When using the software under a network-connected environment
When installing on a network-connected PC runningWindows 7/8/10, check the following points.
IrDAcommunication utilizes a subset of TCP/IP technology (the communication technology used for the Internet
etc.) and uses a special set of communication groups and IP addresses.
Because of this, some strong Internet security software might reject communication.
If possible, use a computer that is not connected to the network.
When using a computer connected to the network, use with sufficient considerations on security settings.
CAUTION
Save past data for reinstallation
Please note the following when reinstalling the software:
1. Uninstall the software before reinstallation.
2. If the software is uninstalled after some operation, some files will remain on the PC. Of these files, FP31.mdb
is a database file. If past data needs to be saved, copy this file to a different location, and then delete the
folder.
CAUTION
Precautions when installing on Windows 7/8/10
This software requires a library, which consists of files such as various drivers, installed on theWindows system.
The files are installed automatically during the installation of the software.
When using Windows 7/8/10, installation of the system library requires administrator privileges.
In this case, follow the instructions to log in as an administrator, and then install the system library.
After installation, a dialog prompts to restart the system. Restart, log on again as a general user, and install the
