DESCRIPTION:  This SoftPaq contains version 1.1 of the Compaq C3-1000
Drivers for Windows 98/Me. It is equivalent to the Drivers contained
on the Compaq C3-1000 Drivers 1.1 CD (part number 212986-002).

Specifically, this SoftPaq includes the C3-1000 Printer Driver, the
C3-1000 USB Driver, the C3-1000 TWAIN Driver, the C3-1000 Settings Utility,
the C3-1000 Firmware Upgrade Utility, and C3-1000 Online Help.

It does not include ReadIRIS (OCR) or Media Browser. However, these
programs may be installed from the original Compaq C3-1000 Drivers CD
after installing this SoftPaq (details below). These programs are not
required for routine use of the C3-1000.

HOW TO USE:

1.  Download the SoftPaq file into an easily-remembered folder
    on your hard drive. The SoftPaq file is a self-extracting executable
    program with a filename based on the SoftPaq number above.

2.  Check if another version of the Compaq C3-1000 Drivers software is
    already installed by selecting Start->Programs and looking
    for "Compaq C3-1000" in the Programs menu. If found, uninstall
    it by selecting:
    Start->Programs->Compaq C3-1000->Uninstall Compaq C3-1000 Software

3.  Set up the Compaq C3-1000 as described in the "Getting Started" chapter
    of the C3-1000 User Guide. However, instead of installing
    the software from the CD, continue to the next step.

4.  Open (or Run) the SoftPaq file that was downloaded in step 1 and
    follow the on-screen instructions. The SoftPaq file will be "unpacked"
    into a folder on your hard drive. By default, it will be unpacked into a
    folder named by SoftPaq number under \Program Files\Compaq SoftPaqs

5.  After the files have been unpacked, the setup program will
    automatically begin. Follow the on-screen instructions.

6.  After the setup program has finished, you may delete the SoftPaq
    file (from step 1) and the SoftPaq folder (from step 4) if you wish.


THE FOLLOWING STEPS ARE OPTIONAL

and Media Browser programs:
