=======================
Hardware System Support
=======================
   The Founder Z630 TWAIN Data Source is supported on 
Microsoft's 32-bit Windows/Intel x86 or compatible PCs with the 
following minimum system requirements:

            - 300 MHz Pentium

            - 128 MB of RAM

            - 200 MB of free disk space

========================
Operating System Support
========================
   The Founder Z630 TWAIN Data Source has been tested on 
systems using the following Microsoft Operating Systems:

	Windows 98 Second Edition (IEEE 1394 and USB)
	Windows ME (IEEE 1394 and USB)
	Windows 2000 (IEEE 1394 and USB)

=============
TWAIN Compliance
=============
	The Founder Z630 TWAIN Data Source is TWAIN 1.8 
compliant.

==================
Contents of the CDROM
==================
	This ReadMe.txt file is located on your installation 
CDROM in the "RFSTwain Installer\Disk1" folder.  For best results 
when printing with Notepad, select "File/Page Setup" and set 
"Orientation" to "Landscape".

The User's Manual is included on the installation CD in the folder 
named Manuals.  Each supported language is in its own folder.  
Along with each manual is a language specific Adobe Acrobat 
Reader version 5.0 installer.  After installing Acrobat Reader 
version 5.0, you must reboot your machine for Acrobat Reader to 
function properly.

============
Installation
============
You must INSTALL THIS SOFTWARE FIRST, before connecting your 
film scanner to your PC System.  This should be done 
whether you will be using the USB or the IEEE 1394 interface.

To install the Founder Z630 TWAIN Data Source, place the CDROM 
into your CDROM drive.  The CDROM is set up to automatically run 
Launch.exe, which runs a CDROM Browser utility.  Click the button 
labeled "Install Founder Z630 Data Source" to run the installer.  
If Launch.exe does not run automatically, click Start and choose 
Run.  At the prompt enter the following:

			       D:\Launch.exe

where D is the CDROM drive letter.  You can also navigate to the 
root of the installation CDROM and double click on the Launch.exe 
file.

It is recommended that you uninstall any previous versions of the 
Founder Z630 Data Source before installing this new 
version.  To uninstall a previous version, click 
Start/Settings/Control Panel, then double click Add/Remove 
Programs.  On the Add/Remove Programs Properties dialog, 
Install/Uninstall tab, select the previous version of the Founder Z630
TWAIN Data Source, then click the Add/Remove button.

If the installation files are copied from the CDROM, to a network 
drive, the installation may fail with the message "The parameter 
is incorrect." if the network path to the installation directory 
is too long.  This problem can be resolved by moving the 
installation directory to a location with a shorter network path.

Unsupported Features

Photoshop Actions are not available within any TWAIN Data 
Source dialog, including the Founder Z630 TWAIN Data 
Source user interface.

Functional Clarifications
=========================
This section contains updates and information regarding your 
Film Scanner that does not appear in your User's 
Manual.

1. To ensure that the prescan image in the Founder Z630 software 
matches the final scan, please take the following steps:  
Open Photoshop, without invoking the Film Scanner software, and 
navigate to the File>Color Settings>RGB Setup menu.  Make sure
that the "Display Using Monitor 
Compensation" box is not checked and click the OK button.  
This ensures that Photoshop does not apply an additional 
profile to the image after it has been scanned.

Launch the Founder Z630 TWAIN Data Source and make 
sure the monitor and output profiles selected in the 
Settings tab are the same.  (Selecting the Kodak sRGB 
Display profile should produce satisfactory results in 
most cases).  The monitor profile controls how the prescan 
image is rendered and the output profile controls how the 
final scan is rendered.  If these profiles are the same, the 
prescan shown in the Founder Z630 TWAIN Data Source should match 
the final scan.

2. The black, gray and white eyedroppers adjust the brightness 
and contrast  of an image such that the new brightness of the 
point chosen by the user is either black, mid-scale gray or 
white.  In the case of the gray eyedropper, the point chosen 
by the user will now have a brightness level similar to that 
of a mid-scale gray although the point itself may not become 
gray (have equal code values).  


3. In your User's Manual state that Before and 
After images on the Color Balance and Levels and Curves tabs 
will be identical when you enter the respective tab.  This is 
only true if you have made no adjustments to the image with the 
black/gray/white balance eyedroppers, the color tools, or the 
tone curve tools.  If you make image adjustments, the After 
image will show the cumulative effect of the adjustments, while 
the Before image will maintain the look of your original scan.

6. When scanning color negative or B&W negative filmstrips, be 
sure the strip has less than one half of the frame completely 
exposed (i.e. film is totally black).  The scanner's "film 
minimum density measurement" will fail, as the scanner "sees" 
a full frame of black film.  Trim the film strip so that when 
it is inserted into the scanner, the first frame has some 
transparent leader.

Similarly, a problem might exist if you exit the TWAIN Data 
Source when the last frame of your filmstrip is near the exit 
port of the scanner.  If you start the TWAIN Data Source 
again, the scanner will sense a filmstrip in the scanner and 
perform the film minimum density measurement.  In this case, 
there will not be a full frame of film below the scanner head 
and the scanner will incorrectly measure the light source.  
If this happens, eject the filmstrip and reload it.  A new 
minimum density measurement will be performed.
