             Control Panel:

             - Messages on the display can now also be in Italian and
               Swedish.

             Mail destinations:

             - If the mail server due to spam prevention does not permit the
               selected sender address to be used a warning is now issued.   

             External address book:

             - LDAP performance has been improved.

             Corrected problems:

             - The TCP/IP stack has been updated. Should handle odd net masks
               better.
             - Correction for Ricoh Aficio 401 and Canon GP 215 with 
               resolution and scanning area problems.
             - Corrected maximum paper length on Ricoh Aficio 401.
             - Fujitsu 3093DG driver now correctly handles page sizes
               bigger than legal.
             - It's now possible to change between the ADF and the flatbed 
               for Ricoh Aficio 401 and Ricoh IS420/430.
             - The AXIS 700 will now better support mail servers that
               terminates the connection in a non normal way 


             Known problems:

             - For Ricoh Aficio 401 based machines the scan mode must be
               activated on the digital copier before the scan server is booted. 
             - Ricoh IS01/420/430 non-common image size and resolution may
               result in a scanner lock-up.
             - Some old Web browsers shows garbage characters on some web pages.
             - Scanning PDF files to Internet Explorer < 5.0 does not work.
             - Saving JPEG images in Internet Explorer does not work without
               reload, which will result in a second scanning.
             - ADF of HP 4si gives SCSI error. This problem was introduced
               with 1.11.
             - For Ricoh Afico 401 based machines papers must be inserted upside
               down in ADF to get scanned images in correct order
             - For Digital Copiers, except Sharp, every second page will be 
               scanned upside down when scanning in duplex
                      
             Known problems when upgrading from releases earlier than 1.10:

             - The server password will be reset to 'pass' after upgrading.
             - The scan-to-file index file will be turned OFF for all FTP
               destinations when upgrading to this release.
             - The mail server field will be set to 'mail' regardless of
               previous value.

             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 700 is blank
               it might be necessary to set it to a valid address to avoid 
               mails being rejected as spam by some mail servers.
