10% to 80% RH

 

 

Use Fileprint in a work environment that is suitable for Fileprint.

Do not place the unit near large speakers, a radio, a television, or any other type of equipment that can generate a strong magnetic field.

07.5.14, 10:14

BEFORE YOU BEGIN ...

Power supply

If you have any questions about the power source at your work site, contact your supplier or the power company.

The unit should have an independent power source that is not shared with any other electrical device. If you have to use an extension cord or power strip, make sure the total ampere rating for all the equipment does not exceed the ampere rating of the extension cord.

Do not place anything on the power cord, and do not locate the unit where people working around the unit will walk on the cord.

Do not bundle the power cord or wrap it around an object like a table or chair leg. The area around the unit should be clear of all obstacles. In case of an emergency, you should be able to reach the power source quickly to unplug the cord.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN ...

Use only a power supply having the rated voltage. The use of other voltages could result in a fire or electric shock.

Always unplug the power cord by grasping the plug itself. Pulling on the power cord can damage the cord so that the core wires are exposed or snapped and could cause a fire or electric shock.

Do not use an extension power cord as this could cause a fire or electric shock.

Keep the area around the power outlet free of obstacles to ensure that the scanner can be unplugged quickly in the event of an emergency.

Take care not to tip water or flammable solvents such as alcohol, thinners or benzene into the scanner as this could result in a fire or electric shock.

If the scanner will be left unused for a lengthy

period, always unplug the scanner as a safety measure.

To avoid injury when you are moving the scanner, take care not

to put your hands on the metal

protrusions on the underside

of the scanner unit.

 

HEAT CAUTIONS

Avoid touching internal scanner components when you perform routine cleaning or maintenance such as changing the lamp. Some internal components generate high temperatures or high voltages. To avoid injury such as burns or electric shocks, take care also that metal objects such as necklaces or bracelets do not come into contact with internal scanner components.

Features of the Microfilm Scanner 300II

Space saving

The economical design of this compact film scanner requires less space on your desk or work table.

Internal SCSI-USB converter

SCSI-USB converter is built-in, so you can use both SCSI and USB interfaces. See “Preparing the computer (scanner mode)” ( P.20)

Automatic film polarity detection

The unit automatically detects the presence of negative film or positive film and sets itself accordingly.

Uses a variety of film formats

A wide variety of roll/fiche carriers or auto carriers can be installed so you can use several film formats like microfiche, aperture card, and roll film.

Easy operation

Operations like border removal and image trimming can be performed at the press of a few keys before scanning.

Reader-Printer mode (CapturePerfect)

This is a mode which enables the scanner to perform the same Reader-Printer functions as a Microfilm printer does. Scanned images can be printed out directly through a designated printer.

Expandability

By adding the optional DMP board, sold separately, in the Microfilm Scanner 300II, the scanner can be used as a Digital Microfilm Printer (DMP).

Before you use the equipment, make sure you and your co-work- ers read the following warnings about using this equipment.

About operation modes

The following operating modes are available with this scanner. Select one of the following modes according to your system environment before using the scanner. For details, contact your service representative.

Scanner mode

Using this scanner in connection with a personal computer, the image projected on the scanner’s screen can be saved in the PC as image data, or printed out through a printer connected to the PC.

DMP mode

By installing the optional DMP board in the scanner and connecting it to a DMP-dedicated printer, the MS300II can be used as a digital microfilm printer (DMP). The image projected on the scanner’s screen can be printed out through the DMP-dedicated printer. In this case, no personal computer is required.

Reader-printer mode

Using the CapturePerfect bundled with the MS300II, the scanner that is set to the Scanner mode will operate as if it is set to the DMP mode. The image projected on the scanner’s screen can be printed out directly through a printer connected to the personal computer. In this case, however, the image cannot be saved in the PC as image data.

When the DMP board is installed in this scanner, switch the “DMP mode” and “scanner mode” in the user mode before use. ( P.40 “USER MODE”)

If the computer is connected with the user mode set to “DMP mode” when the DMP board is installed in this scanner and the MS300II is used as a scanner, the operation panel may not be operable or other problems may occur.
