[. . . ] If your computer's operating system supports Plug&Play and the SCSI host (computer or SCSI extension board) conforms to SCAM, the scanner may be automatically assigned an ID which differs from that set using the SCSI ID dial. SCAM will not assign conflicting IDs to SCSI devices. TERMINATOR ON SCSI NB 5 4 3 6 7 MADE IN JAPAN Setup: Setting the SCSI ID 100098 SCSI SCSI 0 1 OFF 2 - 26 - Using the Scanner This chapter covers basic scanner operations, from turning the scanner on to replacing adapters and inserting and removing film. Actual scanning is outlined in the User's Guide and described in more detail in the software reference manuals. Inserting and Removing Adapters The LS-30 uses a variety of adapters to scan different types of film. Adapters are provided for scanning single 35 mm slide mounts and 35 mm film in strips of from two to six frames. An adapter for scanning IX240 film is available for separate purchase. Any of these adapters can be mounted on the scanner while the scanner is on and connected to a computer. Adapters can not be inserted or removed while the status LED is blinking. Open the scanner's front cover and slide the adapter in as shown below, stopping when the adapter is firmly in place. Turning the Scanner On Before turning on your computer, turn on the scanner and any other peripheral devices. The scanner is on when the end of the power switch labeled "1" is down. Power switch on ("1" down) When the scanner is turned on, the status LED will blink while the scanner initializes. Once initialization has completed, turn on any other peripheral devices and then start the computer. (The illustration above shows the slide adapter. The direction of insertion for other adapters is shown below. ) Using the Scanner: Turning the Scanner On - 27 - Cautions · Wait until the status LED glows steadily or the scanner is off before inserting or removing adapters. · If an adapter does not slide in smoothly, remove it from the adapter slot and try again. Do not use force. Using the MA-20 SLIDE MOUNT ADAPTER When scanning 35 mm slides, insert the slide adapter into the scanner, stopping when the adapter is firmly in place. The adapter should be oriented relative to the scanner as shown in the illustration below. Inserting slides Film has an emulsion surface and a base; when examined under a light, the emulsion side is dull and the base shiny. Viewed from the base side, the image appears exactly as it would in a printed photograph. When the photograph is seen from the emulsion side, left and right are reversed, creating a mirror image of what would appear in a print. Using the Scanner: Inserting and Removing Adapters - 28 - When the scanner is installed on its side, insert the slides with the base up and the short side of the aperture facing the scanner. Insert the slide smoothly into the scanner, stopping when it contacts the back of the slot. The correct orientations for inserting landscape and portrait slides are shown below. If the slides are inserted with the top and bottom of the image reversed, this can be corrected after scanning using the software provided with your scanner. Portrait (tall) slide If the scanner is installed on its base, the shiny surface of the film should face to the left and the emulsion surface to the right. Using the Scanner: Using the MA-20 SLIDE MOUNT ADAPTER - 29 - Landscape (wide) slide Do not insert slides with the longer side of the aperture facing the scanner. The scanner will be unable to scan the edges of the film. Note: The best possible results can be achieved only with clean slides. Before scanning, remove dust from the film with a blower and wipe the slide gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove fingerprints. Using the Scanner: Using the MA-20 SLIDE MOUNT ADAPTER - 30 - Slides can be removed from the scanner by pressing the eject button to eject the slide from the adapter and then pulling the slide the rest of the way out with your fingers. Cautions · Do not attempt to insert or eject slides while scanning is in progress. · Do not move the scanner or subject it to shock or vibration while scanning is in progress.
