Nikon Super CoolScan 4000 ED User Manual page 14

Using Your Scanner with Other Devices (4000 ED Only)
When using the 4000 ED (SUPER COOLSCAN 4000 ED) with other devices connected to the same
bus, observe the precaution below.
When using the 4000 ED with other IEEE 1394/Firewire devices, do not:
• operate the devices
• turn the devices on or off
• disconnect or reconnect interface cables connected to the devices
while the status LED on the front of the scanner is blinking. Failure to observe this precaution could interfere
with the operation of Nikon Scan.
Connecting USB or IEEE 1394/Firewire Devices
When using the scanner with other devices connected to the same bus, observe the precautions
below.
• Connect the scanner directly to the computer. The scanner may not function as expected when
connected to a USB or IEEE 1394/Firewire hub.
• With the exception of a USB keyboard or mouse, the scanner may not function as expected when
used together with other USB or IEEE 1394/Firewire devices. Should you experience difficulties
operating the scanner, we recommend that you disconnect all other devices on the same bus and
reconnect the scanner and computer.
• Do not connect two or more scanners of the same type to the same computer simultaneously.
The description in this manual follows the order of steps you will take when setting up the scanner for
the first time, with the result that the instructions on turning the scanner on follow those on cable
connection. Please note, however, that as a USB or IEEE 1394/Firewire device, your Nikon scanner can
be connected or disconnected while on and can be used immediately following connection. There is no
need to turn off or restart the device each time it is connected.
After disconnecting the interface cable, wait a few seconds before plugging it in again.
