a) Close the FreeFlow MakeReady application

b) OpentheRegistryEditor(Start>Run>regedit>’Enter’)

c) NavigatetoHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Xerox\

e) ClosetheRegistryEditor

ii)FreeFlowMakeReadyshouldnowbereadytousewithyourTWAIN

scanner driver.

2. Driver Installation

i)Beforeanyinstallation/upgradebegins,ensurethatyouhave

thelatestdriversforthescanner(s)youwillbeinstalling.These

canbefoundatwww.xeroxscanners.com.Youwillneedboththe

DriverPLUS driver and the Acuity installer packages for all scanners

beinginstalled.(See below)

ii)Whencarryingoutadriverupgrade,beforeproceedingensurethat

the scanner(s) are powered off or disconnected from the PC, and all

currently installed drivers and/or software related to the scanner(s)

are uninstalled completely using the Windows Control Panel installed

programs removal option.

iii)Thedriversandsoftwareshouldbeinstalledinthefollowingorder.

Deviationfromthiscouldcauseundesirableresultsand/ornon-

functionality of the scanner drivers with FreeFlow MakeReady. If no

atbedscannerisbeingused,ignorea)&b),andjustinstalltheADF

scanner packages.

a)A3atbedscanner(DM700orDM4700)drivermsipackage

b)A3atbedscanner(DM700orDM4700)Acuitymsipackage

c) A3 ADF scanner (DM4790 or DM4799) driver msi package

d) A3 ADF scanner (DM4790 or DM4799) Acuity msi package

iv) When prompted during the installation process, connect the scan-

nertothePCandpoweron.ItisstronglyadvisabletoconnecttheUSB

oranexternalUSBhub,asthiscancausecommunicationissues.

v)Whenusingaatbedscanner(DM700orDM4700),theyhave

the functionality to allow the ADF scanner (DM4790 or DM4799) to

connectdirectlyintothebackofthescanner,creatinga‘daisychain’.

ThisoptionisusefulwhentherearealimitednumberofavailableUSB

portsonthebackofthePC,butcanincreaseimagetransfertimes.

vi)Afteralldriversandsoftwarehavebeensuccessfullyinstalled,open
