ScannerProbe helps overcome some of the difficulties associated with
the use of Apple Scanners. Applications which perform scanning chores
using scanners, such as those made by Apple Computer, rely on a driver
which is installed into the memory of the computer at boot time.

Sometimes this does not happen and, as a result, applications cannot
communicate with the Scanner due to the missing driver. The net result
is that you cannot perform any scanning until the driver is in place
and it has successfully communicated with the Scanner.

Features:

 * ScannerProbe can help you determine if you have a power-on problem
   with your Scanner which is the case with some Scanners that balk
   at a short Reset pulse that comes at them when the Macintosh first
   starts up.

 * ScannerProbe (or an alias to it) can be put in your Startup Items
   folder in the System Folder which will automatically remind you
   that everything is right in Scanner land or give you the chance to
   correct the situation. Because ScannerProbe has an 'Auto-Quit'
   feature which will cause the application to quit whether it
   succeeds or fails means you don't have to click on any buttons to
   get on with your work. The default value for 'Auto Timeout' is
   'OFF'. Pull down the 'Options' menu to set this feature On or Off.

 * ScannerProbe remembers where you last closed it so you don't have
   to constantly move the window to someplace accomodating on the
   screen.

 * ScannerProbe lets you set the SCSI ID number where you expect to
   find the Scanner as well as select the Scanner Driver INIT which
   it will try to install. Far from idiot-proof, ScannerProbe is at
   least a tool which can help you determine that:

 1. The Computer can talk to your Scanner
 2. The Scanner Driver can be tested for being installed and able to communicate with the Scanner
 3. ScannerProbe works with all of the Apple 'Grayscale' Scanners
