Connecting the SCSI Cable
Communication between your computer and the LS-2000 relies on the Small Computer System Interface, or SCSI, standard. For connection to the scanner and other SCSI devices, a
SCSI controller must be installed in your computer. While
Macintosh computers come with a SCSI controller built-in, most
IBM PC/AT compatibles require a SCSI controller to be installed in the form of a SCSI expansion board or PCMCIA card. Nikon recommends Adaptec SCSI adapters with the 32-bit version of
WINASPI.DLL for computers running Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0 (a list of adapters that have been tested and approved by Nikon is provided separately).
To install a SCSI adapter in a computer running Windows 95 or
Windows NT 4.0, follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer. In the case of expansion boards and some
PCMCIA cards, it is necessary to turn the computer off and disconnect the power cable and all peripheral devices before beginning installation. When the computer is powered on after installation, the Windows Hardware Wizard should detect the
SCSI adapter and, if necessary, prompt you to install driver software for the device. Once installation is complete, check to be sure that the system resources used by the adapter do not conflict with those used by other devices. If any conflicts are found, resolve them as instructed in the manufacturer’s manual.
✔
Caution:
Do not attempt to connect the scanner to your computer until a SCSI adapter has been installed and any resource conflicts resolved.
After installing a SCSI adapter on a computer running Windows 95, check for resource conflicts.
1. Click the My Computer icon with the right mouse button and select Properties from the menu that appears. The
System Properties window will be displayed. Open the Device Manager tab.
SCSI controller
2. If the card has been installed correctly, the System Properties window will contain a “SCSI controllers” icon. If “?” “!” or “
✘
” is showing next to the name of the SCSI adapter, there is a problem which must be resolved before the scanner can be connected. To determine the cause of the problem, select the adapter icon and click the Proper-
ties button to view the drivers and system resources for the device.
Setup: Connecting the SCSI Cable
- 21 -
SCSI devices are connected to the computer in a “daisy chain.”
Up to eight devices, including the computer and any internal
SCSI devices such as hard drives and CD-ROM drives, can be connected in a SCSI chain. The first and last devices in the chain must be terminated, i.e., fitted with special circuitry to reduce noise, making the connection more reliable. If the
LS-2000 is the last device in the chain, it can be terminated using the termination switch on the rear of the scanner. Except in the case of some laptop computers requiring external terminators, the other end of the chain will be terminated inside the computer, either at the SCSI adapter or at an internal drive. In the case of IBM PC/AT computers with internal SCSI devices, it may be necessary to remove termination from the SCSI adapter board before connecting external devices.
To connect the scanner to the SCSI chain, a SCSI cable with a male half-pitch 50-pin connector is required. The other end of the cable must match the connector on the devices to which the scanner is to be connected. For direct connection to most
Macintosh computers, a 25-pin D-sub connector will be required (Macintosh laptop computers use a different type of connector). SCSI boards for IBM PC/AT computers will usually be provided with a 25-pin D-sub connector, a 50-pin Centronics connector, or a half-pitch 50-pin connector with the pins arranged in two separate rows or attached to a central “finger.” If the correct type of cable is not available, an adapter can be attached to one or both ends of the cable. To prevent interference, SCSI cabling should be of a high-impedance type and be as short as possible. The total length of cabling in a SCSI chain must not exceed six meters (twenty feet), but be aware that the reliability of the SCSI interface will drop as the length of the cable increases.
A SCSI cable is provided with scanners sold in the United States and Canada. If your scanner was purchased in another region, before connecting the SCSI cable you should attach the ferrite core provided with your scanner (the cable provided to customers in the United States and Canada does not require a core). Place the SCSI cable in the center of the open core and close the core tightly. The core should be attached as far as possible from the scanner; i.e., as close as possible to the other device to which the cable is attached. Attach the plastic tie on the scanner side of the core to prevent the core from sliding out of position.
1. Close and latch core
2. Place tie around cable and pull tight

SCSI devices cannot be connected while the power is on.
Before connecting the scanner to the SCSI chain, be sure that the computer and all other devices in the chain, including the scanner, are off. How the scanner should be connected to the chain depends on whether it is to be located between other devices or attached at the end of the chain.
When the scanner is the last device in the chain
Set the terminator switch on the rear of the scanner to ON.
Connect the other end of the cable to the next device in the chain. If the scanner is the only external device in the chain, connect the cable to the computer’s SCSI port.

SCSI Connection Checklist
• Turn off the computer, the LS-2000, and all SCSI devices before connecting the scanner.
• Be sure that the devices at both ends of the SCSI chain are terminated. If the host computer is a Macintosh, the chain will already be terminated at the computer end. In the case of IBM PC/AT compatibles in a chain which contains external devices only, the chain should be terminated at the SCSI board. In the case of a chain which includes internal devices, you may need to remove termination from the board and terminate the last internal device.
• The maximum number of SCSI devices that can be connected in a single chain is eight, including the computer and any internal SCSI devices such as hard disks or CD-ROM drives.
• The total length of cabling in the SCSI chain should be no more than six meters (twenty feet). The longer the cabling, the less reliable the connection.
• When using a SCSI extension board with an IBM PC/AT compatible computer, be sure that you have the latest available driver software for your board. If you experience trouble with SCSI connections, contact the manufacturer to learn whether an updated driver has been released.
Setting the SCSI ID
Each device in the SCSI chain has a unique ID, which is a number between zero and seven that the computer uses to distinguish between different devices. When connecting the LS-2000 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

7
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.

To change the scanner’s ID, turn the scanner off. Then, using a screwdriver, turn the dial on the back of the scanner to choose a new ID.
Note: The LS-2000 conforms to Level 1 of the SCAM (SCSI
Configuration Auto-Magically) SCSI-selection standard, which allows some computers to set the scanner’s ID automatically. 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.

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.
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.
Inserting and Removing Adapters
The LS-2000 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.
Other adapters are available separately for scanning IX240 film and for consecutive scanning of 35 mm slides.
All of these adapters can be mounted on the scanner while the scanner is on and connected to a computer. To mount an adapter, check that the status LED is glowing steadily. 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.
Power switch on (“1” down)
When the scanner is turned on, the status LED will blink while the scanner initializes. Initialization is complete when the LED glows steadily. 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.)

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.
Using the Scanner: Inserting and Removing Adapters
Inserting slides
Film has an emulsion surface and a base; when examined under a light, the emulsion side is dull and the base shiny. Looked at from the base side, the image is exactly as it would appear in a printed photograph, while when seen from the emulsion side, the image is reversed.
- 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.

Inserting film
To scan a film strip, grasp the film gently by the sides and slide the it into the adapter’s film slot a short distance. The adapter’s feed mechanism will be activated and the film will be fed into the scanner automatically.
As is the case with mounted slides, strip film should be inserted with the base up and the emulsion surface down. The film is in the correct orientation if the frame numbers on the film are not reversed. The film’s edges should be flat or curled slightly downward. Do not use film which curls upwards or which is curled more than 3 mm, as the film may jam or fail to scan properly. Film for use in the scanner should fit in the gauge on top of the adapter.

Film will be ejected from the scanner automatically when the scanner is turned on or when no operation is performed for several minutes. Film can also be ejected using the software provided with your scanner. For details of scanning operations, refer to the User’s Guide or software reference manual.
Note: Due to varying degrees of curl in strip film, autofocusing
may not perform well when scanning the portion of the image close to the front edge of the first frame. If you experience problems with autofocus, eject the film, turn it around so that the first frame is now the last, then re-insert the film and scan the last frame. You can also scan the frame in the MA-20 using the FH-2

Cautions
• The latch button will lock when film is fed from the cartridge into the scanner. Do not attempt to open the latch until the film has rewound or been ejected as described in “Removing
Film,” immediately below.
• Do not remove the adapter with film inside and the cover closed. Open the cover and remove the film before replacing the adapter.
• Do not insert undeveloped film in the adapter.
• Do not move the scanner while scanning is in progress.
• The number of times IX240 film can be unwound from the cartridge is limited. When scanning IX240 film, scan as many images in a session as possible to minimize the number of times the film is wound and unwound. If you notice an unusual noise when scanning IX240 film, remove the film as described below and take it to a developer to have a copy made. Use the copy when making further scans.

Connecting the SF-200 to the scanner
The scanner must be on its base before the SF-200 can be inserted. If the scanner is currently installed on its side, turn the scanner onto its base, with the power switch to the left when viewed from the front. Slide the SF-200 into the scanner’s adapter slot, stopping when the feeder contacts the back of the slot. The SF-200 should be oriented as shown below when inserted. Push the feeder until the connector on the rear of the feeder is seated securely in the socket at the back of the slot.
The SF-200 is properly inserted if the status LED on the front of the feeder lights when the scanner is turned on. If the scanner is on when the SF-200 is inserted, the feeder’s status LED will blink once to indicate that the feeder has been inserted correctly. In all other respects, the feeder LED functions in the same way as the scanner status LED.
✔
Caution:
When the feeder is inserted with the power on, or the scanner turned on after the feeder has been inserted with the power off, the feed mechanism will return to the initial position.
While this operation is in progress, the status LED on the front of the feeder will blink. Do not perform any operations while the LED is blinking.

To LS-2000➞
• Do not load slides in the feed magazine past the load mark, as this may cause the feeder to jam.
• Do not move the scanner while scanning is in progress.
• Remove scanned slides from the ejection magazine before the magazine is full. Continuing scanning when there is no room left in the ejection magazine could jam the feeder.
• Do not remove the feeder while scanning is in progress.
• Before turning the scanner off or removing the feeder, make sure that all slides have been removed from the magazine and that the last slide to be fed has been ejected.
Warped slide mount
• The feeder does not function equally well with all makes of slide mount. Makes that have projecting parts or are not of an even thickness may jam in the feeder.

Removing slides
Slides will be sent to the ejection magazine after scanning. To remove slides from the ejection magazine, pull back the push plate and remove the slides. Slides must be removed before the ejection magazine fills up.
The attachment utility window will appear on the desktop. If more than one scanner is attached to your computer and powered on, select the scanner to which the SF-200 is attached from the select a scanner pop-up menu.
Using the feed-mechanism attachment
Thick mounts (over 2 mm thick) with rounded edges may not feed properly when used with the SF-200. A removable plastic part is provided for attachment to the feed mechanism, enabling the scanner to feed such slides. A special attachment utility program, provided with the Nikon Scan software that came with your scanner, is required both when attaching this part to and removing it from the feed mechanism.
To attach the feed-mechanism attachment, both your scanner and computer must be on. After inserting the SF-200 into the scanner as described above, open the Utility folder in the folder to which you installed Nikon Scan and then double-click the Attachment Utility icon to start the attachment utility.

Click the double right-arrow button in the attachment utility to move the feed mechanism to where it is fully visible. If you move the feed mechanism too far, click the left-arrow button to move it back. The single-arrow buttons can be used for fine adjustments. Once the feed mechanism is visible, insert the pegs on the attachment into the holes in the feed mechanism.
When scanning slides with flat mounts or slides less than 2 mm thick, you will need to remove the attachment. Use the attachment utility as described above to move the feed mechanism into the magazine, then remove the attachment and click OK to return the feed mechanism to its initial position.
What to do if the feeder jams
If a jam occurs, open the magazine cover and remove the slides remaining in the feed and eject magazines. Pull back the feed push-plate and hook it in the notch so that it does not spring back to its original position.
The method for resolving a jam depends on the position of the feed mechanism when the jam occurred. If the jammed slide is visible in the magazine and the feed mechanism has returned to its housing in the front of the unit, the jammed slide can be removed with your fingers. If the feed mechanism has locked while feeding a slide, you will need to use the attachment utility to resolve the jam (the attachment utility is a special program for the SF-200 distributed with the Nikon Scan software that came with your scanner).

Maintenance
This chapter describes how to clean, store, and transport the
LS-2000.
Cleaning
Before cleaning the scanner, turn it off and unplug the power cord. Remove adapters from the scanner before cleaning them.
The exterior of the adapters and the front of the scanner are made of plastic, and consequently cannot be cleaned with volatile cleaners such as alcohol or paint thinner. Use a blower to blow off dust or wipe the surface with a dry cloth. Remove dirt from the metal rear panel of the scanner using a soft, dry cloth. If this is not sufficient to remove all dirt, clean with a cloth that has been slightly dampened with a neutral detergent or liquid soap.
✔
Cautions
Storage
When you do not plan to use the scanner for an extended period of time, remove any film that may be in the adapters and take the adapters out of the adapter slot. Turn off the scanner, unplug it, and disconnect it from the computer. Close the sliding cover to prevent the accumulation of dust inside the adapter slot. Store the LS-2000 in a dry, well-ventilated environment, away from electronic equipment such as televisions or radios which produce strong magnetic fields. Do not store the scanner where the temperature exceeds 60ºC (140ºF) or goes below -20ºC (-4ºF), or where the relative humidity falls below
20% or exceeds 90%.
• Do not use water or a volatile liquid such as alcohol, benzine, or thinner. Should any of these liquids come in contact with the interior of the scanner, fire, electric shock, or malfunction could result.
• Volatile liquids such as alcohol, benzine, or thinner could stain the exterior of the scanner and adapters.
Periodically unplug the power and SCSI cables and wipe the dust off with a damp cloth. Do not allow dust to collect on the plug, as this could cause fire.
Maintenance: Cleaning
- 49 -
Transport
The LS-2000 is for use only in the country of sale. Nikon will not be held responsible for consequences resulting from use overseas.
The scanning mechanism must be locked in its home position for transport within the country. To return the scanning mechanism to its home position, remove any adapters from the adapter slot and then turn the scanner on. The status LED will blink while the scanning mechanism returns to the home position.
Wait until the status LED glows steadily, then turn off and unplug the scanner. Place the guard in the adapter slot as shown below, sliding it in until it contacts the back of the slot.
Remove the transport locking screws from the rear panel and screw them into the holes provided in the side panel and the mouth of the adapter slot (the hole in the mouth of the slot should align with the hole in the guard). Close the front cover and pack the scanner and adapters in the original packing material for transport.
✔
Caution:
Do not transport the scanner without first locking the scanning mechanism with the transport lock screws. Moving the scanner without the lock screws in place could damage the mechanism.

Troubleshooting
If you should encounter problems with your scanner, check the following before contacting your retailer or Nikon representative. If the problems occurred during scanning, you may wish to refer to the software reference manual for advice on troubleshooting scanning problems.
Problem: the status LED does not light
Checklist
• Is the power switch set to ON?
The scanner is on when the end of the power switch labeled
“1” is down. See the Fast Track Guide or the “Using the
Scanner” section of this manual.
• Is the power cable properly connected at both ends?
After making sure that the scanner and any devices to which it is connected are switched off, connect the power cable as described in the Fast Track Guide or the “Setup” section of this manual.
Problem: the scanner will not scan
Scanning problems are often related to a problem in the SCSI connection or to improperly installed software. In rare situations, there may be a problem with the system itself, in which case a complete reinstall of the operating system may be necessary.
SCSI checklist
Before checking the items listed below, make sure that the scanner and any devices to which it is connected are off.
• Is the SCSI cable loose or not connected?
Check the SCSI cabling to be sure that the cable is firmly connected to the connectors.
Troubleshooting
• Are both ends of the SCSI chain terminated?
If the SCSI chain is not properly terminated, you will experience intermittent problems with all SCSI devices. The chain must be terminated at both ends: if you have a IBM PC/AT compatible with a SCSI expansion board and no internal
SCSI devices, check that the board is terminated (refer to the manufacturer’s manual). If you are using an IBM PC/AT compatible with a SCSI expansion board and internal SCSI devices, remove termination from the board and terminate the last internal device in the chain. If the scanner is connected at the end of the chain, set the terminator switch to
ON. If the scanner is connected between other SCSI devices, terminate the last device in the chain and set the terminator switch on the scanner to OFF. If there is an unused SCSI connector at the end of the chain, place an independent terminator on this connector even if the device is connected to the chain using a through terminator. See
“Setup” in this manual.
• Does the cabling total more than six meters in length?
For a reliable connection, SCSI cabling should be as short as possible. Use short, high-impedance cables.
• Is the scanner’s ID the same as that of another SCSI device?
Each SCSI device must have a unique ID. Set the scanner’s
ID to a number not used by any other devices in the chain.
Remember that the computer is assigned an ID, usually “0” or “7,” while internal hard disks often have IDs of “0” or “1.”
In the case of Macintosh computers, the host computer has an ID of “7” while “0” and “3” may be assigned to an internal hard disk or CD-ROM drive.
- 51 -
• If you are using an IBM PC/AT compatible computer, has your SCSI board or PCMCIA card been tested and approved by Nikon?
A list of Nikon-approved SCSI adapters is provided separately. If your adapter is not on this list, you may need to purchase and install a Nikon-approved adapter before your scanner will work.
• If you are using an IBM PC/AT compatible computer, do you have updated drivers for your SCSI adapter?
SCSI drivers are updated as new SCSI devices appear on the market and as incompatibilities are found with existing SCSI devices. Check with the board’s manufacturer to determine whether problems have been discovered with your existing driver and if so, how to obtain replacement software. If you are using a Nikon-approved Adaptec SCSI adapter, information can be obtained on the World-Wide Web at the following site: http://www.adaptec.com (note that this URL may have changed since this manual was written).
• If you are using an IBM PC/AT compatible computer, do the system resources used by your board conflict with those allocated to other devices?
Resource conflicts can be identified in Windows 95 by opening the System Properties window and clicking the
Device Manager tab as described in the “Setup” section of this manual. If there is a conflict, it may be possible to resolve it from the Device Manager, or it may be necessary to set jumpers on the board. Follow the instructions in the manual for the SCSI adapter.

• Does your computer system satisfy the requirements given in “Parts and Accessories” in this manual and in the User’s
Guide?
• Is the software installed correctly?
Installation instructions are given in the Fast Track Guide and the software reference manual.
As a last resort, it may be necessary to reinstall the scanner software. Follow the instructions for de-installation given in the software reference manual for your platform, then restart your computer and reinstall the software as instructed in the Fast
Track Guide or software reference manual.
In the case of IBM PC/AT compatibles, it may be necessary to reinstall the drivers for the SCSI board. To do so, click the My
Computer icon with the right mouse button and select Prop-
erties from the menu that appears. This will open the System
Properties window. Click the Device Manager tab and select your SCSI adapter from under the list of SCSI controllers (if your adapter is not listed, check whether there is a SCSI controller listed under “Other Devices” category and if so, select it instead). Click the Remove button at the bottom of the
System Properties window and select OK in the window that appears. If a message appears stating that it is not clear whether the device can be removed safely, click Test. Uninstall the scanner software as described in the Window’s software reference manual, then power down the computer. After ensuring that all SCSI devices, including the scanner, are off, turn on your computer and start Windows. After installing the driver software for the SCSI adapter as described in the manufacturer’s manual, follow the steps given in the Fast Track and user’s guides to set up your scanner and reinstall the scanner software.
Troubleshooting

Problem: a “no adapter in device” error appears
If the software displays a “no adapter in device” error when you attempt to scan, check that there is an adapter in the device and that it is fully inserted in the adapter slot. In the case of the
SA-20, the optional IA-20 IX240 adapter, and SF-200 slide feeder, the scanner will not recognize the adapter unless the connector on the rear of the adapter is fully inserted in the connector at the back of the adapter slot.
Problem: the status LED on the SF-200 does not light
If the status LED on the optional SF-200 slide feeder does not light when the adapter is inserted in the scanner, check the following items.
• Is the scanner on?
• Is the slide feeder properly connected to the scanner?
After confirming that scanning is not in progress, remove and reinsert the adapter as described in “Using the Scanner” in this manual.
Problem: the quality of scanned images is poor
Checklist:
• Is there dust on the film?
Remove dust from the film with a blower and scan the image again.
• Is the film to be scanned properly inserted in the scanner?
Reinsert the film and try again.
• Did you move the film or scanner while scanning was in progress?
Do not attempt to insert or remove film while scanning is in progress. Moving the scanner while the status LED is flashing could cause malfunction. Install the scanner in an environment free of vibration and shocks.
• Are you using the software correctly?
Refer to the User’s Guide and software reference manuals for details on how to adjust image quality prior to scanning.
