7. Removed the Connections Diagnostic utility that was bundled with previous versions of Image Studio.

8. To connect Image Studio 5.5.4 to the C‑DiGit Blot Scanner, you can connect the computer running Image Studio directly to the C‑DiGit using an Ethernet cable or a suitable USB To Ethernet adapter. Direct USB connection is no longer supported.

   See the C‑DiGit Answer Portal for more details.
