                        COMPU-COPIER  2.1

                a simple Copier for your Computer


This program allows you to use your computer, scanner and printer to make
copies of sheets of paper. Version 2.1 replaces Version 1.0. CCopier is now
faster.

Requirements: You need a flatbed-scanner with TWAIN-interface and a graphics
              printer.

Installation: Simply copy the program sc.exe scprn.exe and eztwain.dll
              into a directory of your hardisk.

To make a copy of a sheet of paper, start sc.exe, press the 'Copy'
button, choose 'black-white' or 'LineArt' in the TWAIN-dialog, set the
size of the scan area to the whole papersize and press the 'scan' button.
The copy will be printed immediately.
Left of the copy button you can choose the position of the copy on the paper.
The position 'left top corner' places the copy at the same position as
in the scanner. Due to the borders all printers have, the edges may not
be printed.
The options 'Fast copy' and 'Auto scale' should normally be checked. 'Fast
copy' let the printer make the multiple copies and 'Auto scale' take care of
the right size of the copy depending on the resolution ratio of the scanner
and the printer.

This program is written in Borland Delphi and demonstrates the use of the
eztwain.dll (eztwain.pas). The source of EZTWAIN 'Easy TWAIN library' is
available from ftp://ftp.caere.com/pub/twain .
To use the source code first you have to install the DebugBox-Component
located in debugbox.pas and the Delphi-Translator in dtrans.pas.
If the DebugBox is activated, you will get a logfile (sc.log) too.

 known bugs:
 - if the scanner doesn't deliver resolution information, the copy
   may not have the same size as the original (at 100% user scale)
   in such cases you should uncheck the 'Auto scale' checkbox

 history:
 1.0a:  first release
 1.0b:  Divison by zero removed, if the TWAIN-Scanner doesn't deliver
        resolution information
 1.0c:  Better handling of errors, if the TWAIN-Scanner doesn't deliver
        resolution information
 1.0d:  try to close TWAIN, if it's already open
 1.0e:  DebugBox temporary added
 1.0f:  Errorhandling improved (div by zero)
 1.0g:  DebugBox removed
 1.0h:  DebugBox added again
 1.0i:  Save Setting in IniFile,
        CheckBox added to switch off automatic zoom,
        CheckBox added to show/hide DebugBox

 2.0:   major enhancements:
        faster copy: the TWAIN dialog will stay open after a scan,
                     the print is started after pressing the Scan-button in the
                     TWAIN dialog
        save all settings in Ini-file
        two language version, more languages are possible
        automatic functions can switched off:
                     -'Auto scale' the automatic calculation of the size of the
                       copy depending on the resolution of the scanner and the printer
                     -'Fast copy' the print driver creates the multiple copies and
                       not CCopier
 2.1    only some documentation bugfixes
