1.1 Turning the Scanner ON

Because the power supply of this scanner is linked to the power supply of your PC, fi-60F is not
equipped with a separate power button or switch.
If you keep connecting the AC adapter to the the scanner, plugging the AC cable into a power out­let, and connecting the scanner to your PC, you can use the scanner without reminding of the
switching.

If you turn on your PC...

The Scanner LED lights when starting up Windows (Scanner turned on)

If you turn off your PC...

The Scanner LED goes out when shutting down Windows (Scanner turned off)

You can also turn off the scanner by doing the following:

• Disconnect the USB cable from the scanner or PC.

• Disconnect the AC adapter from the scanner.

• Unplug the AC cable from the power outlet or the AC adapter.

■ Power Save Mode

The Power Save mode keeps the scanner in a low-powered state after it has been turned ON.
If no operation is performed on the scanner for 15 minutes, the scanner automatically switches to
the Power Save mode.
To return from the Power Save mode, perform a scan using the scanner driver.

BASIC SCANNER OPERATIONS

ATTENTION

For Breakage prevention, the document cover may come off if you open the
document cover too much.
If it comes off, pull out the hinge pins from the scanner once, set them to the
document cover shaft, then install the document cover to the scanner.

2. Load the document on the document bed with the scanning face down and the top left
corner aligned to the reference point.

3. Gently close the document cover.

4. Start up the scanner application, and scan the document.

For details on how to scan documents see "1.3 How to Use the Scanner Driver" (page 5).

ATTENTION

• You can pull out the document cover from the scanner when you scan

the thick document like a book.
In such a case, press down the document from the top, let it stick to the
document bed firmly.

<Attention>

Be careful of the following points:
The scanned image will become blurred if the document loses touch
with the document bed by curl, crease, etc. .
Because of opening the document cover, the light from an indoor
fluorescent light may penetrate the document, and may affect the
brightness of image data. (The thinner document is, the more it is

influenced.)
In such a case, scan the document with closing the document cover.

• Do not disconnect the USB cable or AC adapter from the scanner

when the scanning operation is ongoing.

1.5 Excluding a Color in the Image (dropout color)

A selected color (primary colors: red, green or blue) can be removed (dropped out) from the
scanned image data. For example, if the document contains black text in a green frame, you can set
the scanner to read only the text and eliminate (drop out) the green frame. To set the scanner to drop
out a color, change the settings in the [TWAIN Driver] dialogbox before scanning.

1. Click the [Advance...] button in the [TWAIN Driver] dialog box.

⇒ The [Advance] dialog box appears.

2. Select the color to be drop out from [Dropout Color] under [More].

For example, if the document contains black text in green frame, select [Green] so that the
scanner only reads the text and eliminates the frames. If you do not wish to have any colors
dropped out select "None".

20

3. Click the [OK] button.

The [TWAIN Driver] dialog box will be redisplayed. Continue scanning from this dialog
box.
