Section 1 - Overview & Hardware Installation

Thank you for purchasing a Minolta TWAIN-supported Microform or Publication Scanner. This version of the
Minolta TWAIN driver supports the following Minolta scanners:

• MS 3000 Microform Scanner

• MS 7000 Microform Scanner

• MS 2000 Microform Scanner

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

• PS 3000 Publication Scanner

• MS 6000 Microform Scanner

• PS 7000 Publication Scanner

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.

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 PC­upgrade 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.

The TWAIN Driver User Interfaces

When developing the TWAIN drivers for Minolta’s scanners we tried to keep a consistent l
and feel across all models. Since each scanner has unique functions and features the drivers do
vary from model to model. In the following sections we walk through the MS 6000 and MS

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.

long as the driver is currently launched). While the scanner is busy executing a scan the front
panel LED display will show a flashing “PC” and the front panel will be locked. When the
display stops flashing, the scanner’s control panel is once again active.

Scan Settings

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

Resolution (DPI) – This drop-down box allows you to select the resolution at which the
scanner will deliver data to the scann
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

ing software. The resolution is measured in dots

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 scan area selected will be reflected in the Preview Window through the use of a
dashed box. If desired, you can also select the custom setting and define any
scan area within the 12” x 12” window. Pre-configured paper sizes cannot be
via the front panel of the MS 6000; however, the optional Manual Masking Kit
provides functionality for defining a custom scan area. (See the Preview Window

section for more information).

Image Type – This drop-down box lets you define the bit-depth of the image. If the

optional grayscale kit is not installed, you will only have the option of selecting
Black/White. If the optional grayscale kit is installed then you have the following two

es:

choic

Black/White – This will cause all
images delivered to the PC to have a
depth of 1-bit. As a result all pixels
will be either black or white. The
scanner will threshold the image and
perform a dithering algorithm
(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.

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

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
to perform batch scanning with the MS
7000 make sure to:

1) Have Document/Scan
selected in the Ariel software
scanning window.

2) Click the More button in the

Ariel scanning window and then
make sure to have batch
scanning selected in the Minolta
TWAIN driver.

Film Type – Use this drop-down box to define the polarity of the film to be scanned.
Selecting positive will cause all images to be displayed as viewed on the front panel of the
MS 6000. Selecting negative will cause each pixel to be converted to its converse shade

.e. black to white, light gray to dark gray, etc.). Selecting auto will cause the scanner to (i
compare light areas to dark areas and make an intelligent guess based on image
composition as to which polarity film is loaded. Using the Film Type button on the front
panel of the MS 6000 can also change this setting.

Image Filter – offers advanced algorithms for processing scanned images. Depending on
the image type selected the image filter has the following options.

None – An 8 bit grayscale image to be delivered as scanned. Black and white images
will lighten the final image through a wider dithering process; lighting is visually less than
the smooth mode.

Sharpen – An 8-bit grayscale image, a strong sharpen algorithm for black and white
images will apply a straight threshold and standard dither.

Sharpen more – Only 8 bit grayscale images. The image goes through a sharpening
process that is slightly less pronounced than as sharpen

Brightness & Contrast Controls

This set of controls allows users to change the composition of the scanned image as detailed
below. Please note that when using the slider bars you may notice some slight lag or resistance

-- this is normal and is due to the bi-directional communication between the driver and
scanner.

Automatic Brightness – Check this box if you wish to have the scanner perform a prescan
and apply an appropriate brightness setting based on the detected original. Automatic
brightness will assume an original of normal exposure.

setting between 0 and 90.

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.

The Action Buttons

The Action buttons allow you to interact with the Driver User Interface to accomplish
important tasks or launch support windows. Here is a detailed description of what these
butt ns o do:

Scan – Clicking the Scan button will cause the MS 6000 to initiate a scan using the
currently selected configuration. Scans can also be initiated by pressing the Start button on
the MS 6000’s front pa

nel. When operating the MS 6000 in Batch Scan Mode (see below)

this button will be disabled and all scans must be initialized via the front panel.

Preview – Clicking the Preview button will
cause the MS 6000 t a low-re

o perform solution
scan that will be displayed in the preview
window. This scanned data is not transferred to
the application. The preview function is very
useful for confirming scan settings and for
defining custom scans. To use previewing to
define a custom area, first click the Preview

utton; once an image has been plac

b

ed in the
preview window just drag and drop or resize
the dashed lines to match the given portion of
the preview image you wish to capture. In the
example to th

been set to capture just the top article of the
page.

Cancel – Use the Cancel button to close out the driver window without initiating any scans.

Help – Clicking the Help button will launch the TWAIN driver help

file. This file contains
detailed information on working with the driver. Much of the information contained in this
guide can be found within the Help file.

About – Clicking this button will launch the About Dialog Box. This box contains
important information including the current driver version number. This is the most
reliable means for determining which version of the driver you are running.
