    Connecting the Scanner to Your Computer CONNECTING THE SCANNER TO A POWER SOURCE Follow the steps below to connect your scanner to a power source; the numbers in the artwork correspond to the numbered steps that follow.
  • Page 15 1. Remove the scanner from its box and save any packing material. 2. Place the scanner near your computer. 3. Press the off end (O) of the power switch on the back of the scanner to ensure that the switch is in its off position.

  • Page 16: Making A Scsi Connection

    3. Slide the cover on the back of the scanner to the right to reveal the two SCSI ports, also called SCSI connectors. 4. Find the SCSI port on the back of the computer (not the scanner), and determine whether or not one or more external devices such as a disk drive are already attached to that port in a chain.

  • Page 17: If No External Scsi Devices Are Connected

    1. Be sure power is turned off to your computer and scanner. 2. Select the SCSI II cable supplied with the scanner. 3. Attach the appropriate end of the SCSI cable to the SCSI port on the computer; make sure the cable connector is well seated.

  • Page 18: If External Scsi Devices Are Connected

    Continue here if multiple SCSI devices are connected to your computer in a chain. The following steps will help you determine where you should place the scanner in that chain — either at the end of the chain, or in the middle of the chain.
  • Page 19 A. Attach one end of your SCSI cable to the empty SCSI port on the last device in the chain; make sure the connector is well seated.
  • Page 20 5. Follow this step if one of the connected devices is terminated internally. In this step, you will place the scanner in the chain just before the terminated device; however, you can place the scanner anywhere in the chain between the terminated device and the computer. (The termi- nated device is shaded in the artwork below.)

    3. Scroll the thumbnails by clicking the arrows at either end of the thumb- nails until the image you want to scan is visible. 4. Click the thumbnail of the image you intend to scan in a later step; a red border surrounds the thumbnail and the image appears in the preview image window in the center of the screen.

  • Page 36: Set Output Size (Width/Height, Magnify, Resolution)

    You control what portion of the frame will be scanned and at what resolu- tion. One way you control the part of the frame to be scanned is by drag- ging a crop box as explained above; this results in changing the Scan Area (Width and Height) shown on the screen to the right of the image.
  • Page 37 Scan Area Width, Height, and Input Res (if Output Size Lock is The general rule is that the software will try to change a width or height (output or scan) first, and avoid changing the Magnify value. The only time the software needs to change the magnification is when you have the Out- put Size Width and Height locked, and you crop.

  • Page 38: Adjust Color (Click Balance, Auto Balance, Default Balance, Sharpening)

    Note that the File Size appears on the screen, as does the Scan Area. The scan resolution also appears; in this case it is 3000 dpi, the value that will result in an output Resolution of 1500 dpi with a Magnify value of 200%.
  • Page 39 2. (Optional.) Use the two zoom buttons to zoom in or out on the image. Clicking a zoom button turns it on, then click the image; turn it off by clicking the button again (or it turns off automatically when it reaches its limit).

The results of these actions are visible on the large image, but not on the thumbnail. (The thumbnail only reflects changes to rotation and flipping; other image adjustments are not shown on the thumbnail.)

There is no eject button for a slide; a slide must be removed by hand. Reverse. This button performs two different functions. Tap the button to move the filmstrip to the left (reverse) in fine increments over the current frame.

    This area displays thumbnails of frames you have prescanned. To generate thumbnails, click either the Prescan Frame button or Prescan Strip button. When working with a filmstrip (rather than a film slide), up to 6 sequential thumbnails can be displayed in this area, while with slides only a single image is displayed.

  • Page 50: Total Number Of Prescanned Images

    These numbers, which appear below the thumbnails, do not necessar- ily match the frame numbers on the filmstrip. For example if the first image you prescan is from the middle of a filmstrip, it will still be num- bered “1” under its thumbnail.

  • Page 51: Film Motion (Reverse Eject, Reverse, Forward, Forward Eject)

    Eject moves the filmstrip in the designated direction until the film is clear of the scanner. The buttons are not enabled unless there is a filmstrip in the scanner. There is no eject button for a slide; a slide must be removed by hand.
