          Known problems: 

          - Transparency adapters for any scanner is currently
            not supported.
          - For HP 7400C series max resolution used is 600 dpi
          - When a HP 7400C series scanner goes into power save mode
            it can take 90-120 seconds before the scanner start 
            after a scanning is initiated.
          - When an Avision 600U, Fujitsu fi-4010CU or 
            Visoneer 9450/9650 scanner goes in to power save mode 
            it can take 15-20 seconds before the scanner start 
            after a scanning is initiated.  
          - Scanner name shown in the AXIS 70U display at power-on
            can be different from the name/model on the scanner 
            casing. This is due to regional/OEM name issues. 
          - Calibration when using the ADF might not be perfect on the 
            Fujitsu fi-4010CU and Avision AV600U. 
          - Time setting using MS NT does not work. 
          
          Recommendation:

          - As the default e-mail reply address in the AXIS 70U is
            blank it might be necessary to set it to a valid address
            to avoid mails being rejected as spam by some mail servers.
