 Installing the UMAX 1220S
A 36-bit flatbed scanner in Windows 3.1 Total time for the installation: 5 hours, including some printing and testing |

A flatbed scanner is a space-consuming but seemingly useful tool, and equipped with an SCSI-2 interface (note the 'S' in 1220S) allows for quick data transfer even to our Fujitsu laptop computer. | We did encounter numerous problems during the installation, perhaps not all that surprising considering the scanner 'required' Windows 95 or NT according to the packaging. Since our CD-ROM is down we haven't been able to load any software that came with the UMAX, but some of the | software is labelled for Windows 3.1. So how did we know the scanner would work in Win3.1? We didn't, but we had a strong inkling from the UMAX website which allowed searching for drivers for Win3.1 and which recommended the same driver exactly for Windows 3.1 as for Windows 95.
