Hi Shirley,
It is very unlikely that installing version 11 will cause your present
scanner not to work. The actual scanning is done by the scanner and its
drivers, itself; it is the OCR that Kurzweil does. To attempt to resolve
the Kurzweil 1000 JAWS Configuration problem:
1. From anywhere, open Configuration manager with Insert+6 (that's number
6), [and assuming that the Insert key is your 'JAWS' key - The JAWS key is
the relevant operator.]
2. Hit Ctrl+o to open;
3. In the list view of files, keep hitting the letter k until Kurzweil 1000
is highlighted.
4. Open it then. (You are opening the Kurzweil1000.jcf.)
5. Hit Alt+s for Set Options; and the letter a for Advanced;
6. There now is a checkbox, sleep mode enabled, checkbox checked. hit
spacebar to uncheck it.
7. Tab over to ok your changes. and hit enter.
8. Hit Ctrl+s to save the change, or agree to save on the way out when you
press alt+f4 to exit the Configuration manager.
And finally:
9. Contact your friendly Kurzweil 1000 tech support to fix your problems
associated with K1000 installation, and scanner.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Reversing Sleep Mode and Kurzweil Problems
Good evening Everyone!
Last Thursday I wanted to scan some information that is not accessible in
any other media. It had been several months since I used Kurzweil, but
obviously, something is messed up big time. For some unknown reason, when I
began to start a scan, I heard a little ding and all speech ceased. I tried
everything I could think of to regain speech, but ended up restarting my
system. I phoned tech support at Kurzweil, and the nice gentleman there
suggested that I download the latest driver for my EPSON scanner. Thanks to
a terrific tech support friend at FTP, that was accomplished yesterday. To
wipe the slate clean, so to speak, I removed Kurzweil from the control
panel, did a disk cleanup, a defrag, then installed Kurzweil again.
Initially, it seemed to be working just fine, which thrilled me, and
consequently, I followed the steps from the JAWS-Users site to put JAWS to
sleep. I think I did it correctly, but unfortunately after refreshing my
memory on all the various key functions of Kurzweil, that nasty little ding
to begin a scan, totally halted all speech again. In pure frustration, I
removed Kurzweil again, but now whenever I alt-tab, Jaws tries to speak, but
is abruptly silenced. My question is, How do I reverse the steps of putting
JAWS to sleep? I have three versions of JAWS on my computer; 5.1 was the one
I used last night, primarily because it has always functioned the best. I
have a real aversion to messing with settings, but logic tells me that there
must be a way to safely reverse that process.
It was suggested that I upgrade Kurzweil from version 7, which is what I
have now, to the latest version, which is 11. I am trying to decide now
whether to call tech support at Kurzweil again, or wait until my son visits
in six weeks. Something tells me that if I upgrade Kurzweil, my scanner will
most likely need to be replaced as well.
Hopefully, my explanation is understandable. If any of you have advice on
any of the above mentioned, please pass it my way. I would appreciate your
feedback. Thanks in advance.
For now...Shirley
Freedom is not the right to do as you please, but the liberty to do as you
ought!
