The HP Scanjet line of scanners are flatbed scanning peripherals used to transfer documents and/or pictures to electronic files or images. They are SCSI connected devices and require a SCSI controller card in the host computer.
The HP Scanjet (IIc was tested) drivers and software will not operate in Windows NT 4.0 as installation is normally performed. Windows NT will not allow the software or drivers to directly access the hardware device.
The following process is from HP on how to allow the Scanner to be used in Windows NT 4.0
Pre-installation: An Adaptec 1542 card is installed in the computer on one of the following interrupts: 3, 4, 5, 7, or 9. Ensure the card is working properly in NT 4.0 and that there are no conflicts with this device on the system.
1) Copy the files needed to a directory on the local system that has the
scanner attached. The files should go into a local directory called
c:\disk1\*.*.The files can be copied from Central at
\\central\installs\scanjet\*.*.
