Cautions for Windows Vista Users --------------------------------------------------------------------- o ScanSnap Organizer does not support environment-dependent characters (unicode). Do not use environment-dependent characters (unicode) for the following: - the name of a folder to install ScanSnap Organizer - the name of a ScanSnap Organizer user - characters including the name of folders and files handled in ScanSnap Organizer --------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Cautions Concerning Installation --------------------------------------------------------------------- o To use ScanSnap Organizer's Search function, verify that one of the following operating systems and the specified version of Adobe(R) Acrobat(R) are installed: Microsoft(R) Windows(R) 2000 SP2 or later Microsoft(R) Windows(R) XP SP1 or later Microsoft(R) Windows Vista(R) Adobe(R) Acrobat(R) 7.0 or later (When the operating system you are using is Windows Vista, install a version supported by Windows Vista before using this program.) o If a path name to an installation folder exceeds 121 characters, such a path name is automatically shortened. When installing ScanSnap Organizer, use up to 121 characters for a path name to the installation folder. o When installing ScanSnap Organizer on Windows, first log on as a user with administrator privileges, and then install ScanSnap Organizer. o When installing ScanSnap Organizer in Windows Vista, you will see a "User Account Control" dialog box. Click the [Continue] button on the dialog box. o Do not use any of the following characters in the name of the installation folder. ScanSnap Organizer may not function properly if these characters are used. / ; , . * ? " < > | o Specify a folder on a local disk as the installation folder. o The following problem may occur if you install Adobe(R) Acrobat(R) 8.0 in a folder with a long pathname in Windows Vista: When files handled in ScanSnap Organizer are updated (for example, when a password is set for a file or pages are deleted with Adobe(R) Acrobat(R)), the performance of displaying images slows down in ScanSnap Organizer. It is confirmed that this problem can be avoided by doing the following: Install Adobe(R) Acrobat(R) 8.0 in the default folder or a folder with a pathname shorter than the default pathname displayed in Installer. Therefore, when the operating system you are using is Windows Vista, install Adobe(R) Acrobat(R) 8.0 in the default folder or a folder with a pathname shorter than the default pathname displayed in Installer to avoid the said problem. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Cautions Concerning the Operation --------------------------------------------------------------------- o Only local folders can be specified as the My ScanSnap folder (when the operating system you are using is Windows Vista, the folder name will be the "ScanSnap folder"); to specify it, select "Tools" -> "Options" in ScanSnap Organizer. If you want to use a networked folder, create a "Shortcut to folder", which linked to that folder. o ScanSnap Organizer creates cache data to improve display performance. Cache data is used for PDF files that can be displayed as thumbnails and allocated in a hidden folder ".organizer", which is created in a folder in which the PDF files exist. Cache data is created only for the thumbnailed pages. Do not delete the cache data. Otherwise display performance is affected. Due to the specifications, the display performance of PDF files that are saved in a read-only device, such as a CD-ROM, is not improved because cache data cannot be created for such PDF files. In order to improve the performance, copy the PDF files to a hard disk, and then write them to a writable CD together with the created cache data. Cache data is not removed automatically even if this application is uninstalled. Delete it manually if necessary. o A file with a path name longer than 220 characters (single-byte) cannot be handled. Rename a path so that the path name does not exceed 220 characters. o If the resolution is reduced with a Pop-up Thumbnail displayed, the view portion of the Pop-up Thumbnail may extend off screen. In this case, change the resolution to the previous setting once, move the Pop-up Thumbnail to the upper left on screen, and then reduce the resolution again. o If a printer is set to Adobe Distiller or Adobe PDF, the following error occurs when a password-protected PDF file is printed. This is an error due to Adobe(R) Acrobat(R) specifications. This PostScript file was created from an encrypted PDF file. Redistilling encrypted PDF is not permitted. %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%% %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %% o When you try to use the Search function in Windows Vista, you may see a "User Account Control" dialog box. If you are logged on to the system with an Administrator account, click the [Continue] button, and if you are not, select an Administrator account, enter a password, and then click the [OK] button. o When you try to use the search function in Windows XP or Windows 2000, you may see a message "Unable to use the Search function.". If so, log off once and log in as a user with administrator privileges, and then start ScanSnap Organizer. o While you are viewing network-stored PDF files with ScanSnap Organizer Viewer; once the network is disconnected or disabled, the images in the files may not be displayed, showing blank pages instead, or your operation may fail even after the network has been reconnected or enabled. Check the network connection conditions and open the PDF files again. o Operations using Terminal Service Client and Remote Desktop Connection Client services are not guaranteed. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. Connecting to ScanSnap Manager --------------------------------------------------------------------- o When you install ScanSnap Organizer, the "My ScanSnap" folder is created under "My Documents" (for Windows Vista users: the "ScanSnap" folder under "Documents" ). ScanSnap Organizer displays files in this folder in the initial window. ScanSnap Manager creates files in this folder. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. Cautions Concerning Uninstallation --------------------------------------------------------------------- o Perform uninstallation from "Add or Remove Programs" (In Windows 2000, "Add/Remove Programs"; in Windows Vista, "Uninstall a program".) in the Control Panel. o When uninstalling ScanSnap Organizer from Windows, first log on as a user with administrator privileges, and then uninstall ScanSnap Organizer. o When uninstalling ScanSnap Organizer in Windows Vista, you will see a "User Account Control" dialog box. If you are logged on to the system with an Administrator account, click the [Continue] button, and if you are not, select an Administrator account, enter a password, and then click the [OK] button. o Image files are not deleted even if you uninstall ScanSnap Organizer. o After uninstalling this application and restarting the personal computer, log on as a user with administrator privileges once.
