of at the top of the screen.

Introduction
8System Requirements
OS X Requirements
OS X V 10.2.1 or later is required. We recommend updating to the latest
release available.
Devices can be connected by either SCSI or FireWire. Please note that if
you are connecting a SCSI device through a SCSI to FireWire device it will
be represented as a FireWire device - that is the bus number in the device
window will be 9.
To be recognized by OS X, devices connected to a standard SCSI adapter
must be present when booting the Mac.
A SCSI device connected via a SCSI to FireWire adapter will be recognized
when the adapter is plugged in.
The SCSI device itself must be turned on before connecting the adapter to
FireWire or rebooting.

System Requirements
The 3f File Format
When using the Scan 3f function (for scanners) or capturing an image
with a digital camera back, FlexColor stores the image in the unique 3f
(flexible file format).
The 3f file is an extended TIFF-file containing
•Raw 16-bit image data
•A complete history of applied settings
•High quality preview image
•Custom icons and previews visible in the Finder.
•Meta-data (including IPTC tags) to support an image database.
In short this means that when you have scanned or captured your image,
you can crop, resize and color correct an unlimited number of times
afterwards.
You can easily integrate to databases, have fast previews in a number of
applications and always be able to re-create the quality you need - all this
from the same 3f file.
Image Archiving & Availability
Because a 3f file preserves all of the details captured by your scanner or
camera, it is perfect for archiving. Then, for each new job, you will work
with the 3f image in FlexColor and export it to create a new TIFF file in
which your settings are applied - the only change made to the 3f file will
be the addition of a new history record of the settings you used.
By making the 3f files available over your network, you will enable
operators at any workstation to open an image in FlexColor and apply
cropping, correction and conversion just as though they were working
directly on the scanner or camera.
