Contex IDEAL FSS 8300 dsp - Need some advice

[John Mc]

Thanks for taking the time to read this. My company just purchased a
used Contex large format scanner, FSS 8300 dsp. The scanner arrived
alone (no manual / power cord / documents ..) and I really need a way
to test it out, I am hoping that someone has an installation CD that
would be willing get a copy to me, I would be happy to reimburse all
expenses. If you know of another way to communicate with the scanner,
that would be great too, perhaps I can get by with some sort of TWAIN
driver?

We use a custom made Document/Configuration management system, and I
am hoping to find a way to get the scanner to talk directly to our
system.

As I understand it this is a very popular and widely used scanner
model. We have a Xerox 8830 document printer, and another Xerox 8825
printer on the way. I would like to interface the scanner with one, or
both, of these printers. If you have experience you would be willing
to share with me, I would sure appreciate it.

Many thanks in advance for any assistance!

....John
