          Release Description:
          ===================

          New features:

          - Meta Information functionality added using XML. Makes it
            possible to request information from the user at the moment
            of scanning.
         
          - Microsoft Windows NT authentication.
         
          - Possibility to set the extension of the Information File for
            File Destinations.
         
          - Support for UK keyboard.
         
          - Possibility to set the time/date using Microsoft Windows NT 
            Network (SMB).

          - Possibility to set the name of the image file at the moment
            of scanning via an optional keyboard.

          - BCC functionality added. A copy of the scanned image can now
            be sent to one specific destination for logging and other
            purposes.  
  

          Corrected problems:

          - Updated drivers for Fujitsu M3096Gm/M3096GXm.
          - Updated drivers for Canon GP-200 series. 
            It's now possible to scan down to 150 dpi using RDF with 
            Canon GP-200 series. Detection for ADF is added. 300 dpi is 
            still lowest resolution using an ADF.
          - Push button for factory default is now working correctly.
          - Send-to-web in authenticated state works as expected.
          - Temporary e-mail subjects are cleared when user log out.

          Known problems:

          - For Ricoh Aficio 401 based machines the scan mode must be
            activated on the digital copier before the AXIS 7000 is 
            booted. 
          - For Ricoh Afico 401 based machines papers must be inserted
            upside down in ADF to get scanned images in correct order.
          - Scanning PDF files to Internet Explorer with releases 
            before 5.0 does not work.
          - Saving JPEG images in Internet Explorer does not work 
            without reload, which will result in a second scanning.
          - For Digital Copiers, except Sharp, every second page will be 
            scanned upside down when scanning in duplex. The PDF
            rotate option solve this for the PDF file format.
          - Transparency adapter for HP6390C scanner is currently not 
            supported.
          - When doing a web scan some users may encounter the problem that 
            the scanning can not be stopped using the STOP button 
            in the web browser. This problem occurs using Netscape 4.72 
            (at least) with proxy configuration. By switching to 
            "Direct connection to Internet" or manually bypass the proxy 
            server this problem could be avoided.

          Important:  

          - It is recommended to make a back-up of all settings before
            upgrading or downgrading. This can be done by uploading the
            config.ini file via FTP, see the User's Manual.
  
          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 7000 is blank
            it might be necessary to set it to a valid address to avoid 
            mails being rejected as spam by some mail servers.
