Configuring And Testing The Gpib - Nikon LS-3510 Software Reference Manual

1-2
If you are using a GPIB interface, select the NB Handler Init in the folder
labeled Drag to System Folder and drag it onto the System Folder on your hard
disk. It will be copied into the Control Panels folder if you are using System 7.
>Caution If you already have a file called NB-Handler INIT installed in your system
folder, move it to another folder before you copy the new file in.
Next, drag the Nikon Drivers disk icon onto your hard disk icon and follow
the prompts. Double click on your hard disk icon to reveal its contents. Now
double click on the Nikon Drivers folder to display the NB Handler Init, the
plugin modules, and the ReadMe documents.
If you are using the built-in SCSI interface on the Macintosh, connect the
DB25 to SCSI II cable adapter to the rear panel connector on the Mac and then to
the Mini 50 pin connector on the Nikon scanner. If this is the only unit on the
SCSI bus, connect a terminator to the second plug on the scanner. Restart your
Macintosh and go on to Using the Plugin Scanning Module.

Configuring and Testing the GPIB

If you are using an NB-GPIB interface card, the NB Handler Init must be in
your startup (boot) disk's System Folder in order for the plugins to work properly.
Using System 7, it should be in the Control Panels folder.
In order for the NB-GPIB interface to communicate properly with the Nikon
Plugins, the NB Handler control panel should be configured to your device address
settings. In particular, it is necessary that the GPIB finds a device called LS-
3510AF, which is the LS-3510AF Film Scanner (or in the case of the LS-3500
scanner, LS3500), when the plugin looks for it. Similarly, if you are using a CP-
3000 printer, then the name CP-3000 must be used by the NB Handler to indicate
the device. If your NB Handler does not have your scanner or printer address
configured properly, the GPIB may not communicate with the device connected.
If you have an old version of the handler in your system folder, remove it
temporarily and replace it with the new version from the Nikon Drivers disk. This
is a preconfigured file for the Nikon LS-3500, LS-3510AF, CP-3000D and FS-
1500 devices. Using this Init will get you running in the least amount of time and
you can reconfigure for other devices later on. If you are using the preconfigured
NB Handler, confirm its correct installation by restarting your machine and
opening your NB Handler control panel from your Control Panels under the Apple
Menu.
