Installation


The Easy Way

11. Right-click the ZIP containing the files (e.g. CmdTwain_00.01.zip) and choose "Extract To"

12. Specify "C:\"

13. This creates the necessary folders and stores all of the files in the correct places


The Harder Way

21. Use Windows Explorer to open the "C:\Program Files" directory,

22. Create a directory in there (Right-click in the directory and choose "New Folder") called "GssSoftware",

23. Open that directory and create another directory called "CmdTwain",

24. Expand the ZIP file containing the files into that directory. Don't use the pathnames from the ZIP file. Then

25. Copy the GssScan.bat file into the C:\WINDOWS directory.


Shortcuts

31. Get to the Windows Desktop (e.g. hold down the Windows key and press D).

32. Right-click the desktop and choose "New" then "Shortcut"

33. Enter "c:\Windows\GssScan.bat" as the location of the item

34. Click "Next"

35. Click "Finish"

36. NOTE: Clicking the shortcut will scan a page to c:\scanned_doc.jpg
