This User’s Guide provides instructions and illustrations on how to install and operate your scanner. This guide assumes the user is familiar with the Microsoft Windows XP/Me/2000/98. If this is not the case, we suggest you learn more about Microsoft Windows by referring to your Microsoft Windows manual before using your scanner.
NOTE: Windows NT 4.0 does not support Universal Serial Bus (USB) connectivity. Video card that supports 16-bit color or greater Higher requirements might be needed when you scan or edit a large quantity of image data. The system requirements herein are only a guideline, as in general the better the computer (motherboard, processor, hard disk, RAM, video graphic card), the better the results.

Plug and Play. To determine whether your computer is USB-capable, you must check the rear of your PC to locate a USB jack that looks the same as the one pictured below. Note that on some computers, the USB port at the rear of the computer may be occupied and additional ports may be found on the monitor or keyboard.

An OCR program has also been bundled on the included Setup/Application CD-ROM, and if you wish to use the scanner in this way you should install the OCR software that is included.

To learn how to adjust scanner settings, please refer to the Genius Help by clicking the Help button in the Genius TWAIN window.
Installing the Transparency Adapter The transparency adapter is located on the underside of the scanner lid and is a necessary tool when scanning slides or negatives. The transparency adapter already comes installed in your scanner model.
Using the Negative and Positive Film Holders 1. Remove the reflective document mat. Hold the top of the mat, and gently pull it upward until it is separated from the document cover. 2. Insert a filmstrip or a 120/220 film into the proper compartment on the film holder. Adjust the position of the inserted film, so that the desired image appears in the view window.
3. Place the film holder on the scanner glass, and align the positioning aids of the film holder to fit into the indentations at the upper right-hand or left-hand corner of the scanner glass. Ensure that the ready-to-be-scanned film compartment must be positioned on the center of the scanner glass, and the arrow sign of the particular film compartment must be in alignment with the inverse-arrow sign carved on the scanner housing.
The Scanner Utility allows you to turn the scanning lamp on and off, and define an idle time for the scanning lamp to automatically turn itself off. Also, it allows you to define the exact position on the scanning glass where scanning will begin. The scanner lock was designed to hold the scanning lamp in place during shipping, but some refinement of the initial scanning position may still be necessary.
The first step to take when troubleshooting connection problems with your scanner is to check all physical connections. Make sure your scanner is plugged in and the USB cable is fit snugly into the rear of your scanner and computer.
The scanner’s lamp may be turned ON and OFF manually in the Scanner Utility program. While there, you can also set a timer to turn the lamp off after the scanner has been idle for a designated amount of time.
The document cover has been designed for easy removal so that larger items, such as bound books, can be placed on the scanner glass. To remove the cover, open it all the way. Place your other hand firmly at the back of the scanner and lift the document cover, separating it from the back of the scanner.
