At voltages of more than AC 125V: use a power cord that complies with the safety standards of the country in which it is used, which has a plug rated for AC 250V, 15A (NEMA 6P-15) and insulation of SVT type or better, and which is more than AWG18 in thickness. At voltages of AC 125V or less: use a power cord that complies with the safety standards of the country in which it is used, which has a plug rated for AC 125V, 10A and insulation of SVT type or better, and which is more than AWG18 in thickness.

When connecting the LS-30 to a SCSI chain, the scanner's SCSI ID must be set to a number that is not shared by any of the other devices, including the computer itself. The scanner's SCSI ID is indicated by the SCSI ID dial on the rear panel. Before the scanner leaves the factory, the ID is set to "2. " SCSI ID 4 5 23 67 0 When choosing another ID for the scanner, bear in mind that the computer will usually have an ID of either "0" or "7, " and that internal hard disks often have IDs of "0" or "1. " In the case of Macintosh computers, the computer will have an ID of "7, " while the internal hard disk and CD-ROM drive often have IDs of "0" and "3, " respectively. In general, it is recommended that you set the scanner's ID to any number other than zero, one, three, and seven that is not used by another SCSI device. Caution: Assigning the same ID to two different devices could render the computer system inoperable or result in important data on a hard disk being lost or corrupted. 14 Nikon LS-30 35 mm Film Scanner User's Guide 1 3.
