PC Only: A Note About SCSI Cards

The Personal FX is connected to your computer by a Small Computer System
Interface (SCSI) cable. To use the Personal FX, you must have a SCSI card installed
in your PC. If you have a PC with a Windows 98 or Windows ME operating system,
you may also need to load the SCSI and WinASPI drivers that came with the card.

Simulation Mode

Any of the imaging device acquisition windows can be opened in “simulation mode.”
In this mode, an acquisition window will open and the controls will appear active, but
instead of capturing real images, the window will create “dummy” images of
manufactured data.

You do not need to be connected to an imaging device to open a simulated acquisition
window. This is useful for demonstration purposes or practice scans.

To enter simulation mode, hold down the

CTRL

key and select the name of the device

from the File menu. The title of the acquisition window will indicate that it is
simulated.

I.1 Personal FX Acquisition Window

To acquire images using the Personal FX, go to the File menu and select Personal
FX.... The acquisition window for the imager will open, displaying a control panel
and the scanning area window.
