HP DeskScan II Information
----------------------------------------------
This document contains general information about
the HP DeskScan II application but primarily
it documents issues discovered or resolved after
the documentation was printed.
Topics discussed in this document include:
* Changes the installer makes to:
-AUTOEXEC.BAT
-CONFIG.SYS
-SYSTEM.INI
-DESKSCAN.INI
* Windows NT support
* OS/2 support
* How to remove DeskScan II
* How to install DeskScan II with Norton Desktop
* How to upgrade from an earlier version of DeskScan
* How to control the I/O space reserved for SJIIX.SYS
* Scaling images scanned with a transparency adapter
--------------------------------------------------
Changes to AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, and SYSTEM.INI
1) Adds the directory where DeskScan II is installed
to the PATH statement in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
For example:
PATH=C:\DOS;C:\DESKSCAN;
2) Adds drivers to the CONFIG.SYS file. If you are
installing the HP SCSI card it adds:
DEVICE=C:\DESKSCAN\MINI400I.SYS
DEVICE=C:\DESKSCAN\SJIIX.SYS
If you want to use a SCSI card (ASPI or CAM)
that is already installed in you computer
the DeskScan installer adds only:
DEVICE=C:\DESKSCAN\SJIIX.SYS
3) Adds the following statements to the SYSTEM.INI file
(under the [386Enh] section) if you are running
WINDOWS 3.1:
device=C:\DESKSCAN\WIN400I.386
device=C:\DESKSCAN\HPSCANR.386
4) Copies the following files to the backup
reference diskette:
MCA @631F.ADF
EISA !HWP2080.CFG
--------------------------------------------------
Installer problems
If you add a new Program Manager Group for DeskScan,
do not use parenthesis or square brackets as part
of the name for the group.
--------------------------------------------------
Windows NT Support
DeskScan II version 2.0 is not currently supported
under Windows NT. Please call HP's Automated
Support Access Program at 1-800-333-1917
(or 1-208-344-4809), or your local support
provider for the most current information.
You can also check the HP Peripherals forum on
CompuServe to find the latest information, use
`Go HPPER'
--------------------------------------------------
OS/2 Support
DeskScan II version 2.0 is not currently supported
under OS/2. Please call HP's Automated Support
Access Program at 1-800-333-1917
(or 1-208-344-4809), or your local support
provider for the most current information.
You can also check the HP Peripherals forum on
CompuServe to find the latest information. Select
`Go HPPER'.
--------------------------------------------------
Removing DeskScan II from your computer
Read UNINSTAL.TXT in the \DESKSCAN directory to find
all the changes to your system files caused by
installing the DeskScan II program.
--------------------------------------------------
To install with Norton Desktop
If you are running MicroSoft Windows using Norton
as the shell, you must change the shell to PROGMAN.EXE
before installing the DeskScan software.
How to change the shell:
- Run Windows NOTEPAD and open the SYSTEM.INI file
which is in the \WINDOWS directory.
- In the [boot] section you will find a line that reads
shell=ndw.exe
- Make a copy of this line and insert a ";" [semicolon]
as the first character in the first copy.
- Change the second copy to read:
shell=progman.exe
- Restart Windows
-------------------------------------------------
To upgrade from an earlier version of DeskScan
The DeskScan II, version 2.0, installer automatically
upgrades earlier versions of DeskScan software.
Version 2.0 includes an HP ScanJet driver for ASPI and
CAM SCSI cards. You can use the drivers only with the
HP ScanJet IIc, IIcx, or IIp scanners.
If you already have an ASPI or CAM SCSI card,
the new drivers provide the advantages of using
one less interface card slot and using less
expansion ROM memory space.
When you upgrade to version 2.0, the existing
DESKSCAN.INI file is saved as DESKSCAN.BAK.
If you have calibrated print paths that you
want to save from the previous version of DeskScan,
you can recover them from the DESKSCAN.BAK file.
--------------------------------------------------
Controlling the I/O space reserved for SJIIX.SYS
The HP ScanJet IIcx uses a new SCSI interface card
that automatically re-configures itself when another
adapter card is put in the system. The IIcx card uses
one on the following I/O spaces for data transfer:
280 330
290 340
300 348
310 350
If you want to choose the I/O space MINI400I.SYS uses,
add the following command line option:
DEVICE=C:\DESKSCAN\MINI400I.SYS /SETADDR=<I/O space>
Where <I/O space> is one the above mentioned spaces.
--------------------------------------------------
Scaling images scanned with a transparency adapter
The HP ScanJet IIcx scanner supports scanning from a
transparency adapter.
Under some circumstances while scaling an image
minor defects common to all CCD scanners may become
more noticeable.
If you are confronted with this problem, scan the image
at 50, 100, 150, 200, 300, 400, 600, or 800 dpi. Then,
transform the image to the desired resolution by "resampling"
the image with an image editor, such as Aldus PhotoStyler
or Adobe PhotoShop.
