More Information

When you scan in a documents using Kurzweil 3000 Scan/Read, you create a document with the file extension .KES. This file can be read in any Kurzweil product. If you need to transfer a .KES file from a PC to a Macintosh®, we suggest the following two solutions:

Connecting Macintosh® computers to a PC-compatible Network

The following options offer you a few choices on connecting a Mac and a PC via a network.

• NetPresenz - To copy files using TCP/IP without connecting to a drive you can use NetPresenz shareware, which is available from many sources. You will need to turn on Windows 95's built-in FTP services on the PC.

• DAVE - DAVE from Thursby provides access to NetBEUI/ NetBIOS on Macintosh computers. See Apple's knowledge base article 21115: "Macintosh On Microsoft NetBEUI/NetBIOS Networks" for more information.

• Timbuktu Pro - Netopia's Timbuktu Pro offers cross-platform file sharing services as well as the ability to control a computer remotely.

For more information on Macintosh® and PC-compatible computer connectivity, please see http://www.macwindows.com/Network.html.

Create an iTools account on Apple.com and use iDisk.

When you use iDisk you get FREE web storage on Apple.com that you can use to transfer files from one machine to another. These machines can be Mac or PC but initial setup must be made from a Mac.

Once your iDisk account is established you can copy files from a PC to the iDisk folder and then retrieve them later from a Mac. Please refer to the Help section on the iDisk web site for setup assistance.

Note: While Kurzweil Educational Systems, Inc. offers these suggestions for transferring KESI documents from one platform to another, it makes no guarantee as to the success of these suggestions.
