ScanSuite  Software  Reference
A. Introduction
ScanSuite
 is the companion software for Microtek’s
ScanWizard scanner driver program. While
ScanWizard offers various controls for scanning and
image adjustment, the ScanSuite utility integrates
scanning functions with other common everyday
tasks like printing, faxing, and OCR text scanning.
Executing each function in ScanSuite is simply a
few clicks away, and you can always bring up
ScanWizard to customize your scanner settings.
B. Before you begin
Before running ScanSuite, check to make sure that
these items have been installed and are ready to run:
•    Your Microtek scanner and ScanWizard
•    Your printer (so that you can execute ScanSuite's
Copier function)
•    Your fax modem with its software program (to
execute ScanSuite's fax function)
•    Your OCR application (to execute ScanSuite's
OCR function)
C. Installation
1.  Check your devices
The green 
Ready
 indicator on your scanner
should stay lit. Check that the devices you want
to use with ScanSuite (such as a fax modem or
printer) are powered up.
2.  Install software
       ScanSuite is part of a full complement of
software included with your scanner, and all
software is on your Microtek scanner CD-
ROM.  For more details on installation, refer to
the printed documentation included with your
scanner.
3.  Launch ScanSuite
       Ther e are three ways to launch ScanSuite:
        • During installation of ScanSuite, you will
have the option of allowing the program to
make a ScanSuite "alias" for you on the
desktop. If you chose to have this option during
installation, clicking on the alias is one way of
launching ScanSuite.
       •  Another way to launch ScanSuite is to start it
from Windows.
       •  A third way is for scanners with a "Go"
button to press the "Go" button once and hold it
down for 1 to 2 seconds and then releasing it .
This will then bring up the ScanSuite Scan
Panel (shown on the next page).
