How do I obtain eCopy software updates?
You must first register your software and have a current eCopy software support agreement. To register your eCopy products go to: http://www.eCopy.com/registration/ Once registered, you will see an Upgrade Center option within your account registration profile; this is where you will see the upgrades that you are eligible to receive. In the future, the person who registers the software is the eCopy contact and will receive an e-mail notification for available software updates.


What is the difference between product registration and product activation?
Product registration along with a current eCopy software support agreement provides the user with technical product support and incremental software updates during the warranty period. Product activation is required before the 30 day software grace period expires or the application is locked down.


Why am I unable to search and find text in PDF documents (with Create Searchable Text) using Windows Explorer within Windows XP? My Windows 2000 machine works fine.
According to an article at: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;309173 when you search for files that contain text by using the "A word or phrase in the file" search criterion, the search results may not be correct. Windows XP registers filter components only for file types that are associated with common document types. To date, this is only seen on Windows XP systems. To obtain a registry file that will register eCopy file types, please contact eCopy Support to arrange to have the file and installation instructions sent.

How do I acquire an eCopy Scanner Setup disk for my ISIS scanner?

Your eCopy reseller or copier dealer can order the restore media for you.

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-028 JPEG GDI
Microsoft recently published a GDI+ security update for Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Office, and Microsoft developer tools to address newly discovered issues in JPEG processing. Microsoft has recommended that customers apply the update immediately if they have installed any of the affected programs or components listed in the MS04-028 Security Bulletin. The bulletin also notes that any third party applications that distribute the GDIPlus.dll file may also need to patch their products.

Although eCopy ShareScan and eCopy Desktop install the GDIPlus.dll file in Program Files\eCopy\Desktop\Bin, it is not used to process JPEG images. This file is only used for eCopy's ScanFromFile component for conducting scanning demos. Therefore, eCopy ShareScan and eCopy Desktop are not vulnerable to this issue.

What is the difference between an eCopy Connector and eCopy Quick Connect?
A "Connector" is an add-on link between an eCopy-enabled scanner or digital copier and a networked software application or service like e-mail, document management systems, fax servers, enterprise software applications, etc. It is a physical piece of software.
A "Quick Connect" is a feature/function within eCopy ShareScan. You can configure "Quick Connect" in virtually unlimited ways using any number of scanning profiles. You can set up custom "scan to file" buttons (total cannot exceed 6 buttons on the eCopy touch screen) that can use shared folders on your network and utilize batch processing. Check the eCopy ShareScan Administration guide for setup details.
Why does my eCopy ScanStation appear to hang during the "Restore to Factory" process?
Check to see that you do not have a SCSI device connected. If stuck in the Recovery console menu, power down the PC and disconnect the SCSI cable. Repeat the "Restore to Factory" process and the system should boot into the operating system after the factory restore. Power down the PC and reconnect the SCSI cable.
PDFs created with eCopy software open fine everywhere except for on a Blackberry handheld. Why is this?
Blackberry only supports text pdf's (Adobe PDF's) not image pdf's which is what eCopy and Canon generate.
Is Windows XP SP2 supported?
Windows XP SP2 is supported with the current shipping versions of eCopy ShareScan 8.3 Build XX and eCopy Desktop 8.5 Build 0.116. We do not have any plans to certify Windows XP SP2 with earlier versions.
Why do I need to register my eCopy products?
To receive product technical support or any software upgrades, eCopy requires the software be registered. Visit our registration page for more details and product registration online: www.ecopy.com/registration
How do I verify the software version and build number of my eCopy product?
For eCopy Desktop: Select "Help" and then "About eCopy Desktop," the eCopy version and build number appears in the menu. For eCopy ShareScan: Select "Advanced," select "eCopy ShareScan," then select "About ShareScan," the eCopy version and build number appears in the menu.
What happens if I suspect a hardware problem with my eCopy ScanStation?
Contact your dealer. The dealer will determine through onsite troubleshooting if further assistance is needed. The dealer should also verify that your eCopy software is registered (eCopy requires the software to be registered before any technical support can be provided).
How do I replace a part that is under warranty?
Call your dealer first. eCopy Support will only issue an RMA (Return Material Authorization) to authorized dealers. The dealer needs to contact eCopy Support directly to expedite any parts that customers would require. The number for eCopy Support is +1.603.881.4450.
How do I enable/disable the Internet Connection Firewall in Windows© XP?
Go to "Start," select "Settings," select "Control Panel,"
· Click on Network Connections
· Right mouse click on Local Area Connections
· Select Advanced tab - then Uncheck or Check box
I just downloaded the eCopy Viewer application from the eCopy web site and I cannot open the file that was just e-mailed to me. What am I doing wrong?
After downloading the file, make sure to run the installation file (.exe) on your PC. Then open eCopy Viewer and File>Open to open the CPY file saved from the e-mail. The eCopy Viewer application only opens CPY files.
