 Important points when using the scanner

------------------------------------------------------------------

* The Selector starts when two and more device is connected to the 
  PC and the TWAIN driver is started from the PC. Please choose an 
  appropriate device, and use.
  But, when two and more device is connected to the PC, the reading 
  which the scanning button of the machine was used for may not be 
  able to be done. In this case, connect only one unit to the PC.

* The preview image quality doesn't match the final scan image 
  quality depending on the settings.

* Some applications don't support high resolution scanning.
  In that case, please try reducing resolution.
