Some General Tips on Usage o If an older version of Network ScanGear is installed on your computer, uninstall it before installing the new version. o If you experience an out-of-memory error or similar error during scanning, or if you notice a reduction in scanning speed when you are scanning a large number of images or an especially large image, follow these guidelines: (1) Ensure that you have sufficient storage space on your hard disk by deleting unneeded files, or by adding an additional hard disk to your system. (2) Scan the images at a lower resolution setting. (3) Add memory (RAM) to your system. (4) Set the virtual memory setting for the largest possible setting allowed by your system. o Always close the Network ScanGear main window before you exit the parent application program. o If system resources diminish while using Network ScanGear with Windows NT 4.0/2000, the main window display of Network ScanGear may become corrupted. o The number of pixels displayed in the Network ScanGear main window may differ slightly from the number of pixels displayed in the parent application program. o With some applications the Network ScanGear main window or the dialog box showing the scanning progress may cover the messages displayed by the parent application program in the background and it may appear that scanning or acquisition by the parent application program has been interrupted. In this case, click the parent application program window to bring the windows to the foreground. o When installing or uninstalling Network ScanGear for Windows NT4.0/2000/XP, it is necessary to log in as Administrator.
