          ----------------------------------------------------------

          IMPORTANT:          

          - This version is intended for AXIS 7000 with part
            number 0094-xxx-02/03/04. AXIS 7000 with part number 
            0094-xxx-01 can not use this release.

          New scanner drivers:

          - Fujitsu 4530C.
          - Kodak i80.

          New features:

          Corrected problems:

          - Corrected inversion problem with the Canon DR2080 when 
            generating TIFF images with the TIFFTAG_PHOTOMETRIC tag.

          - The job separation page works now with the Canon DR 5020.

          - Updated to support new message display hardware.

          Known problems:

          - For Ricoh Aficio 401 based machines the scan mode must be
            activated on the digital copier before the AXIS 7000 is
            booted.
          - For Ricoh Afico 401 based machines papers must be
            inserted upside down in ADF to get scanned images in
            correct order.
          - Ricoh Afico 401 can sometimes not exit scan mode to copy
            mode unless either the AXIS 7000 or the copier is power
            cycled
          - Scanning PDF files to Internet Explorer with releases
            before 5.0 does not work.
          - Saving JPEG images in Internet Explorer does not work
            without reload, which will result in a second scanning.
          - For Digital Copiers, except Sharp, every second page will
            be scanned upside down when scanning in duplex. The PDF
            rotate option solve this for the PDF file format.
          - Transparency adapter for HP6390C scanner is currently
            not supported.
          - Transparency adapters for Epson scanners are currently
            not supported.
          - When doing a web scan some users may encounter the
            problem that the scanning can not be stopped using the
            STOP button in the web browser. This problem occurs
            using Netscape 4.72 (at least) with proxy configuration.
            By switching to "Direct connection to Internet" or
            manually bypass the proxy server this problem could be
            avoided.
          - Drag and drop of the config.ini file does not work with
            some versions of Netscape Navigator and some OS.
          - If NT authentication is used the sender e-mail address
            is sometimes not shown correctly.
          - Profile with PDF-JPEG on Ricoh IS450D does not work.
          - Dithered scanning mode will get large image file with
            some Epson scanners. Reduce resolution to get smaller
            file size.
          - Scanning several sheets from the ADF (EU-21) on the
            Epson GT-10000 will give image output in reverse order
            unless inserted in reverse order.
          - In some circumstances the Fujitsu ScanPartner 620C
            makes a short pause after the full read of a scanned
            page from the flatbed.
          - When using the XML functionality, if the selected FTP
            destination send the Image File and the Information
            File to the same FTP server / directory as the preset
            FTP destination defined in the XML DD file, the preset
            destination will be unable to write the Information File
            as it should.
          - Scanners with Reversing ADF (Epson GT-10000+/30000 and
            Ricoh IS330DC and OEM's) will give back page in duplex
            upside down in all formats except PDF and TIFF if 
            reader supports image rotation.
          - Fujitsu M3091DC scanner in duplex with paper sizes
            smaller than selected will result in lock-up of the
            scanner. Power cycle the scanner to resume.
          - Default settings of LDAP Search Base may not fit all
            LDAP servers and might have to be modified for proper
            operation.
          - In some specific conditions the Meta Data functionality
            requires the User to press Send/Scan twice in order to
            proceed with the scanning. 
          - For HP 7400C series max resolution used is 600 dpi
          - When a HP 7400C series scanner goes in to powersave mode
            it can take 90-120 seconds before the scanner start 
            after a scanning is initiated. 
          - Transparency adaptor not supported for HP 7400C series.

          Recommendation:
          - For Ricoh Aficio 340/350/450 based machines it is
            recommended to decrease the System Reset time on the
            copier to 10 seconds to earlier free the machine after
            scanning has been finished.
          - As the default e-mail reply address in the AXIS 7000 is
            blank it might be necessary to set it to a valid address
            to avoid mails being rejected as spam by some mail
            servers.
          - For correct date of last reset for the temporary scan
            counter it is necessary to have the correct date
            set in 'admin' mode and also reset the temporary scan'
            counter in 'service' mode.
