7 PC SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS Scanners are capable of inputting large amounts of data in relatively short periods of time. This can push your computer system to the limits of its capabilities. This means that you will need to evaluate the systems capabilities based on your intended scanning requirements. Your evaluation of system capability will need to consider processing speed, computer memory (RAM), and hard disk storage. Major factors to consider are scan type and resolution. High resolution gray scale scans are much more demanding than Half-Tone scans for both processing speed and memory. Minimum System Requirements when used with Windows 2000 and XP: Microfilm ScanPro 1000 Recommended 2GHZ Pentium, or AMD Higher Windows 2000, XP same 1GB Memory Higher 100 GB available hard disk space Higher SVGA/XSVGA monitor (Minimum Screen Resolution Setting 1028 x 600 dpi) same CD ROM reader same We have included a FireWire card with your purchase, we highly recommend that you use this card.
