Installing a Scanner

Before you install a scanner driver, you may need to install hardware for your scanner, such as a SCSI adapter for a SCSI scanner.

For instructions on how to install the scanner hardware, consult the hardware manufacturer's documentation.

After you verify that the computer has the correct interface installed, connect the scanner to the computer, and then install the scanner driver. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Restart your computer. If you use a Plug and Play or USB scanner, Windows 98 detects and installs the appropriate drivers during Windows startup. If the scanner is not detected during Windows startup, continue to the next step.
2. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
3. Double-click Add New Hardware, click Next, click Next, and then click Next again.
4. When the Add New Hardware Wizard completes the detection process, click Finish. If you are prompted to restart your computer, do so.
After you install the scanner driver, you need to install the software and Twain drivers included with your scanner. To install this software, please consult the manufacturer's documentation included with the software.
