          IMPORTANT:          

          - This version is intended for AXIS 7000 with part
            number 0094-xxx-02/03/04. AXIS 7000 with part number 
            0094-xxx-01 can not use this release.

          New features:
          
          - New LDAP Authentication Wizard. This wizard allows you
            to easily test your LDAP Authentication settings before
            setting the AXIS 7000 in production.

          - New LDAP Address Book Wizard. This wizard allows you
            to easily test your LDAP Address Book settings before
            setting the AXIS 7000 in production.

          - New Remote FTP configuration feature. This feature 
            allows you to let the AXIS 7000 automatically and 
            periodically fetch its own configuration file. 

          - Possibility to add serial number information to XML
            Directory and File Name.

          - Added destination to "Scanned ....." event logs.

          - Added support for Fujitsu 4120c2/4220c2 scanners.

          - Enhanced handling of B/W intensity parameter for Fujitsu
            4120/4220 scanners.

	  - Added support for Visioneer Strobe XP 450 PDF scanner.

	  - Added support for Xerox DocuMate 250/510 scanners.

          - Added support for Epson GT15000 scanner.

          Corrected problems:

          - Corrected an "Add page" problem for the Canon DR-5020 scanner

          - Corrected double sided B/W scanning for Fujitsu 4120c/4220c
            scanner. 

          Known problems:
	  
	  - Profiles may change when updating to 1.05.1 from earlier
	    versions of firmware. Make notes of the profile settings
	    before updating, Restore Predefined Profiles after the 
	    update and reenter the old settings.
          - Scanning PDF files to Internet Explorer with releases
            before 5.0 does not work.
          - Saving JPEG images in Internet Explorer does not work
            without reload, which will result in a second scanning.
          - Transparency adapters for Epson scanners are currently
            not supported.
          - When doing a web scan some users may encounter the
            problem that the scanning can not be stopped using the
            STOP button in the web browser. This problem occurs
            using Netscape 4.72 (at least) with proxy configuration.
            By switching to "Direct connection to Internet" or
            manually bypass the proxy server this problem could be
            avoided.
          - Drag and drop of the config.ini file does not work with
            some versions of Netscape Navigator and some OS.
          - If NT authentication is used the sender e-mail address
            is sometimes not shown correctly.
          - Dithered scanning mode will get large image file with
            some Epson scanners. Reduce resolution to get smaller
            file size.
          - When using the XML functionality, if the selected FTP
            destination send the Image File and the Information
            File to the same FTP server / directory as the preset
            FTP destination defined in the XML DD file, the preset
            destination will be unable to write the Information File
            as it should.
          - Default settings of LDAP Search Base may not fit all
            LDAP servers and might have to be modified for proper
            operation.
          - In some specific conditions the Meta Data functionality
            requires the User to press Send/Scan twice in order to
            proceed with the scanning. 
          - For HP 7400C series max resolution used is 600 dpi
          - When a HP 7400C series scanner goes in to powersave mode
            it can take 90-120 seconds before the scanner start 
            after a scanning is initiated. 
          - Transparency adaptor not supported for HP 7400C series.

          Recommendation:
          
          - As the default e-mail reply address in the AXIS 70U is
            blank it might be necessary to set it to a valid address
            to avoid mails being rejected as spam by some mail
            servers.
