Image Scanner User's Manual ¡ Connecting the SCSI cable Caution: Connect the cable before turning the power on. The use of interface cables other than shielded cables or specified equivalents will invali- date the certification of this scanner and may cause interference levels which exceed the limits established for this equipment.
Image Scanner User's Manual ¡ Setting the SCSI ID Caution: No two devices on the SCSI-chain can have the same ID number. The setting will not take effect until the machine is reset. Do not set the SCSI ID to 8 or 9. The SCSI ID must be set between 0 and 7, even though 8 and 9 are present on the rotary switch.
Image Scanner User's Manual ¡ Turning the power on Original position Caution: Confirm that the DIP switches on the rear of the scanner are in the original position as shown right. If the settings « have been changed, correct the settings, otherwise the scanner may not work correctly.

Image Scanner User's Manual 4. Placing originals You can scan your originals two ways. You can place them one at a time directly on the contact glass (book mode) or you can place all of them on the document feeder (document feeder mode). Placing originals on the contact glass is the only way to scan books, magazines and the like.
Image Scanner User's Manual ¡ Placing an original on the contact glass Original condition Originals that meet the following specifications can be scanned. E Weight: Less than 10 kg per document (Letter or A4) E Thickness: Less than 10 mm (If document feeder is open, more than 10 mm is possible.) E Written material: Pencil, toner, ink, ball point pen, anything that does not stick to the contact glass.
Image Scanner User's Manual ¡ Placing originals on the document table Original condition Originals that meet the following specifications can be handled by the document feeder. Caution: When an original needs to be scanned that does not meet the following specifications, place the original on the contact glass and scan in book mode, otherwise your original may be damaged.
Page 21
Image Scanner User's Manual Procedures 1. When scanning large size originals, extend the document table. Note: If the extention of the document table is pushed down strongly, it will come off to prevent it from damaging. If it comes off, put it back .
Image Scanner User's Manual 5.Cleaning If the contact glass or the white sheet is dirty, it will adversely affect the quality of the scanned image. If the roller of the document feeder is dirty, it can cause paper jams, misfeeds, or soil the originals.
Page 23
Image Scanner User's Manual If feed errors such as jams and/or double feeds occur, open the document feeder cover and clean the feed roller by wiping it with a damp cloth. Caution: Clean the roller after scanning an original written with material that doesn't stick well to the sheet, such as pencil lead.
Image Scanner User's Manual 6. Troubleshooting If an error occurs, the type of error is indicated by a combination of lit indicators, as mentioned on page 9. Follow the appropriate directions below. If the error is not solved by the measures given below, contact your service representative for assistance.

Image Scanner User's Manual 7. Specifications Type : Desktop type Scanning method : Flat bed & Sheet feed Scanning area : Main direction 304 mm max. Sub direction 432 mm max. Resolution : Main direction 400 dpi Sub direction 400 dpi Grayscale : 4, 6 or 8 bits / pixel Max.
Image Scanner User's Manual Appendix Functions Note: The scanner is controlled by software. Some software does not support all of this scanner's functions. Unsupported functions are not available. The names given to functions in this manual may be different from the names used by the software.
Image Scanner User's Manual ¡ Prescan Function: Scanning the whole available area at a low resolution (60, 75, or 100DPI*). Usage: Use "Prescan" when you want to obtain a quick, low-resolution scanned image. You can then adjust the scan area so that subsequent scans apply to exactly the part of the original you want to scan.
Image Scanner User's Manual ¡ Scanning composition Function: You can scan using one of three compositions; binary, halftone, or multi-value. Binary scanning records only black and white from the original. Halftone scan- ning records gray shades on the original using a pattern of black and white dots to represent these shades.
Image Scanner User's Manual ¡ Binary scanning / Threshold Function: A binary composition scanning converts every pixel on the image to either black or white. If the image contains a gray area, the threshold value determines whether the scanner records it as black or white. If the threshold value is high, the scanner records more pixels as black.
Image Scanner User's Manual ¡ Halftone scanning Function: Halftone creates the illusion of gray scales by simulating shades of gray from pat- terns of black and white dots. Usage: Use halftone scanning when scaning an image with gray shadings such as a photo- graph, to be printed or displayed on a monochrome device, such as a laser printer.
Image Scanner User's Manual ¡ Multi-value scanning Function: Multi-value scanning can record 4, 6, or 8 bits of information for each dot on the image. The 4-bit multi-value data represents 16 different shades of gray, the 6-bit data rep- resents 64 shades of gray, 8-bit data represents 256 different shades of gray. Note that the multi-value scanning uses more memory and disk space.
Image Scanner User's Manual ¡ Area extraction Function: To extract a rectangular area from the whole scannable area. Usage: For example, if you want to extract a photograph from a page, define a rectangle over the photograph, as shown below. The position of the area is decided by setting the X and Y co-ordinates of the left- upper corner of the rectangle.
Image Scanner User's Manual Section area (Multi area settings) ¡ Function: Within the scannable area, you can set rectangular areas and define scanning modes such as binary scanning, halftone scanning, or binary filter etc. for each area. Six areas can be set for one scan. These areas can be piled on top of one another and the last defined area is valid.
Image Scanner User's Manual ¡ Auto photo/letter Function: This mode detects photo (halftone) areas and letter (binary) areas of the original so that the binary areas are scanned in the binary mode, and the halftone areas are scanned in the halftone mode. Note: This function is available only when the optional image processing unit is installed in the scanner.
Image Scanner User's Manual ¡ Resolution Function: To set vertical and horizontal resolution independently at 60, 75, and 100 to 800 dots per inch. The higher the resolution, the finer the detail. However, a high resolution image requires much more memory space and processing time than a low resolution im- age.
Image Scanner User's Manual ¡ Brightness Function: To adjust the brightness value between 1 and 255. A high brightness setting results in a lighter overall image. A low brightness setting results in a darker overall image. Usage: When scanning a dark image, the darker area may appear as deep black although it has gray shades.
Image Scanner User's Manual ¡ Gamma correction Function: To select following gamma correction settings: Normal: Emphasizes contrast slightly to improve a scanned image. Sharp: Emphasizes contrast to sharpen an image. Smooth: Weakens contrast to soften an image. Linear: Outputs an image as scanned. User defined: Your own gamma correction curve is loaded into the scanner.
Image Scanner User's Manual ¡ Binary filter Function: You can use 4 binary filters; noise elimination, smoothing, thickening black lines and edge extraction in binary scanning. Noise elimination: Eliminates independent black or white dots. Smoothing: Flattens uneven dots. Thickening black lines: Thickens thin lines. Edge extraction: Extracts outlines of the image.
Image Scanner User's Manual ¡ Parameter download To download a gamma curve and a dither pattern to the scanner. You can modify the scanned image with your gamma curve and binalize it with your dither pattern. Refer to your software manual for how to download these parameters to the scanner. ¡...
Image Scanner User's Manual Options ¡ Red lamp unit You can use the optional red lamp unit to skip the OCR red images. Replace the lamp unit with the optional red lamp unit as follows. Warning: Never change the lamp unit with the scanner plugged in. The lamp becomes very hot.
Image Scanner User's Manual ¡ Data compression unit Using an optional data compression unit, it is possible to compress the scanned image data by methods known as MH, MR, and MMR. This saves memory capacity. ¡ Video interface unit The optional video interface unit provides a video interface connector. ¡...
