This program can be used on Microsoft operating systems Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10. Please note
that it cannot be used on other operating systems.
This program requires a maximum of 40 MB hard disk when it is installed. Moreover, on operation of the system,
it requires hard disk capacity depending on the amount of data. Please use the program with sufficient disk
capacity.
2-2. Software installation

installation screen will automatically start.
When the PC does not support the auto-start function of the CD-ROM, operate as follows:
1. From Explorer, open the CD-ROM drive.
2. Double-click the "setup.exe" file.
CAUTION
Precautions on handling the CD-ROM
1. CD-ROM storage
Do not store the CD-ROM in a place exposed to direct sunlight or a place with high temperature

When using the software under a network-connected environment
When installing on a network-connected PC running Windows 7/8/10, check the following points.
IrDA communication 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, FI8000.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 the
Windows 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 application.
(Both the library and the application are installed by clicking setup.exe in the CD-ROM. Installation
with an administrator privilege is required only when the required library is not installed in the
system folder.)
