Resolution guidelines

This table shows the recommended resolutions in dots per inch or pixels per inch for the image types and printing methods. Also, you may want to experiment with your scanner settings, possibly using a cropped version of your image to save time, until you achieve the desired results.

Data format

Initialization

The scanner can be initialized (returned to a fixed set of conditions) in three ways.
Hardware initialization:
0
When the power is turned on.
Ll
When the scanner receives an INIT signal at the parallel
interface (pin 31 goes low).
Software initialization:
Ll
When the software command ESC 62 (initialize the scanner) is received.

Default settings

The table below shows the default conditions when the scanner is initialized.

Problems and Solutions
The problems you may have while using the scanner often involve the operation of your software and computer. Problems fall in the following major categories:
Ll
Incorrect setup of the interface
CI
Inappropriate selection of the scanner functions
Ll
Incorrect setup of your computer or software
Cl
Incorrect operation of your software.

Scanner errors

If an error occurs, the scanner stops operating and the and
ERROR
lights show the type of error.
~~

Command error

The scanner received incorrect commands from your scanning software.
When this error occurs, try the scanning operation with your software over again. The scanner returns to normal when it receives correct commands. Normally you do not need to reset the scanner.

Interface error

The interface setup is wrong, or the scanner is not properly connected to the computer.
When this error occurs, check the interface connection. Push the
RESET
button or turn the scanner off and then back on to
reset it.

Fatal error

This indicates one of the following problems:
One or more fluorescent lamps needs to be replaced. The transportation screw is not released. The scanner is broken. There is a problem, such as an open cover, with the optional automatic document feeder.
Check that the transportation screw is released and check the automatic document feeder; then push the the scanner still does not operate properly, try turning the scanner off and then back on. If the scanner still does not operate properly, or if this error occurs repeatedly, consult your dealer.

Option error

This indicates a problem such as a paper jam with an installed option unit.
Check the option unit and correct the cause of the trouble.

Self Test

To run the self test, follow the instructions below:
1. Set the SCSI ID switch to 8.
2.
Turn on the power while holding down the Continue holding the complete. (It takes approximately 10 seconds for self test
initialization to complete. Watch for the LEDs to change in the sequence described below to tell that initialization is
complete.)
Just after power on:
Power LED (green) Ready LED (green) Error LED (red)
After a few seconds:
Power LED (green) Ready LED (green) Error LED (red)
After a few more seconds:
Power LED (green) Ready LED (green) Error LED (red)
Finally, all LEDS are lit
3. You can now release the begins, and the scanner operates automatically.
4.
You can stop the self test either by pressing
turning the power off.
