The following restrictions apply when you use ScanGear or scan a document. Keep the following points in mind when using ScanGear.

Notes on ScanGear Functions

1. Check whether there is enough free space on your hard drive before scanning a large document at a high resolution. For example, at least 300 MB of free space is required to scan an A4 document in 600dpi full color.

2. Your computer may stop responding when you try to scan a large image at a high resolution if it is too large. If such is the case, stop the operation by, for example, click [Cancel] at the progress bar and scan it with smaller scan area or lower resolution.

3. Make sure to close the ScanGear main window before exiting the application.

4. Some computers (including a mobile computer) may not return from the standby mode properly if this product is connected. If such is the case, restart your computer.

5. If a confirmation or warning message appears, select the [Do not display this message again.] checkbox, so that this message is no longer displayed.

To display the message again, delete the settings file by entering the following command when ScanGear is not operating:

$ rm -rf /tmp/canon_sgmp_setting_MX340_series.ini

The ScanGear settings are reset to the default values.
