Software Installation – IBM PC or Compatible
Nikon Software
The enclosed distribution diskette Scanning Software for Windows, includes two
scanning software programs, Nikon Scanner plug-in software and Nikon Control . Also
included is a driver for the Nikon CP-3000 Dye Sublimation Printer. The software
utility Eject Coolscan Film is included to assist you in ejecting a slide from Coolscan
scanners within the Program Manager, Windows' File Manager, or DOS.
Nikon Scanner Plug-in Software
The Nikon Scanner plug-in software must be used in conjunction with another
software application. It is called a plug-in because it 'plugs in' to a number of software
applications such as Nikon ImageAccess, Micrografx Picture Publisher and Adobe
Photoshop/PC. The Nikon Scanner plug-in software user interface remains the same
across these and most other popular imaging applications. This allows you to scan from
within different applications as desired, even crossing over from the PC to the
Macintosh, without having to learn a new scanner software interface. Use of the Nikon
Scanner plug-in is explained in detail later in this manual.
Nikon Control Software
Nikon Control is a stand-alone scanning software application that directly sup-
ports the Nikon Scanner plug-in for use with Nikon scanners only. If you would rather
not scan from within another application program, such as Photoshop, Nikon Control
is an easy-to-use application. Use of Nikon Control is explained in detail later in this
manual.
Utility Software
The distribution diskette also contains the software utility Eject Coolscan Film, a
simple software application for ejecting the slide inserted in Coolscan scanners only.
This application has no menu. It will locate Coolscan, send the E
then quit.
Nikon Installer Software
By responding to a few simple prompts and providing a minimum amount of
information, the Nikon Installer will automatically install the Nikon Scanner plug-in
and/or the Nikon Control software onto your hard drive, as requested.
