             Release Description           
             ===================

             Changes since release 1.13:

             General:

             - A new feature called PDF rotation has been introduced. This 
               option will enable documents to be feed in the same 
               direction on digital copiers as done when copying. This 
               feature is only valid for PDF file formats and only on 
               digital copiers apart from Sharp AR-series that already 
               feed the document in the same direction. 


             Scanner Drivers:

             - Added support for more digital copiers:  			
               Canon imageRUNNER 330/400
               Canon GP335/405
               Océ 3121/3133/3140
               

             Corrected problems:

             - Large page sizes on Fujitsu 3097 DGdm
             - Error with WAR-FTP 1.7 server software
             - Contrast and Intensity settings now gives effect on 
               Canon GP copiers 
             - The driver for Fujitsu 600c, 300c and 15c will try to wait 
               for the scanner to get ready before sending any commands to
               it.
             - HP scanners are put in Fast Mode after each scanning to 
               decrease startup time for the next scan.


             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. The new PDF
               rotate option solve this for the PDF file format.
             - Some SNMP diagnostics does not work properly.
             - Duplex scanning on Sharp AR-series cannot handle more than
               one stack of paper in the ADF.   

                      
             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.
