I also obtained duplicate copies of the sales receipt from the Staple cashier for the rebates. I then returned home. I put the scanner on top of my main CPU. I installed the software and the USB scanner works fine. I installed the additional Textbridge OCR software and two photo programs that also came on the CDROM.
