    Fast blinking (about 5 times a second): Blinks fast when an error occurs either in the scanner or in communication (ERROR status). Note: The blinking cycle may sometimes be irregular, but this does not necessarily signify a product malfunction.
  • Page 21: Setting Up The Standard Model

    4. Setting Up the Standard Model Before Connection Before connecting the cables, confirm that all devices, including the computer system and the COOLSCAN II, are turned off. For an IBM PC/AT or compatible in which a SCSI board has not been installed, install a SCSI board as explained in the manual supplied with the board.
  • Page 22: Connecting The Power Cord

    4.2 Connecting the Power Cord Before connecting the power cord, confirm that the unit’s power switch is in the off position. Insert the female end of the supplied power cord into the AC inlet located on the rear panel, then insert the plug into the AC power outlet.
  • Page 23: Connecting The Scsi Cable

    4.3 Connecting the SCSI Cable Before connecting the SCSI cable, confirm that all SCSI devices, including the computer system, have been turned off. Connect the unit to the computer using the SCSI cable. After attaching the connector, be sure to lock it in place. You can connect the SCSI cable to either of the SCSI connectors on the rear panel of the unit.
  • Page 24: Scsi Chain Connection With Other Devices

    SCSI Chain Connection with Other Devices If Scanner is connected at the end of the SCSI chain: • Connect the 50-pin full pitch connector of the SCSI cable to the SCSI connector located on the rear panel of the unit, and insert the other end to the SCSI connector of other SCSI device.
  • Page 25 Remarks • The maximum number of SCSI devices that can be connected to one computer is eight including the CPU. When using with a host computer with a built-in SCSI hard disk or built-in CD-ROM, note that SCSI ID numbers have been pre-assigned for the host CPU and the SCSI devices.
  • Page 26: Setting The Scsi Id

    4.4 Setting the SCSI ID The SCSI ID for the COOLSCAN II is set at “5” when the unit is shipped. If other SCSI devices are connected to your computer, make sure that the SCSI ID for the COOLSCAN II is different from those assigned to other SCSI devices.
  • Page 27: Setting Up The Internal-Mount Model

    The internal-mount scanner is shown below. Note that the front of the internal-mount model is identical to that of the standard model. Front panel The front of the scanner includes the film slot and the status display LED. Status display LED Rear panel The rear panel of the internal-mount scanner is shown below.
  • Page 28: Installing The Internal-Mount Model

    Both sides of the internal-mount scanner are identical as shown below. Note the set of two tapped holes on each side. One set of holes on each side of the scanner will be used for the rails as shown in this figure.
  • Page 29 Different computers have their own special requirements for mounting devices in an internal drive bay. In most cases, a pair of guide rails are screwed to the sides of the scanner to enable it to be slid into the drive bay. These guide rails are also used to lock the scanner in place.
  • Page 30 Position the rails at the bottom of the scanner and, while holding the scanner, see if the scanner will slide into the bay rail slots. The guide rail mounting holes The guide rails have a tapered end and a non-tapered end.
  • Page 31 The connectors on both the scanner and the cable are protected with a protruding tab to force the connector to mount properly. Note that Pin 1 on the scanner connector and the cable connector is marked with a triangle, and the wire associated with Pin 1 has a red stripe on it.
  • Page 32 The scanner should slide in easily if the rails are properly positioned. Push the scanner in so that the rear of the scanner aligns with the computer power connector. Warning! The top or bottom of the scanner should not touch anything when sliding into the computer.
  • Page 33: Setting The Scsi Id

    Pull gently on the SCSI cable with one hand to provide slight tension on the cable while the scanner is being pushed in. Do not tug on the cable or allow the cable to fold while pushing in the scanner.
  • Page 34 Determining which ID to use If the scanner is the only SCSI device that will be connected to the SCSI bus, there is no need to change the SCSI ID from the preset value. If the scanner must share the SCSI bus with one or more other peripherals, it is necessary to insure that no two peripherals have the same ID.
  • Page 35 Setting the SCSI ID on the Internal Scanner The SCSI ID is set by a set of DIP switches on the back of the internal-mount scanner as shown below. In most cases, these DIP switches will not be changed. If it is necessary to change the default SCSI ID, change the position of the DIP switches to the proper SCSI ID.
  • Page 36: Terminating The Scsi Chain

    “off” states. To minimize noise, a terminator is placed on each end of the bus. The effects of this termination may be subtle, but are critical to the correct operation of the scanner on bus. Typically, the computer is located at one end of the SCSI bus.
  • Page 37: Scsi Cables Used With Internal Scanners

    One end of this cable will connect to the SCSI controller while the other end will connect to the connector on the rear of the internal-mount scanner. A typical SCSI internal cable is shown below.
  • Page 38: Connecting To The Computer Scsi

    5.6 Connecting to the Computer SCSI The SCSI port on the computer is a connector located either inside the computer or on the rear panel of the computer. There are three basic types of SCSI connectors dealt with in this manual: the 50-pin internal connector, standard 25-pin DB25 type connector, and 50-pin external Centronics connector.
  • Page 39: Setting Up A Scsi Chain With The Scanner

    When the scanner is connected as the only other device on the chain, or as the last device on the chain, the connector of the 50-pin cable will end at the scanner. This case is shown below. Computer internal SCSI...
  • Page 40 Typically, the scanner will be the only peripheral on the internal SCSI bus. If this is the case, the 50-pin cable provided will work. In some cases, the scanner will not be the only peripheral on the internal SCSI bus. When this occurs, the SCSI cable provided will not work.
  • Page 41: Operation

    • Do not turn the power off while the scanner is scanning. • Make sure there is no strip film holder in the scanner during power-up, or the scanner will not calibrate correctly.
  • Page 42: Film Insertion

    6.2 Film Insertion The COOLSCAN II can scan different types of 35mm positive/ negative monochrome/color images. In addition, it can scan a film strip of up to 6 frames or single film ‘chips’. Insertion of Mounted slides The COOLSCAN II can scan mounted slides as they are.

  • Page 46 Insert the film holder in the film slot of the front panel in the scanner , with placing the aperture through which the image is to be read toward the slot. The film holder can be inserted into the COOLSCAN II from either end.
  • Page 47 Mark Remarks • Do not force the film holder into the scanner. • Though the film holder is made of plastic, it will be damaged if film is forced into it.
