This chapter takes you step-by-step through the process of setting up the LS-2000 and installing Nikon Scan.

3.1

Setting up the LS-2000

This section outlines the steps involved in connecting the LS-2000 to a computer. Before using your scanner, you will need to complete the following steps:

• select a suitable location for the scanner

• remove the transport locking screws

• connect the power and SCSI cables

• set the SCSI ID

Step 1—Choose a location for the scanner

Before connecting the LS-2000 to your computer, choose a flat, stable location for it, free from vibration and dust. Do not install your scanner where:

• it would be exposed to direct or reflected sunlight

• it would be subject to condensation or drastic changes in temperature

• it would be subject to radio interference from other electronic devices

• the temperature exceeds 35ºC (95ºF) or falls below 10ºC

(50ºF)

• other objects would block the scanner’s vents

3. Setup

The scanner has feet both on its base and on one side, making it possible to place the scanner either on its base or on its side. When installing the scanner, leave enough space free for ease of operation.

There should be at least 5 cm (2

″

) of space above the unit, and 10 cm (4

″

) behind. Space requirements are illustrated below.

Caution:

The scanner must be installed with the feet down, as shown in the illustrations on these pages. Do not store or operate the scanner in any other orientation.

Step 2—Remove the transport locking screws

Once the scanner is installed, slide the front cover open. Using a coin, remove the transport locking screws from the adapter slot and side panel and screw them into the holes provided on the rear panel.

The adapter slot contains a guard to prevent the transport screw from falling into the scan mechanism when the transport screw is removed. After removing the transport screw from the adapter slot and screwing it into one of the holes on the rear of the scanner, remove the guard and store it in a safe place.

Caution:

Never turn the scanner on with the locking screws in place. Turning the power on in these circumstances could damage the scanner.

Note:

Replace the locking screws and guard when transporting the

scanner (see the “LS-2000 Reference Manual”).

Step 3—Connect the power cable

Before connecting the power cable, confirm that the scanner is off and that the transport locking screws have been removed from the side of the scanner and adapter slot. The scanner is off when the end of the power switch marked “0” is down.

Attach the female end of the power cable to the AC connector on the rear of the scanner and insert the male end into a generalpurpose household outlet.

Safety Precautions

• Use an AC power supply of 50/60Hz and a voltage of from

100V–240V. Be sure to use a power cord rated for the appropriate voltage.

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.

• Do not damage or modify the power cable. Fire or electric shock may result if the cable is placed under heavy objects, exposed to heat or flame, or forcibly tugged or bent.

3. Setup

• Should the insulation become damaged and the wires become exposed, contact your retailer or Nikon service office for replacement. Continued use could cause fire or electric shock.

• Do not handle the cable when your hands are wet. Doing so could cause electric shock.

• The outlet into which the power cable is plugged must be grounded.

Failure to ground the power supply could result in electric shock.

• The scanner and all devices to which it is connected must be connected to a common ground. If a common ground is not used, a ground loop could occur, causing electric shock or static “noise.”

• Do not plug the power cord into an extension cord or multipleoutlet extension, as this could result in fire or malfunction.

• Use an independent outlet whenever possible. If the scanner is plugged into an outlet to which a household appliance such as a vacuum cleaner or air-conditioner is connected, the scanner’s power supply may be subject to noise.

• Unplug the power cable by pulling on the plug, not on the cable itself. Pulling directly on the cord could result in damage that could cause fire or electric shock.

The shape of the cable depends on the country of sale

• Do not connect or disconnect the cable while the power is on.

Step 4—Connect the SCSI cable

The LS-2000 connects to your computer by a Small Computer

Systems Interface, or SCSI. To use a SCSI connection, you will need an appropriate SCSI cable and, in the case of IBM PC/AT compatible computers, a SCSI extension board (“SCSI adapter”) or

PCMCIA card (see the FastTrack Guide and the LS-2000 Reference

Manual for details). This section describes the procedure to connecting the LS-2000 to a SCSI “chain” made up of your computer and SCSI devices connected to it in a series.

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.

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.

Safety Precautions

• Do not damage the SCSI cabling’s protective insulation. Do not forcibly tug or bend SCSI cables, place cables under heavy objects or expose them to heat or flame. When disconnecting cables, handle the cable by the connector, not by the cable itself.

Should the insulation be damaged or the internal wiring exposed, replace the cable immediately.

• Do not handle SCSI cables or devices when your hands are wet.

Step 5—Set the scanner’s 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.”

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.

3. Setup

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

Configured 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.
