Finding the Right Location
CAUTION:
• Place the scanner on a sturdy, level surface.
• Keep ambient room conditions within the following ranges:
Temperature: 5 °C to 35 °C or 41 °F to 95 °F
Humidity: 10% to 90% relative humidity (avoid condensation)
• Av oid placing the scanner in direct sunlight or near a heat source . Parts within the scanner operate at
high temperatures and can cause injury. If placement near a window is unavoidable, be sure to block
direct sunlight with curtains or other devices.
• Do not place the scanner in locations where temperature and humidity levels fluctuate significantly.
Avoid moving the scanner from a hot area to a cold one to avoid condensation, which will adversely
affect scanned image quality. If it becomes necessary to move the scanner between temperature
gradients, allow it to adjust to ambient room conditions before initiating operation.
• K eep the scanner awa y from de vices generating magnetic or electromagnetic interference. Such inter-
ference can cause the scanner to operate incorrectly.
• Avoid placing the unit in areas subject to vibration and dust, or near sources of flame and water.
• Do not position the scanner in laboratories, areas in which chemical reactions occur, or in environ-
ments that have salty or oily air or corrosive gases. These conditions can damage the scanner.
Power Source Considerations
CAUTION:
• Only use power sources (standard household electrical outlets) within the following ranges:
Voltage: 110V to 240V AC ± 10%
Frequency: 50 Hz or 60 Hz ± 2 Hz
• Av oid connecting several devices to the same electrical outlet as the scanner.In particular, avoid con-
necting an air conditioner, photocopier, shredder or a similar device to the same outlet. This may lead
to power drains and noise interference that cause scanner malfunctions. If you must connect multiple
devices to the same electrical outlet, use a power bar equipped with a circuit breaker and a highfrequency noise elimination filter.
• Ensure that the electrical outlet you use for the scanner has sufficient power output.
• If you must use an extension cord, be sure the total combined length of the cords does not exceed 5
meters (16.5 feet). Extensions exceeding this length may cause a drop in voltage, which will adversely
affect scanner operations.

• Enable Disconnection
This setting determines whether the AV A-1502AP SCSI Host Adapter card will allo w a SCSI device to disconnect
from the SCSI bus (sometimes referred to as Disconnect). The default is [No]. Use the [Yes] setting when two or
more device are connected to the host adapter card and the [No] setting when only device is connected.
Advanced Configuration Option
Selecting this option displays the following items:
• ISA Plug & Play Mode
This setting enables Plug & Play functions for an ISA bus. The default is [Enabled]. We recommend leaving this
setting unchanged for the AVA-1502AP SCSI Host Adapter card.
• Plug & Play SCSI Configured AutoMagically (SCAM) Support
This setting enables SCAM support, which allows the AVA-1502AP SCSI Host Adapter card to automatically
assign a SCSI ID to a connected device supporting SCAM protocol. The default is [Enabled]. Use this setting
unless you experience malfunctions arising from older SCSI devices not supporting SCAM protocol.

CAUTION:
• If you intend to use an existing or generic interface cable, first ensure that it is a high-impedance
interface cable.
• Before using an existing SCSI host adapter, always check with the outlet from which you purchased the Film Scanner or with the Canon Customer Support Help Desk listed at the back of this
guide to ensure that it fully supports the Film Scanner. We cannot guarantee that the Film Scanner will function correctly with a noncompatible SCSI host adapter (p. 58).
27
Page 28
1. Determining the SCSI ID
When you connect SCSI devices to y our computer, y ou need to select a unique SCSI ID number f or each de vice.
It is particularly important to ensure that no two devices are set to the same SCSI ID when other SCSI devices
are, or will be, connected to the computer.
Daisy Chain Configuration
1st SCSI device
SCSI ID = 3
2nd SCSI device
SCSI ID = 6
3rd SCSI device
SCSI ID = 4
4th SCSI device
SCSI ID = 2
SCSI host adapter: SCSI ID = 7
SCSI hard disk drive when used as the boot disk: SCSI ID = 0
Several SCSI devices may be connected to a SCSI host adapter or computer SCSI connector in a series, which
is called a daisy chain. To enable the computer to distinguish between devices, each must be assigned a unique
SCSI ID number from 0 to 7.
CAUTION:
• Allowing more than one SCSI device to have same SCSI ID may result in computer malfunctions as
well as the incorrect functioning of the SCSI devices.
SUGGESTION:
• The Film Scanner SCSI ID is set at 2 in the Terminator On range at the factory. Before connecting the
scanner, check your computer’s SCSI settings for internal devices, host adapters and other SCSI
devices to ensure this setting is not already taken. If necessary, change the Film Scanner SCSI ID
setting to an unallocated number as described in the next section of this guide.
• Computers with internal devices, such as hard disk drives, generally reserve the following SCSI ID
numbers. Set your Film Scanner SCSI ID so that it does not duplicate any of these numbers.
0: Internal hard disk drive (boot disk)
1: Internal hard disk drive (when the SCSI controller ID is 0)
7: Host adapter or internal SCSI controller
28
Page 29
2. Selecting SCSI ID and Terminator Settings
The last device in a daisy chain of SCSI devices attached to your computer must be fitted with a terminator or, if
it has the capability, must be set to the Terminator On range.
Your Film Scanner has a built-in terminator that can be set to either the On range or the Off range as required by
your device configuration.
CAUTION:
• Your Film Scanner has been set at the factory to SCSI ID 2 on the Terminator On range. If you are
using your Film Scanner in the middle of a daisy chain configuration, always set the SCSI ID to an
appropriate number on the Terminator Off range.

chain with a SCSI interface cable.
CAUTION:
• Always ensure that the power switches of all devices, including the Film Scanner and your computer,
are in the Off position before attempting to connect the SCSI interface cable . Failure to do so may
cause malfunctions.
• Be sure to use and tighten both screws or fasteners on the connectors when attaching any cable.

About Connectors and SCSI Interface Cables
Your Film Scanner is equipped with Full-Pitch 50-Pin and D-Sub 25-Pin SCSI interface connectors. Check
the shape of the SCSI connector on your computer or SCSI device to ensure that your interface cable can be
used with the Film Scanner.
CAUTION:
• Y our Film Scanner include SCSI interf ace cables (cab le length 1.8 m or 5.9 ft) with a D-Sub 25-Pin
and Full-Pitch 50-Pin connector on either end.
• If you are using a generic or other type of interface cable, ensure that it is a high-impedance type
cable. If the wrong (non-high-impedance) type of cable is used, the Film Scanner may not be
detected by your computer.
• The connectors of SCSI host adapter cards for SCSI II devices on the market are generally of the
Half-Pitch 50-Pin variety. To connect your Film Scanner in this case, purchase an interface cable
with a Half-Pitch 50-Pin connector on one end and a Full-Pitch 50-Pin connector on the other end,
or a Half-Pitch 50-Pin connector on one end and a D-Sub 25-Pin connector on the other end.

3. Basic Information Regarding Film
This section provides an explanation of various film characteristics to assist in selecting films and processing
options.
Film Varieties
The most widely utilized product is 35 mm (135) film, which derives its name from its width. Advanced Photo
System (IX240) film is a recently released product that is compact, easier to use and equipped with added
features.
35mm
35 mm (135) film
The CanoScan 2700F film scanner accommodates both film formats. Please base your selection of either film
based on the camera with which you are shooting.
CAUTION
• The 35 mm and IX240 films are not interchangeable in their respective cameras. An IX240 film cartridge will not fit a 35 mm camera and a 35 mm film will not fit an Advanced Photo System camera.
• The CanoScan 2700F will not scan large-format professional films, such as 4x5 format films.
IX240 film
24mm
Color/Monochrome Films
The CanoScan 2700F can scan both color and monochrome (black and white) films. Moreover, it can scan color
film on a monochrome setting, thereby eliminating the need to use monochrome film for images that will be
ultimately printed in monochrome.
53
Page 54
Negative/Positive Films
Negative films are used to make paper prints and are characterized as having light and dark areas in inverse
order to the original photographic subject.
Negative Color Film
Negative film provides the greatest latitude in selecting exposure (light) settings. An incorrect exposure setting at
the time of shooting can be corrected to a certain extent at the print-making stage. Negative film is recommended
for situations when the photographer doesn’t wish to pay strict attention to exposure settings and when paper
prints are desired.
Howev er , the color of the film base (the substr ate upon which the emulsion is applied) varies betw een film manufacturers and products. As a result, the CanoScan 2700F must perform extra processing to accur ately reproduce
the correct colors of the original film, a task it performs with its Automatic Color Adjustment Function.
Positive film reproduces the light and dark areas of photographic subjects in the same order as they originally
appear, permitting relatively immediate evaluation of the content and colors. Positive films are primarily selected
when the goal is to mount the images in slide covers or use them to make printing plates.
Color Positive Film
Positive film offers less latitude than negative film with exposure settings. Nonetheless, it doesn’t require color
correction to compensate for the variance of film base colors between brands, thereby eliminating the need to
specify the film manufacturer and product name as well as the extra time to process the scanned image with the
Automatic Color Adjustment Function.
54
Page 55
Final Film Formats
At the developing stage, the photographer must choose between placing 35 mm film in a sleeve or mounting it in
a slide cover.
Frame
CartridgeSlide MountSleeve
The standard format for negative film is to place it in a sleeve fitting six frames. Positive film may be placed in
either a six-frame sleeve or individual slide mounts.
In the case of IX240 film, the developed film remains in the cartridge, negating the need for format selection.
The CanoScan 2700F can accommodate all of the above formats, permitting the photographer to freely select
between them according to the constraints of other equipment, such as the camera.
So What Film Is Best?
If a 35 mm camera is to be used, negative color film developed in a standard sleeve is recommended to allow
casual photo shooting and reproduction in the form of paper prints.
If the purpose of the photo shoot is to produce materials for slide presentations and the photographer is technically competent, color positive film is recommended. The final format will depend upon the application.
