 FIWSS.DLL PROVIDED IN APAR IO04968 CAN CAUSE SCANNING PERFOR-   
 MANCE DEGRADATION WITH SOME SCANNER MODELS.

 ERROR DESCRIPTION:                                      
 When using high-end Kodak scanners and the latest IWPM fixpack,                
 FP2a, scanning throughput is much degraded from the previous                   
 fixpack, where APAR fix IO04968 was not included.  This previous               
 APAR adjusted the wait time during scanning.  With the fix                     
 installed and used with the Kodak i1800 or i800 scanners,                      
 however, the scanning throughput is half what it used to be.   
 This is because the images will flash on the screen during      
 scanning.  Even after all the paper has been fed through the    
 scanner, the images will continue to flash on the screen for the
 length of time it took to scan the images.  If the user closes  
 the IWPM scan dialog box during this wait time, the image       
 flashing will be stopped immediately, but the rest of the       
 documents that have been scanned in that batch will be lost.    
 LOCAL FIX:  Go back to a version of FIWSS.DLL published       
 before the one dated 10/23/2008 that is provided in Fixpack 2a.                                                     
 PROBLEM SUMMARY: Scanning throughput is degraded so that it      
 takes twice as long to scan now, after loading APAR fix IO04968. 
 PROBLEM CONCLUSION: FIWSS.DLL had to be changed and a new        
 environment variable offered:                                    
 Set FISS_VERIFY_ZERO_DELAY=TRUE, so that scan has no delay.      
 If set FISS_VERIFY_ZERO_DELAY=FALSE or FISS_VERIFY_ZERO_DELAY is 
 not set, there is approx. 400 millisecond delay between scan     
 start and scan end.
