 (Cautions and restrictions with specified applications)

 <Adobe Acrobat 6>
   - Scanner driver may stop while scanning. This problem may be resolved
     by upgrading Acrobat to version 7, 8, 9 or X.
     ([Native Transfer] must be set in Scan Transfer Settings
     when you select Acrobat 8)

 <Adobe Acrobat 6/7>
   - When the documents consisting of different page sizes are scanned, 
     they may not be scanned into application normally.
     In such case, scan them without mixing different page sizes.
   - When an original whose length is 17 inches or more is scanned, 
     it may not be scanned correctly into application.

 <Microsoft Office 2000>
   - When the documents consisting of different page sizes are scanned,
     they may not be scanned into application normally.  
     In such case, scan them without mixing different page sizes.

   - With Word2000/Excel2000, when the scanning is specified within 
     the large range such as A4, it is not likely to be able to scan. 

 <Microsoft Office 2003(SP1/SP2)/2007/2010>
   - Image may not be scanned in correct colors.
     If this phenomenon occurs, it may be solved by scanning again.
