Note
Color Network ScanGear does not support black-and-white iR series digital copiers. You cannot use Color Network ScanGear with iR series color digital copiers equipped with an optional USB interface board. When scanning a large number of images or images that are very large, memory shortage can result in errors or greatly reduced scanning speed. In this case, take one or more of the following measures: Delete unnecessary files from the hard disk to release additional disk space, or increase the hard disk capacity. Rescan at a lower resolution. Add more RAM. Set the virtual memory size to be as large as possible.
