This TWAIN driver and Overlay Manager Software may be freely copied and distributed for

use with Minolta Scanners sold in the United States of America or Canada. JFL Peripheral

Solutions Inc. of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada developed the TWAIN driver. For information

regarding distribution outside of the United States of America or Canada, please contact them

Hardware Installation

The Minolta scanners utilize industry standard 50-pin, male SCSI-1 (MS 3000, MS 2000, and

PS 3000) and SCSI-2 (MS 6000 and MS 7000) connectors. The PS 7000 uses a proprietary

cable sold only through Konica Minolta Business Solutions and is a 5-pin Mini Centronics on

the scanner end and a 50-pin HD SCSI-2 on the PC side. You will need to supply a standard

SCSI interface card for the PC as well as a SCSI cable. We have tested a wide range of SCSI

boards and have found that nearly all Adaptec or Adaptec-compatible boards will run fine. We

also recommend installing the latest version of Adaptec’s ASPI drivers.

If you have any connection errors please check for system conflicts first. If you are still unable

to resolve any hardware conflicts or cannot get your scanner to be recognized please contact

your local Minolta dealer. When calling for technical support please make sure to have the

driver version numbers and your system configuration information available.

A Note about Integrating Konica Minolta Business Solutions Scanners

For those customers who wish to directly integrate one of the TWAIN supported Minolta

scanner listed above with their own software, we recommend contacting JFL Peripheral

Solutions, Inc. to obtain their ObjectTWAIN

developer’s toolkit. This toolkit has all the

necessary tools to fully integrate our supported scanners.

Note: All sample scanned images in this guide are actual microfilm

scans and were enlarged by 200-250% to show detail at the pixel

level. They do not represent 1-to-1 resolutions.

nch the Minsetup.exe file.

After agreeing to the software license and selecting the desired install directories, you will be

asked to choose which of the two components you would like to install.

TWAIN Data Source: Install the TWAIN data source when using the MS 2000, MS 3000,

PS 3000, PS 7000, MS 6000 or MS 7000 as PC-connected scanners. Please note that in

order to use the TWAIN data sources with the MS 6000 you need to have the optional PC-

upgrade kit installed. The PS 7000 requires you to purchase the PC Interface Kit. The

TWAIN data sources utilize Version 1.9 of the TWAIN specification and incorporate all

the scanning features of the supported scanners.

When installing the TWAIN Data source the installation procedure will automatically

launch the KMBS TWAIN configuration

utility.

This utility will scan your SCSI buses and

automatically detect any of the supported

Minolta scanners attached to your system. It

will then install the needed drivers (data

sources) associated with those scanners. Once

the configuration utility has completed its scan

and installs, it will launch a status window

showing all the connected Minolta hardware

and all installed drivers/data sources (see Section 5 for more details).

Make any necessary settings in the Status Window and close it out. You are now ready to

begin scanning. Since software packages vary, please check your application software for

instructions on how to acquire a scanned image using a TWAIN driver.

A new feature of the updated driver is allowing you to choose to not install the software

memory manager. Although this is still required for non Enhanced SCSI, it can be skipped

on current models thereby preventing possible memory conflicts and admin-right issues.

Overlay Manager: Install the Overlay Manager when using the MS 6000 or MS 7000 in

combination with the MSP 3000 laser printer. The Overlay software allows you to create and

add a bitmap to any prints made from the MSP 3000 laser printer and the MS 6000 or 7000. In

order to utilize overlays with the MS 6000 or MS 7000 scanner you must ensure that the

latest version of firmware (25G003 or higher) is installed in your scanner. If you are

unsure of your firmware version or need to upgrade please contact your authorized Minolta

dealer.

Section 3 - The MS 6000 TWAIN Driver User’s Guide

The MS 6000 is KMBS’ low-to-mid volume Microform scanner. It is very similar to its

predecessor, the MS 2000, however it offers many new features. In order to scan-to-file with

e MS 6000 the user must ensure that the optional PC interface kit is installed and the th

front panel of the MS 6000 is set to operate in PC mode. The scanner can be configured for

PC mode by pressing the clear/Shift key and the multiple print/PC keys at the same time.

These two keys are adjacent to each other and are located just above the Start button on the

front panel.

When in PC mode the scanner will display a capital “P” and a low

TWAIN driver is launched the small “c” on the scanner’s LED will change to a capital “C” to

indicate that proper communication exists between the scanner and driver.

Scan Settings

The Scan Settings section allows you to define three key elements of the scanner’s settings.

They are:

per inch or DPI. Available settings for the MS 6000 are 200, 300, 400, 600 and 800

DPI. Higher DPI settings will result in better quality scans but will result in longer

scanning and data transfer times as well as larger file sizes. If using the front panel of

the MS 6000, the resolution can be selected by pressing the Clear/Shift key and the

Print Mode/Resolution keys at the same time. Each subsequent press will cycle the

resolution setting between 8H, 6H, 4H, 3H and 2H.

Note: The optical resolution of the scanner is 400 DPI. All other

resolutions are derived from on-board interpolation or reduction

algorithms.

Paper Size – This drop-down box allows you to select the actual Scan Area captured by

the MS 6000.

The driver supports a wide range of standard U.S. and European sizes.

(see the Halftone setting for more information on setting dithers and halftones).

Grayscale – This setting will cause

all images to be delivered to the PC

to have a bit-depth of 8. This will

result in images with 256 possible

shades of gray.

Note: In order to utilize grayscale with the MS 6000 it will be

necessary to purchase and install the optional grayscale kit.

Batch Scan Mode

The Batch Scan Mode might arguably be the most useful feature of

the Minolta TWAIN driver. With most application software, the TWAIN driver UI is launched

when an Import or Scan command is given. Typically the driver will then close after a scan is

completed. When the Batch Scan Mode selection box is checked it will cause the driver to

remain open and will place a Done button in the File Transfer Status Window.

While the File Transfer Status Window is displayed you can continue to initiate scans and

make setting changes from the front panel of the MS 6000. Each scan will be delivered to the

application and stored in the computer’s available memory. While performing a batch scan,

you may not be able to view completed scanned images – this is normal. When the Done

button is pressed, the Status Window and Driver UI will close and all image data will be

displayed in the scanning application.

Note: Images scanned via the Batch Scanning Mode are not permanently stored but rather kept

in temporary memory by the application software. Therefore the number of scans that can be

stored will be dependent on image file sizes, the application itself as well as available system

memory.

Batch Scanning in Ariel 3.0

Ariel 3.0 adds support for TWAIN scanning. Because Ariel is designed for Automatic

Document Feeders (ADFs) batch scanning with the Minolta Scanners can be tricky. In order

In grayscale a lower brightness setting will result in each pixel being given a value closer

to white while a higher setting will cause each pixel to be given a value closer to black.

When scanning with Image Type set for black and white, a low brightness setting will

cause the thresholding process to result in more pixels being set to white while a higher

brightness will result in more pixels being set to black. Please note that all Brightness and

Contrast controls are applied prior to any Halftone or Photo settings. Brightness settings

can be adjusted using the front panel Auto, Darker and Lighter buttons.

Contrast – The contrast settings extend from 0 to 14. Changing these settings will cause

the scanned image to either increase or decrease the range between dark and light areas. A

low contrast setting will result in each pixel being set to a value closer to the median (gray)

while a high contrast setting will result in each pixel being set to a value closer to its

absolute. In other words, light pixels get lighter and dark pixels get darker. A high contrast

can be desirable when trying to enhance dark objects on a less-than-white background or

when trying to enhance textual data in a grayscale image. Contrast cannot be adjusted from

the front panel.
