    Reference
    - In Windows Server 2003, even if the printer driver is deleted using the preceding method, the model
      information file will remain in the computer. For this reason, when reinstalling the same version of the
      printer driver, the driver may not be rewritten. In this case, remove the following files as well.
    - Check the "C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32e86" folder ("C:\WINDOWS\
      system32\spool\drivers\e64" folder in the e64 system, and if there is a folder of the corresponding
      model, remove it.
    - From the "C:\WINDOWS\inf" folder, remove "oem*.inf" and "oem*.PNF" ("*" included in the file name
      indicates a number, which differs depending on the computer environment). Before removing these
      files, open the inf file, then check the model name described on the last few lines to confirm it is the file
      for the corresponding model. The number of the PNF file is the same as that of the inf file.
    - In Windows Vista/Server 2008/Server 2008 R2/7/Server 2012/8/Server 2012 R2/8.1, the above procedure is not required
      if [Remove driver and driver package.] is selected for uninstallation.

4.2 Uninstalling the scanner driver

    remove the driver using the following procedure.
    Uninstalling the driver requires the administrator authority.
    (1) Click [Start], then select [All Programs] (or [Programs]) - [Generic :*** Scanner] - [UnInstScan].
        ("***" indicates a model name.)
        * In Windows Vista/Server 2008/Server 2008 R2/7/Server 2012/8/Server 2012 R2/8.1, when the [User Account Control] window appears,
        click [Continue] or [Yes].
    (2) Click [Next >].
    (3) In the dialog box for confirming if you are sure to remove the scanner, click [Yes].
    (4) Click [Finish].
