Configuration
1. Select the menuitem >Settings/SCSI...<
· Set the SCSI <Device Name> and scanner SCSI <Device ID> according to your
SCSI system configuration . The SCSI <Device ID> must be same as the SCSI ID
which is set with the push-indexing or rotary switch on the rear panel or
the underside of the scanner. Any ID from 0 through 6 is valid as long as
it is not used by any other device on the SCSI bus.
· The <Scan Buffer> should be set as large as possible, because the scanner
performs better with a large buffer. If the buffer is not large enough to
receive the whole scanned image, then the scanner fills this buffer and
stops until the data is processed. Then the scanner continues to scan the
next portions until the whole image is scanned.
· The <File Buffer> size is not as important as the <Scan Buffer> size.
A value of several kBytes may also work well.
· The <File Buffer> and <Scan Buffer> are only allocated during the scanner
access and you should ensure that the specified memory is available at
that time. The memory has to be in one piece.
· The memory types <Scan Memory> and <File Memory> can be modified to speed
up the SCSI performance on certain SCSI host adapters. You may test the
various memory types and choose the one that performs best or reliable.
· Examine your SCSI settings by clicking the <Test Device>-Button and wait
for the delivered information in <Test Results>. ScanTek has checked, if
the given SCSI parameters and the related SCSI device is suitable.
· Click <OK> to accept your new settings or <Cancel> to forget it.
2. Select the menuitem >Dir Paths/Scanned Pics...< and
>Dir Paths/Temp. Files...<
· Set the initial default directory path, where the scanned images or
the temporarily needed files should be located.
· The temp directory should never be located in RAM. You should better set
the <Scanner Buffer> to a higher value to increase the scanning performance.
3. Select the menuitem >Settings/Screenmode<
· You will get a screenmode requester, where you can choose a new screenmode
or change the color depth, ie. the number of screen colors.
· If the screenmode requester does not appear, you must get a newer version
of the ASL library, that supports the screenmode requester.
4. Select the menuitem >Settings/Save Settings<
· You can save your current settings to a file. The default settings file
name is 'ScanTek.cfg'. This file will be read during startup of the program.
· With the menuitem >Settings/Load Settings< you can read a different settings
file.
