          Corrected problems:

          - Corrected inverted page problem with HP Scanjet 8250

          - Corrected the displayed character when manually setting the 
            IP address on network without / slow DHCP or when using the
            control panel.

          - Extended External Address Book via LDAP Search Base and 
            Filter fields to 256 characters.

          - Corrected erroneous handling of the Description field of the

          Known problems: 

          - Profiles may change when updating to 1.04.1. 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.
