A Note Concerning Responsible Use of
Copyrighted Materials
Like photocopiers, scanners can be misused by improper scanning of copyrighted material. Although Section 1070f the U.S. Copyright Act of 1976 (Title 17, United States Code), the “fair use” doctrine, permits limited copying in certain circumstances, those circumstances may not be as broad as some people assume. Unless you have the advice of a knowledgeable attorney, be responsible and respectful by not scanning published material without the permission of the copyright holder.

0
To connect the scanner to a PC, do one of the following: Install a bidirectional parallel interface board in your
computer, if necessary. Then connect the computer to the scanner’s bidirectional interface as described in the next section.
Setting Up the Scanner
1-5
Note:
IBM® PS/2® computers and some other PCs have built-in bidirectional parallel interfaces. You need to install an additional one in these computers only if you use the built-in parallel interface for your printer.
Install a SCSI board in your computer, if necessary. Then connect the computer to the scanner’s SCSI connector as described under “SCSI Setup” on page 1-8.
0
To connect the scanner to an Apple® Macintosh® computer, you do not need to install a SCSI board in your computer; simply connect your scanner to your Macintosh’s built-in SCSI port as described under “SCSI Setup” on page 1-8.
To use an interface correctly, you may need to change settings on the scanner, computer, or both. The following sections explain how to set up and connect each type of interface.

Connecting the Scanner to a Parallel Interface

To connect the scanner to a parallel interface on your computer, use a standard shielded parallel interface cable and follow the steps below.
1-6
Caution:
The scanner’s bidirectional parallel interface requires a
bidirectional interface on your computer. Check your computer’s specifications to see if its built-in parallel interface is bidirectional.
1.
Make sure that both the scanner and computer are turned off.
Setting Up the Scanner
2.
Connect the 25-pin end of the cable to the computer; then tighten the screws on the sides of the connector.
3.
Plug the 36-pin end of the cable into the scanner’s parallel interface connector. Then squeeze the wire clips together until they lock in place on both sides.
Note: If your parallel cable has a ground wire, attack it to the scanner’s ground terminal.
Setting Up the Scanner
1-7

SCSI Setup

For some PCs, you must first install a SCSI board in your computer. All Macintosh computers have built-in SCSI ports; you do not need to install a SCSI board. Follow the directions below to connect the scanner to your PC or Macintosh.
SCSI connections
The SCSI interface allows you to connect up to eight devices, including the computer, in a “daisy chain” arrangement. Only the first SCSI device in a daisy chain is connected to the computer; each of the other devices is connected to the previous device.
Each device has a SCSI ID number: the computer is usually number 7, and each of the other devices must have a different number between 0 and 6. Also, the first device and the last device in the chain (not including the computer) must have terminators. If any other devices in the chain have terminators, the terminators must be turned off. The scanner has two 50-pin SCSI connectors and a built-in terminator that you can turn on or off.
Setting the SCSI ID number
The factory-set SCSI ID number of the scanner is 2. The computer’s SCSI ID number is usually 7. If one of the SCSI devices in your system already has the SCSI ID number 2, change the scanner’s SCSI ID number to an unused number as described on the next page.
1-8
Setting Up the Scanner
1.
Locate the SCSI ID rotary switch on the rear panel of the
scanner.
2.
To change the scanner’s SCSI ID, turn the dial to the desired number.
Caution:
Do not set the scanner’s SCSI ID to a number that is already assigned to another device; the computer, scanner, and other devices will not function properly.
Note:
If your software supports only the ES-1200C scanner, set the dial to the position marked * to select ES-1200C Emulation mode. In ES-1200C Emulation mode, the scanner’s SCSI ID number is 2. If one of your other SCSI devices already has the SCSI ID number 2, change that device’s number to an unused number.
Setting Up the Scanner
1-9
Using the termination switch
The scanner has a built-in SCSI terminator. If the scanner is the only SCSI device you connect to your computer or if it is the
last device in the daisy chain, leave the termination switch
turned on.
If the scanner is in the middle of a daisy chain, turn off the termination switch.
Connecting the scanner to your computer or to another
SCSI device
To connect the scanner to a Macintosh, use a SCSI cable with a 25-pin connector on one end (for the computer) and a 50-pin connector on the other end (for the scanner). To connect the scanner to a PC or another SCSI device, use a SCSI cable with 50-pin connectors on both ends. Connect the scanner as follows:
1.
Make sure that the scanner, the computer, and all other SCSI
devices are turned off and unplugged from the power source.
1-10
Setting Up the Scanner
2.
Connect the 50-pin end of the cable to either the top or bottom SCSI connector of the scanner; then squeeze the wire clips together until they lock in place on both sides.
3.
Connect the other end of the cable to the SCSI port of your computer or other SCSI device.
Note:
The SCSI port of the Macintosh is the larger port with the SCSI icon
4.
Plug in the power cables of your computer, scanner, and other external SCSI devices.
5.
Turn on the scanner and any other external SCSI devices before you turn on your computer.
Turning on your computer and external SCSI devices

Scanner Basics

Recommended Equipment

Your scanner is sufficient for most scanning needs, but if you
are not satisified with the quality of the images on your
monitor or with the speed of image processing, read this
section. While it does not contain specific recommendations, it describes various possibilities for improving your scanning system. For further information, see your dealer or an experienced scanner user.

RAM and hard disk size

Scanned images can use much more memory than text files, so you may need more RAM (Random Access Memory) in your computer and a larger hard disk than you have used
previously.

Accelerator boards

In addition to memory, processing speed is important because
large files take longer to process than small ones. Therefore,
you may want to add an accelerator board to your computer.

video cards

A video card that is sufficient for text may not be good enough for displaying graphic images, especially in color. If all your scanned images look coarse on your monitor, you may want to upgrade your video card. You need 24-bit color, also called true color or millions of colors, to produce the highest quality image
reproductions.
Scanner Basics 2-7
The resolution of your monitor, of course, also affects the quality of the image you see. Consider a high resolution monitor if you do precise color work, but first be sure you have the right video card.

File compression software

Many different programs are available to make image files
smaller for storage or transmission. For example, they can enable you to store a 3MB image file on a 1.44MB floppy disk. Some compression software can compress images and restore them with no loss of data or quality; others compress images more, but the restored file is not exactly the same as the
original. The difference between the original and restored files is, however, almost unnoticeable.

Maintenance

To keep your scanner operating at its best, you should clean it periodically. Before cleaning, unplug the power cable and all
the interface cables connected to the scanner.
Clean the outer case with mild detergent diluted in water.
If the glass of the document table gets dirty, clean it with a soft
dry cloth. If the glass is stained with grease or other hard-to­remove material, use a small amount of glass cleaner on a soft
cloth to remove it. Wipe off any remaining liquid with a soft
dry cloth.
Be sure that there is no dust on the glass of the document table.
Dust can cause white spots in your scanned image.

Troubleshooting
Easy Setup
and software
Make sure that your computer system meets the requirements,
such as the operating system version, specified for your software.
Confirm that the computer has enough memory for your
software. If you are running other software at the same time, using RAM resident programs, or have many device drivers, the computer may not have enough memory left. (See your
Easy Setup,

application software, and computer manuals.)
Make sure that the document is placed flat against the document table.
You may have accidentally moved the document during
scanning. Check the position of the document and do not move it while the scanner is operating.
See that the scanner is not tilted or placed on an unstable
surface.
Part of the image is distorted or blurred.
Part of the document may be wrinkled, warped, or not in
contact with the document table. Be sure the document is
uniformly flat.
Caution:
Do not place heavy objects on the document table.
The edges of the document are not scanned.
The document table has non-readable areas around the edges.
If part of your document extends beyond the maximum limits
marked on the document table edge guides, you may have to
reposition your document so that the image you want to scan is
within the readable area.
Troubleshooting 4-5
Color is patchy or distorted at the edges of the image.
If the document is very thick or warped at the edges, the edges of the image may be discolored. Cover the edges of the document with opaque paper to block outside light.
If part of the document extends beyond the document table, that edge may not be in contact with the document table. Change the position of the document.
The image is faint or out of focus.
Check that the document is placed flat against the document table.
Darken your image with the brightness setting in your software.
The image is too dark.
Adjust the brightness with your software. Also check the
brightness and contrast of your display screen.
Straight lines are jagged in the image.
The document may be placed at an angle on the document table. Position it so that the horizontal and vertical lines are carefully aligned with the scales on the top and side of the document table.
The image does not look the same as the original.
Try different combinations of image settings using your scanner software.
4-6
Troubleshooting
Your software may not have sufficient color matching and color management features, or these components of your software may not be correctly installed. (See your application software and computer manuals.)
If you are importing an image file into your application software, make sure the file format is one your software can read. Also check that the image settings in your application are appropriate for the type of image you want to scan. (See your application software and
A line of dots is always missing in the scanned image.
Scanning Utilities
manuals.)
If this happens in your printed image only, your printer or its print head is probably malfunctioning. (See your printer manual.)
If this happens on both your screen and printout, the scanner’s sensor may be malfunctioning. Consult your dealer.
When halftoning is used, textured patterns of dots appear on particular areas of an image.
This is normal. See your application software manuals for more information on halftoning and moire (interference) patterns.
Colors on your monitor differ from those in the original document.
Check the image settings in your scanner software, especially data format (bits/pixel/color), gamma correction, and color correction. Try a different combination of these settings.
Check the color matching and color management capabilities of your computer, display adapter, and software. Some computers can change the color palette to adjust colors on your screen. (See your application software and computer manuals.)
Troubleshooting 4-7
Exact matching of colors is very difficult. Check your Scanning
Utilities,
application software, computer, and monitor manuals for
information on color matching and calibration.
Printed colors differ from those in the original document.
Exact reproduction of colors is very difficult. See your application software manual for guidance on color matching.
The printed image is larger or smaller than the original image.
The image size settings in your software determine the size of the printed image. Do not use the size of the image on your monitor to judge the printed size.
The printer does not print the image, the printout is garbled, or the
printout is not an image.
Check that the printer is properly connected to the computer and is correctly set up. (See your printer manual.)
Check that your software is properly installed and set up for your printer. (See your application software and printer
manuals.)
