- CPCEMS.SYS Documentation
-
- CPCEMS.SYS is a DOS device driver that allows the Complete
- PCScanner to be used with PC PaintBrush. If you have at least 1 meg
- of expanded memory this will be the best driver for you to use
- (as opposed to CPCHND.SYS). Dither and Brightness are
- set on the scanner itself. Resolution is dependent on the scanner type:
-
- Scanner Resolution(s) in DPI
- Complete Hand Scanner/400 400,300,200
- Complete Half Page Scanner 200
- Complete Half Page Scanner/400 400,300,200
-
- It is unnecessary to run the bundled software that comes with
- the Complete PC Scanner. Insert CPCEMS.SYS into the CONFIG.SYS file
- using the appropriate options. At boot the driver will respond with
- a message based on the options. When PaintBrush is run, the scanner
- will light up briefly before the tools are drawn on the screen. If this
- happens you are in buisiness. If not, you must power down and re-address
- the dip switches and try again. CPCEMS.SYS does not require the use of
- any interrupts, so don't set them unless you wish to use the bundled
- software that comes with the scanner.
-
- Options are:
-
- Default Complete Hand Scanner/400
- /1 Complete Hand Scanner/400

- If you are using the software that comes with the hand scanner,
- make sure that only one interrupt is set on.
-
- If you are using 386MAX Version 4.06 or less, it may be impossible
- to use the scanner. Qualitas has fixed the problem in Version 4.07.
