System requirements
The Colortrac SmartLF scanner sends data to the computer via a USB2 data connection.  The critical computer specifications needed to achieve maximum SmartLF performance are as follows:

Operating system:    Windows XP, Professional or Home or Windows Vista 32-bit or 64-bit versions
Processor:               At least 2.8GHz, HT (Hyper -Threading), Core Duo, Core 2 Duo or Athlon processors
Memory:                 At least 512MB RAM
Data port:               High speed USB2 data port (see note below)

Notes:
1. The scan rate is proportional across the full range of resolutions supported by the scanner.  Actual scan times will depend on the host system performance.  Speeds quoted are for documents less than 24 in width (61 cm); wider documents scan half this speed.  The quoted scan accuracy is valid for media up to 0.8mm thick and may vary depending on the operating environment and the type & thickness of media.  SmartLF scanners are tested using a Mylar target at 200C +/- 30C, 60% +/- 10% RH with the media feed set to standard.  Some advanced features may not be available in Windows 2000.  Contact your supplier for advice on the optimum system configuration for your application.  Colortrac Ltd reserves the right to change or amend specifications without notice.  Colortrac and Smart LF are trademarks of Colortrac Ltd.  All other trademarks are the property of their respective owners.  Copyright © 2004 Colortrac Ltd. 

2. Windows XP is a mandatory requirement to make available operation of the scanner from the control panel. For Windows 2000 users there may be limitations on the operational control available through the SmartLF control panel.   This may change.

3. Connecting a USB1.1 device to a USB2 interface already connected to SmartLF will slow scanning performance dramatically.  This is a limitation of the USB interface design and NOT SmartLF.

4. SmartLF scanners will function with the 32-bit version of the Windows Vista operating system on a 32-bit or a 64-bit computer, however the 64-bit version of Windows Vista operating system WILL NOT work without the new 64-bit Colortrac SmartLF scanner driver.  Windows 64-bit scanner drivers should not be used with 32-bit installations of Windows™ Vista.  Windows™ Vista 64-bit drivers are expected to be available by the end of March 2007.

Display settings:    The graphics resolution should ideally be set to 1280 x 1024 and colour depth to full-colour, 24-bit colour or 32-bit.  A 17” monitor is the minimum size recommended for comfortable operation of the graphical user interface (GUI) of this software.   If you are using a 1024 x 768 screen resolution you should use CNTRL -  or run your browser at 75% to reduce the size of the graphics in CopySmart Help.
