          Known problems: 

          - Profiles may change when updating to 1.04. Make notes of the
	    profile settings before updating, Restore Predefined Profiles
	    after the update and reenter the old settings.

	  - 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.
