currently loaded.'
- 'Remove scanner driver from CONFIG.SYS and reboot'
-
- This message is displayed when the user attempts to load a Revision 6
- scanner driver "over" an old format driver. The user has not removed the old
- scanner driver from CONFIG.SYS and the Revision 6 scanner driver refuses to
