This provides ASDG with additional leverage in enforcing legal action against unauthorized duplication or distribution of ADPro. Be aware that ASDG considers prosecution of copyright infringers part of its obligation of providing a quality product and service to its paying customers. =========================================================================== Determining the Version Numbers Of Your Drivers To help our Technical Support staff better serve you, please obtain the version numbers of your EPSON_SCAN Loader module and EPSON_SCAN_ToDisk program before calling for support. Follow the steps below to do so. For Kickstart/Workbench 1.3 users, load the Loader module into a text viewer and search for the string: $VER: and record the text displayed after the $VER: string. Do this for the ToDisk program if you do not have ADPro nor MorphPlus. For Kickstart/Workbench 2.0 (or later) users who have ADPro or MorphPlus, you can type the following commands from a Shell: cd version Loaders2/EPSON_SCAN full For users who don't have either of these programs, type the following: cd version EPSON_SCAN_ToDisk full =========================================================================== Using the Environment Variables If you find that your scanner software is not working within your system, you might want to try setting some environment variables that control the scanner software. These variables are described below: EPSONNOCACHE This environment variable, when set, will disable the interrupts during the scanning process. EPSONDISABLE This environment variable, when set, will disable the data caches on your 68030 or 68040 during the scanning process. To set an environment variable, type the following at any CLI/Shell prompt: setenv 1 To unset it, type the following: unsetenv The Install-EPSON script can place the 'setenv' commands within your S:user-startup file for you. To do so, select Expert User mode from the initial installation screen. You will only need to use these if you find that the scanner does not seem to work (for whatever reason) with the caches enabled. DO NOT INITIALLY PERFORM THIS OPERATION. FIRST TRY THE SCANNER SOFTWARE WITHOUT THIS VARIABLE DEFINED. For AmigaOS 1.3 users only: To use environment variables, you must have the ENV: assignment assigned to RAM:ENV directory. Otherwise, the 'setenv' command (which initializes this environment variable) won't be able to execute the command. Also, if you want to remove this variable, you will need to manually delete it from the ENV: directory; there is no equivalent for the AmigaOS 2.0 (or later) 'unsetenv' command. If you need technical assistance, please call our technical support department (the phone number is listed in our manual). =========================================================================== Enhanced AGA Preview Screen If you are running the scanner software on an AGA-equipped machine, you will have the benefit of seeing your preview screen in 256 shades of gray. Note that on a 256 shade grayscale screen the scan box and its handles might not show up as clearly--some parts of the box might "disappear" into the image. This is normal and will be addressed in a future version. ===========================================================================
