Installing the SCSI Driver Software

The Nikon LS-3510AF SCSI model and all Coolscan models are interfaced to the
computer through the SCSI bus. It is necessary to load the SCSI driver software into the
computer's memory in order to access the scanner. This is typically accomplished by
adding a D statement in the computer's C

The last option in this dialog, D

If you are attempting to use the scanner with a third-party SCSI controller card
you should consider the advantages of running your scanner and hard disk from isolated
buses. There are a wide variety of SCSI controller cards on the market, but not every
card can supply the SCSI functionality required to run your scanner. The required
ASPI driver software is often an additional cost. The Trantor T-130 SCSI controller
card and ASPI software have been certified by Nikon for use with your scanner. For
microchannel use, the Trantor T-260 has been certified by Nikon. Only select C
