ScanTek 2.2

                    A scanner driver for
             Microtek, Highscreen and some Mustek
                      Flatbed Scanner

 The ScanTek scanner driver has the following features:

 1. Support of the following SCSI Microtek scanner models:
        MICROTEK IISP, MICROTEK II, HIGHSCREEN Flatbed Color IIs,
        ScanMaker E3, ScanMaker 35t

    Support of the following SCSI Mustek scanner model:
        6000CX 8000CX (not tested) 12000CX (not tested)

        Other Mustek scanners are not supported, because they have
        a different firmware software.

    If your scanner is not mentioned in the list above try it and
    give me a response if it works or not.

    Attention: Mustek scanners have a critical SCSI interface. It
               was reported to me that these scanners may not work
               with the A3000(T) internal SCSI interface. It is
               possible that these scanners do not work with other
               SCSI host adapters, either.
               But the Mustek 6000CX works in combination with an
               Oktagon SCSI host adapter.

 2. Support of black/white, built-in halftone (dither), one-pass-color-scan,
    three pass color scan, grey, red, green and blue scan.

 3. Individual setting of resolution, scanning frame, contrast, shadow,
    midtone, highlight, exposure time and scanning speed for download to the
    scanner.

 4. Download of a color look up table (gamma correction table ) to the scanner
    supported.

 5. Scanning to IFF File of 1, 8 or 24 bit color depth. The maximum size of
    the scanned image is independent from the RAM size. After the scanning
    process it is possible to start an external program.

 6. GUI for preview and configuration of the driver. You need Kickstart 2.04
    or higher.

 7. Sizeable preview window in black/white or grey scale. There are
    much more skilled programs to view and manipulate the scanned images
    in color. (A tool like ADPRO, IMAGE FX or so is needed, if you want to
    do sophisticated postproduction)

 8. Screenmode requester to define screen for working.

 9. Configurable SCSI device and SCSI ID. ( Yes, the driver supports only
    SCSI connectable Microtek scanners. This is not rather bad, since I
    do not know of any NON-SCSI scanner from Microtek).

 10. The driver is tested with the following SCSI drivers: oktagon.device and
     gvpscsi.device V4.5.

 11. ScanTek is written using SAS C 6.55.

 11. ScanTek is SHAREWARE.

 12. The non registered version of ScanTek is a full working version but all
     scanned images have black lines to motivate you to register.
