[. . . ] These three numbers, which are captured during the configuration scan, are 1) the SCSI Adapter the scanner is (was) attached to; 2) the channel associated with it and; 3) the SCSI ID of the scanner. If two same-model machines are connected to the same PC with different SCSI IDs or on different SCSI adapters, the configuration utility will actually create two separate data sources/drivers. This is done to ensure that multiple scanners of the same model can be attached and managed at one time without any conflicts. Once a driver is installed it will remain on the system even if the applicable scanner is later disconnected. Any driver with the hardware currently not attached or detected will be shown with a red X through the scanner icon. Refresh ­ The Refresh button can be pressed to launch the TWAIN configuration utility and to rescan the SCSI bus. Add - The Add button is not currently used with the Minolta TWAIN drivers. Remove ­ The Remove button will become active whenever a listed driver is selected and the associated hardware of that driver is currently connected and detected. Once a driver is selected you can press the Remove button to delete that driver from your system. Properties - Pressing this button will cause the Scanner Settings Window to launch. The Scanner Settings Window will look exactly the same as the Driver's User Interface with the exception being that the Scan button is replaced with an OK button. The Scanner Settings Window can be used to set the default settings for applications that do not provide direct access to the Driver's User Interface. (See the driver User Interface section for more details on how to configure the scanner). Close ­ The Close button will close the Status Window and complete the configuration process. Although the TWAIN Configuration utility will automatically run during installation, you will likely wish to launch it again when a new scanner is attached or to do routine maintenance. To access the utility, simply locate and select it in your Start Menu bar. It can typically be found in the Programs/Minolta TWAIN Data Sources menu. The Minolta Sample TWAIN Application Installed with the driver is a sample scanning application. Please note that this application has no viewing capabilities and will require other software for viewing a scanned image. It simply executes a scan and stores the image as a TIFF file. It can be an excellent tool for confirming the functionality of the driver should you experience problems running the driver in other scanning applications. Section 6 ­ Overlay Manager User's Guide The Overlay Manager software included with the Minolta TWAIN driver is intended for use only when using the MS 6000 or MS 7000 in conjunction with the MSP 3000 high-speed, direct-connect laser printer. The overlay software allows you to design a bitmap image that can be automatically included on output delivered from the MSP 3000 printer. Although a PC is required for configuration and, when needed, monitoring, no functionality exists to annotate or overlay any image that is scanned to file. The Overlay software can be used to configure and manage a number of direct-print MS 6000 or MS 7000. If numerous direct-print MS-series scanners are attached to the same PC, the overlay software can store settings for each attached scanner separately however only one scanner can be monitored at a time. [. . . ] Scan Left / Scan Right Buttons ­ When the PS 3000 is set to scan in Dual Scan Mode these two buttons will become enabled and the "Scan" Action Button (see the Action Buttons section below) will change to a "Scan All" button. The Left/Right buttons can then be used to scan only one side of the total scan area rather than scanning both sides at once as would happen with the Scan All button. Brightness Controls This set of controls allows users to change the composition of the scanned image as detailed below. Please note that when using the slider bar you may notice some slight lag or resistance - this is normal and is due to the bi-directional communication between the driver and scanner. Automatic Brightness ­ Check this box if you wish to have the scanner perform a prescan and apply an appropriate brightness setting based on the detected original. Automatic brightness will assume an original of normal exposure. [. . . ]
