SETTING ADMINISTRATOR PRIVILEGES If installation or calibration is not working on your Macintosh system, the solution may be in the privileges. When initially set up, you are given administrator privileges which should allow you to install the DSmobile software and complete the calibration. If, however, your system is set up such that you do not have administrator privileges or the privileges have somehow become corrupt, the installation and calibration may not be possible. To correct this problem, do the following: 1. Mouse over the Apple in the upper left corner of the desktop and select System Preferences. 2. Select System and then Accounts. 3. The left pane of the window will list the current accounts, one of which should be your user name with the word "Admin" underneath. 4. If this is not the case, contact your system administrator to have the privileges changed so you can install software and calibrate the scanner. UN-INSTALLING SOFTWARE If you need to remove any of this software from your Macintosh system, you may either use the original installation disk and choose "Uninstall" or you can drag the software out of the Applications folder to the trash can. INSTALLING HARDWARE Installing hardware is as simple as finding an unused USB port on your Macintosh and inserting the scanner cable's USB plug into the socket. - 18 -

SETTING ADMINISTRATOR PRIVILEGES
If installation or calibration is not working on your Macintosh system, the solution may
be in the privileges.
When initially set up, you are given administrator privileges which
should allow you to install the DSmobile software and complete the calibration.
If,
however, your system is set up such that you do not have administrator privileges or the
privileges have somehow become corrupt, the installation and calibration may not be
possible.
To correct this problem, do the following:
1.
Mouse over the Apple in the upper left corner of the desktop and select System
Preferences.
2.
Select System and then Accounts.
3.
The left pane of the window will list the current accounts, one of which should be your
user name with the word “Admin” underneath.
4.
If this is not
the case, contact your system administrator to have the privileges changed
so you can install software and calibrate the scanner.
UN-INSTALLING SOFTWARE
If you need to remove any of this software from your Macintosh system, you may either
use the original installation disk and choose “Uninstall” or you can drag the software out
of the Applications folder to the trash can.
INSTALLING HARDWARE
Installing hardware is as simple as finding an unused USB port on your Macintosh and
inserting the scanner cable’s USB plug into the socket.
