1 I n t ro d u c t i o n

The Polaroid SprintScan 45 multi-format film scanner allows you to capture and convert film images into electronic files that you can edit and incorporate into your documents and presentations. The scanner can be connected to a Macintosh computer, or an IBM-compatible computer with a SCSI host adapter installed (see page 2-6).

For Macintosh users, the SprintScan 45 is shipped with a software plug-in that allows you to acquire images in any Adobe

PhotoShop plug-in compliant application, then edit and print them from within the application. For users of the Windows operating system, the SprintScan 45 is shipped with a Microsoft Windows 95-compliant 16-bit driver. For information on installing and using the software, see the software manual.

The scanner can accommodate 4x5, 2 1 /

4 x 2 1 /

, 2 1 /

4 x 2 3 /

4

, and 35mm film formats. In the 35mm format size, up to four images can be scanned at once. The unit can operate at voltages from 100V to 240V.

The SprintScan 45 scanner captures images at 12 bits per color channel and converts that image data into 24-bit color images with over 16 million colors. It features multiple scanning modes, error-detection and self-diagnostic capability.

1-1

1-2

Scanning modes

The digitized images can contain up to 4000 dpi (dots per inch) of image information. Color is achieved with a tri-color

CCD in combination with a cold cathode fluorescent light source. Two modes are available:

• 8-bit mode: Each dot can be represented by an 8-bit RGB code per color, resulting in 256 levels of gray, or 16.7 million colors. The original is scanned at 12-bits per channel, and the results are optimized to 8-bits per channel to produce a 24-bit

RGB image.

• 12-bit mode: Each dot can be represented by a 12-bit code per color, resulting in 4096 levels of gray or 68.7 billion RGB colors.

Leave at least 2 inches (50mm) of space around all sides and the top of the scanner for adequate ventilation, and leave room at the back to reach the power switch on the rear panel.

Caution: As with any highly sensitive optical equipment, vibrations or bumping the scanner during use may result in picture defects. Locate the unit where it will not be disturbed during use.

SCSI guidelines

About SCSI chains

Termination

The SCSI system uses special cables and termination to achieve communication between the computer and peripheral devices.

To function properly, the combined length of the entire cable system must not exceed 19 1 / 2 feet (6 meters) and must include the appropriate number of terminators. Termination maintains the clarity of the SCSI signal along the chain of devices. A

SCSI chain must always be terminated at both ends. Incorrect termination can permanently damage the computer, scanner, or any other device along the SCSI chain. Refer to the following guidelines and diagrams for more information.

The SCSI chain must be terminated at both ends of the chain.

The beginning of the chain is typically the computer. Most

Macintosh computers include a hard disk which is internally terminated. (If your computer does not include an internallyterminated hard disk, you must place an external terminator on the first device after the computer, between the device and the SCSI cable to the computer.)

Intermediate devices in the chain should not be terminated. If you have an internally-terminated device, place it at the end of the chain. (Check the manual for the device to determine if it is internally terminated or not.) If none of your devices are internally terminated, place an external terminator on the last device.

Setup and use 2-3

Connection tips

The SprintScan 45 scanner is unterminated. If it is the last device in the chain, add a terminator. See the illustrations on pages 2-9–2-10.

Powerbook note: According to Apple Computer, even though this computer has an internal hard disk, you should treat it as an unterminated device. This means that you must have two terminators on the SCSI chain. Apple also advises that if you have only one device connected to a Powerbook, you must have two terminators on this one device. Refer to the documentation included with your PowerBook.

• WARNING: ALL CONNECTIONS MUST BE MADE WITH

THE POWER OFF ON THE SCANNER, THE COMPUTER,

AND ALL SCSI DEVICES.

• Always make SCSI connections firmly, connecting the clips or tightening the screws that secure cables and terminators. Most problems with SCSI devices are connection problems along the SCSI chain.

• The SprintScan 45 scanner has two SCSI connectors; one has

50 pins and one has 25. A SCSI cable can be connected to either port without affecting the performance of your equipment.

• Each device on a SCSI chain must have a unique SCSI ID number. These numbers are described in the following section.

• If a 50-to-50 pin cable is required, be sure to use a cable which meets the SCSI-2 specification, such as an Apple cable.

2-4

SCSI ID numbers

Changing the SCSI ID of the scanner

WARNING: TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO YOUR HARDWARE

AND SOFTWARE, READ THIS SECTION BEFORE TURNING

ON YOUR SYSTEM.

Each device on a SCSI chain must have a unique SCSI ID number from 0 to 6. The Apple Macintosh always uses SCSI

ID number 7. The Macintosh internal hard drive usually uses

SCSI ID number 0 or 1. The SprintScan 45 scanner is set at the factory to SCSI ID number 5. If this number conflicts with your hard drive or any other device on your SCSI chain, you must change either the SCSI ID number of the scanner or the SCSI ID number of the other device. Valid SCSI

ID numbers are from 0 to 6.

The scanner is shipped with the SCSI ID number set to 5.

To change the ID number, do the following:

1 Turn the scanner off and disconnect it from your computer and all other SCSI devices.

2 Locate the SCSI ID switch on the back of the scanner (picture

1). Pressing the button marked (-) or (+) above and below the switch, change the number to an ID number that is unique from other numbers in the chain, from 0 to 6.

3 The new number will take effect the next time the scanner is turned on.

WARNING: IF TWO DEVICES ON A SCSI CHAIN HAVE THE

SAME SCSI ID NUMBER, NEITHER WILL WORK CORRECTLY,

AND DATA MAY BE DAMAGED WHEN YOU TURN ON THE

DEVICES.

Setup and use 2-5

Installing a SCSI adapter in a PC

If you are using a PC-compatible computer, you must have a

SCSI host adapter installed in your computer for connection to the scanner. We recommend an Adaptec SCSI host adapter. Before connection, be sure the settings are correct; check the documentation for your adapter. The SprintScan 45 scanner is compatible with most Windows ASPI-supported adapters (such as Adaptec).

For detailed information about installing the card, refer to the instructions provided with your adapter card.

Connecting the scanner to your computer

WARNING: ALL CONNECTIONS MUST BE MADE WITH THE

POWER OFF ON THE SCANNER, THE COMPUTER, AND ALL

OTHER CONNECTED EQUIPMENT. PAY STRICT ATTENTION

TO THE SEQUENCE OF INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS SECTION.

FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO YOUR

COMPUTER AND/OR THE SCANNER. SUCH DAMAGE IS NOT

COVERED BY THE WARRANTY.

1 Turn off your computer, and then turn off the scanner.

2 Connect the 25-pin end of the data cable to the SCSI port on the back of your computer and the 50-pin end to the 50-pin port on the back of the scanner (picture 2).

2

Warning: Use only the cable supplied with the scanner.

2-6

The second port (25-pin) can be used to connect another SCSI device to the chain, using another SCSI cable.

3 Terminate the signal at the last device in the chain. If the scanner is the last device, connect the terminator provided to the

50-pin port. Then connect the SCSI cable to the terminator

(picture 3). Be certain to use only SCSI-specified cables for all connections in the chain. For details, see pages 2-8–2-9.

3

The diagrams on the following pages will serve as a reference to correct SCSI connections for various system configurations.

4 Change the SCSI address of the scanner, if necessary, by pressing the button marked (-) or (+) above and below the switch; see page 2-5 for details.

Setup and use 2-7

Diagrams of various SCSI configurations

The following diagrams illustrate different configurations.

Find the appropriate configuration for your hardware, and follow the connection diagram and instructions.

Note: The shorter the SCSI chain, the better it will work. Use

SCSI cables that are only as long as necessary. The chain may not exceed 19 1 /

2 ft. (6m) total.

Scanner is the only

SCSI device

Scanner and another

SCSI device which is internally terminated

The hard disk of the computer is internally terminated.

Therefore, you need to add the terminator to the scanner.

Place the terminator between the SCSI cable and the scanner.

Use the SCSI cable provided.

Place the terminated device at the end of the chain and do not add any additional terminators. If any other external device has an internal terminator, the terminator will have to be removed according to the manufacturer’s directions. Use only approved SCSI cables.

2-8

Scanner and another unterminated device

Place the scanner at the end of the chain and use the terminator provided. Do not add any additional terminators. If one external device has an internal terminator, see the previous example. Use only approved SCSI cables.

Tu rning on the scanner

1 With the scanner off, plug the power cord provided into the scanner (picture 4), and then into an appropriate grounded outlet. The scanner can operate over a voltage range from 100 to 240 VAC.

2 Turn on the scanner; the switch is next to the power connector. The POWER indicator light on the front of the unit will light, the cold cathode lamp will come on (visible through the slit on the top of the unit), and the READY indicator will flash briefly. The scanner will perform a self-test that lasts for a few seconds. If no problems are detected, the

READY light will stay lit. The cold cathode lamp will also stay on.

3 Once the ready light is lit, turn on your computer.

3 Close the carrier access door. The scanner will not scan if the door is open.

Note: Do not open the carrier access door while a scan is in process; the scan will be interrupted. The scan will resume when the door is closed, but the quality of the scan may be reduced. Scan again with the door closed for best scanning quality.

4 Initiate the scan from your software. The software will prompt you when the scan is finished.

Removing the carr i e r

1 When the scan is complete, open the door and remove the carrier. Remove the film and store it properly to protect it from dust and fingerprints.

2 Close the carrier access door. The door should be kept closed at all times to protect the mechanism from dust.

2-14

3 C a re and maintenance

M a i n t e n a n c e

Cleaning the cabinet

Lamp and fuse replacement

Warning

Keep the carrier access door closed when the scanner is not in use, to protect it from dust.

Clean with a mild detergent solution. Keep the sponge or cloth barely moist. Do not let moisture inside the scanner.

The lamp and fuse inside the Sprintscan 45 scanner are not user-serviceable. If they require replacement, the scanner must be returned to a designated service location; call Polaroid

Technical Support for information on returning your scanner.

The lamp should be replaced if the READY indicator fails to come on.

Nothing inside the scanner is user serviceable. Do not attempt to disassemble the scanner. To do so could result in severe electrical shock and damage to the scanner. This action may also void your warranty. Contact Polaroid Technical

Support or your authorized repair facility if the scanner is malfunctioning. See Technical Support on page 1-4.

3-1

Tro u b l e s h o o t i n g

When the scanner is powered up, the POWER indicator should come on and the READY indicator should flash. A few seconds later, after the scanner's self-test is completed, the READY indicator should shine steadily. The scanning lamp will come on and should stay on all the time.

Problems can usually be detected when the power is first turned on. This section covers the most common problems and their solutions.

The POWER indicator fails to light up

Turn the power switch off. Make sure that the scanner's power cord is grounded and plugged into an AC outlet. Then, try turning on the power again.

If the scanner indicator still fails to light up, the fuse probably needs to be replaced.

The POWER indicator lights up but the READY indicator fails to stop flashing

This can be caused by:

• a faulty indicator

• a faulty or loose lamp

• detection of a malfunction during the scanner's power-on self-test

Try initiating a scan in the software; the software may report the solution to you.

The POWER and READY indicators light up but software returns "Scanner not ready" or similar message

Make sure that the software is set for the correct SCSI ID and that no other device on the SCSI chain uses the same ID.

The READY indicator continues flashing

The READY indicator flashes if you try to scan while the front cover of the scanner is open. Close the front cover and try scanning again.
