Safety Precautions

Daily Maintenance

When you are working around the scanner, follow these precautions to avoid fire and electrical shock.

■ Never install and operate the scanner near flammable substances, such as alcohol,

WARNING

paint thinner, benzene, or any other type of volatile solution.

■ Never damage or modify the power cord, and never place heavy objects on the power cord.

■ Always make sure that your hands are dry when you are handling the power cord or plug. Never grasp the plug when your hands are wet.

■ Never plug the scanner into a multiplug power strip.

■ Never bundle, wrap, or tie the power cord around itself or another object. Connect the

plug securely into the power source.

■ Use only the power cord and plug provided with the scanner.

■ Never attempt to disassemble or modify the scanner.

■ Never use flammable aerosol products near the scanner.

■ Before you clean the scanner, turn the power OFF and disconnect the power cord

from the power outlet.

■ To clean the scanner’s exterior, use a firmly wrung cloth, moistened slightly with water or mild detergent. Never use any type of volatile solution, such as alcohol, benzene or paint thinner.

■ If you hear strange sounds, detect smoke or abnormal heat, sense vibration, or smell odd odors around the scanner, turn OFF the power switch immediately and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet. Call for service immediately.

■ Handle the scanner with care. Avoid shocks and vibrations to the scanner caused by reckless handling. If you suspect the scanner has been accidentally damaged, turn OFF the power switch immediately and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet. Call for service immediately.

■ Before you move the scanner, always turn OFF the power and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet.

CAUTION

■ To avoid damage to the scanner, never place the scanner on an unstable or vibrating surface. The scanner may tip or fall over, causing injury.

■ To avoid overheating and causing a fire, never block the air vents on the back of the scanner.

■ Keep all liquids, beverages, or any type of liquid, and clips, staples, necklaces, or other metal objects away from the scanner. If you accidentally spill liquid or drop a metal object into the scanner, turn OFF the power immediately and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet. Call for service immediately.

■ Never install the scanner in humid or dusty locations. Doing so may cause a fire or electrical shock.

■ Never place heavy objects on top of the scanner. Such objects may tip or fall over, and cause injury.

■ When you remove the power cord, grip it by the plug head. Never attempt to disconnect the power cord from the power outlet by pulling on the power cord. Doing so, may expose or break the core leads, damage the power cord, and cause a fire or electrical shock.

■ Keep the area around the power outlet clear of all obstacles so you can disconnect the power cord easily at all times.

■ Never spill water or volatile solutions (alcohol, benzene, paint thinner) into the scanner. Doing so, may cause a fire or electrical shock.

■ When the scanner is not being used for a long time, disconnect the power cord from the power outlet.

■ Avoid wearing loose fitting clothing, dangling jewelry, long ties, or even long hair that could become entangled with moving parts, especially the rollers that feed paper into the scanner. If such objects become entangled, immediately disconnect the power plug from the power outlet to stop the scanner.

■ Be very careful when you are loading a document or clearing a paper jam. You may be injured unexpectedly. For example, the paper edges may cut your fingers.

■ Do not open the maintenance cover while the scanner is operating. Doing so may result in a malfunction or injury.

■ Do not directly touch the pins and contacts on the scanner connectors with your hands. Doing so may result in a malfunction.

Chapter 2 Preparation Before Use

Setting Up the Scanner

Perform the following steps to set up the CR-180. Refer to the section for each step for details about that step.

1. Check your operating environment (See “Checking Your Operating Environment,” on p.17.)

2. Install the software (See “Installing the Software,” on p.19.)

Install the Scanning Utility provided with the CR-180.

3. Connect the scanner to a computer (See “Connecting the Scanner to a Computer,” on p.23.)

You need to turn off the computer before connecting the CR-180 to it with a SCSI cable.

4. Turn ON the power (See “Turning ON the Power,” on p.26.)

Turn on the CR-180 before turning on the computer if they are connected with a SCSI cable.

5. Automatically installing the device driver (See p.27.)

The device driver is installed automatically when Windows recognizes the CR-

180.

Important

● To have the device drivers installed automatically when the computer recognizes the CR-180, the software needs to be installed before the CR-180 is connected to the computer.

● If you connect the computer and turn on the CR-180 before installing the software, the following wizard appears. If this happens, click [Cancel] to close the wizard’s window, turn off the CR-180 and then install the software.

Wizard Screen (Windows 2000)

2.2 Checking Your Operating Environment

• 100 MB or more free space on the hard disk

● One of the following operating systems:

• Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional SP4

• Microsoft Windows XP SP2

● Interface card

Use the Hi-Speed USB 2.0 interface that is standard on your computer or use either the USB 2.0 interface card or the SCSI card recommended for the CR-

180.

Adaptec USB2.0 Interface Card (for PCI bus)

• USB2connect2000LP (AUA-2000)

• USB2connect3100 (AUA-3100LP)

• USB2connect5100 (AUA-5100)

Adaptec USB2.0 Interface Card (for Card bus)

• USB2connect for Notebooks (AUA-1420)

Adaptec SCSI Card (for PCI bus)

• AHA-2930U, AHA-2940AU, ASC-19160, ASC-29160

Adaptec SCSI Card (for Card bus)

• APA-1480

● Interface cable

Use the Hi-Speed USB 2.0 interface cable provided or purchase one separately to connect the CR-180 and the computer via a USB interface. To use the SCSI card for the connections, check the shape of the connector on the SCSI card and use a SCSI cable with connectors that can be connected to the scanner. The scanner’s SCSI connector is a half-pitch 50-pin (pin type) connector.

● Monitor that can display a resolution of 1024 x 768 (XGA) or greater is recommended.

● Either an ISIS (compatible) or a TWAIN (compatible) application that operates on one of the operating systems noted above.

Chapter 2 Preparation Before Use

● Use the latest USB 2.0 driver when using USB connections. Contact your local

Important

retailer for details.

● Operation is not guaranteed for any USB interface that is standard equipment on a computer. If the USB interface that is standard on your computer does not allow for normal operations, use the Hi-Speed USB 2.0 interface card that is recommended.

● Use the USB cable provided or a cable that supports Hi-Speed USB 2.0.

● If the CPU, memory, SCSI card, or USB interface card does not meet the

recommended specifications, the scanning speed may slow down, or the time required to transfer data may increase.

● Even if the computer satisfies the recommended specifications, the scanning speed may be low depending on the scan settings.

● The ISIS/TWAIN driver provided may not operate with all ISIS compatible applications or TWAIN compatible applications. For details, contact your local software retailer.

2.3 Installing the Software

Installing the Software

The following software applications are provided on the setup disc that is packaged with the scanner. Be sure to open and read the Readme.txt file on the setup disc before installing the software.

● Scanning Utility

This utility software is a dedicated software application for the CR-180. A dedicated scanner driver is installed after you install the utility software.

● ISIS/TWAIN driver

This scanner driver should be used with ISIS (Image and Scanner Interface Specification) compatible or TWAIN (Technology Without Any Interested Name) compatible software. Install it, only if it is required.

● The Scanning Utility includes a device driver so that Windows can recognize the CR-

Important

180. Be sure to install the Scanning Utility before connecting the CR-180 to the computer.

● The ISIS/TWAIN driver provided with the scanner does not necessarily operate all ISIS compatible or TWAIN compatible applications. Contact your software dealer or service representative for further information.

● Some functions mentioned in this manual may not be operated in some applications.

Installing the Scanning Utility

Follow the instructions below to install the Scanning Utility and the dedicated driver.

The dedicated scanner driver is installed after the Scanning Utility has been installed.
