MICROTEK SIMPLIFIES THE SCANNING PROCESS WITH SCANWIZARD SOFTWARE

A Drag & Drop Scanning Utility for Instant Image Management, Faxing,
Scanning and Printing

June 13, 1994 (Redondo Beach, CA)--Microtek Lab, Inc. has improved the
speed and ease of image management in desktop scanning with the
introduction of an intuitive, drag-and-drop application for Windows -
ScanWizard.

Developed for Microtek's ScanMaker IIHR high resolution color scanner and
the ScanMaker III 36-bit color scanner, ScanWizard allows users to easily
organize image files, view and edit images, and integrate their scanning
and printing applications.

"ScanWizard is part of a complete office solution, adding intuitive
management functionality to scanning operations," said Woody Hale,
Microtek's vice president of marketing and sales. "It is the latest
example of Microtek's commitment to providing superior software with its
scanners, at an affordable price."

Currently, ScanWizard is offered as a bundled product from Microtek, free
with the purchase of either a ScanMaker IIHR or ScanMaker III color
flatbed scanner. The ScanMaker IIHR is a 24-bit, 600 x 1200 dpi color
scanner and lists for $1,499. The ScanMaker III offers 36-bit color
scanning and 600 x 1200 dpi optical resolution, software enhanced to 2400
x 2400 dpi. The ScanMaker III lists for $3,499.

ScantWizard improves the speed and ease of image management with a variety
of functions including

* loading images from an outside source and into folders for easy
  storage and retrieval
* copying, deleting, duplicating, and image editing within or
  between folders
* printing images or thumbnails
* scanning in images from stand-alone or multiple scanners
* printing directly from the scanner without accessing hard
  disk space
* hooking into fax applications to monitor incoming and outgoing
  faxes
* installing other applications in ScanWizard for easy switching
  between programs
* photocopying scanned-in documents and then sending them to the
  printer

WORKING IN SCANWIZARD:

Since ScanWizard is icon and menu driven it is very easy to use. From the
top of the Windows screen the Menu bar provides all the commands; Toolbar
icons located directly underneath the Menu commands provide easy visual
accessibility and simplify tasks; Device Icons (printers, scanners, etc.)
help automate functions; Image files appear in the Application Workspace,
located beneath the Device Icons, for easy accessibility and versatility;
and a Status Line, located at the bottom of the screen, provides more
detailed information when selected.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS & COMPATIBILITY

To run ScanWizard, an IBM or compatible 386 class or higher is required

to use 16 MB RAM with 170 MB hard disk space with 30 MB free. A 256-color
