Installation
Windows
The InstallShield Wizard indicates if the installation
was successful. Select the restart-computer option
and then click the finish button. When the computer restarts, the scanner driver software is ready for
use. Print out a copy of the Read Me file for reference.
The name of the default program folder is displayed. To install the software in this folder, click
the next button.
To install the software to another existing folder,
select one of the folders listed in the existing-folders box below. Click the next button to begin
installation.
Select the components to be installed, then click
the next button. Normally, the TWAIN data source
should be installed. The descriptions in this manual
assume the utility was installed with the TWAIN
data source.
The TWAIN driver allows the scanner software to
be launched directly from most image-processing
applications with an import option as well as allowing the computer and scanner to communicate.
To install the software in the default folder
(E:\Program Files\DS_Elite5400_2), click Next.
To install the software in another folder, click the
browse button to display the folder selection window. Specify the directory in which to install the
software, then click OK.
The opening screen of the InstallShield Wizard
appears. Click the next button to continue.

Elite 5400 II setup screen opens.
Click the “Starting up the DiMAGE Scan Elite 5400
II installer” button to start up the Install Shield
Wizard.
Click the yes button to accept the agreement and
continue. Read the entire agreement carefully
before continuing. If you do not agree to the terms
of the license agreement, click the no button to
exit the setup program.
Turn on the computer to start up the Windows operating system. Windows XP and 2000 users
should logon as an administrator. In the example below, the hard disk is drive E. The letters designating the drives vary between computers.
If the Install Shield Wizard does not start up automatically, initiate the
run routine on the start menu. Click the browse button in the run dialog box and select the CD-ROM drive from the look-in box in the
browse window. Open the driver folder and then the English folder.
Click on the Setup.exe file to display it in the run dialog box. Click

After the computer restarts, confirm the selected
DiMAGE Scan applications are installed in the designated location. Print out a copy of the Read Me
file for reference.
If the DS Elite5400 2 plug-in was installed, simply
move or copy the plug-in file into an image-processing application’s import folder. This allows the
DiMAGE Scan Elite 5400 II Utility to be launched
directly from that application.
Scanner Notes
With Mac OS X, the DiMAGE Scan windows may appear behind the palettes and tool bars of
an image-processing application such as Adobe Photoshop 7.0, Photoshop CS, or
Photoshop Elements 2.0 when opened though the application. Press the command key and
drag on the lower right corner of the DiMAGE Scan window to move it. The tab key can be

Scanner setup
Connect the output plug of the AC adapter to the scanner’s DC terminal (2). Plug the AC adapter
into a standard household outlet.
Securely plug the A connector of the USB cable into the scanner’s USB port (1) and the B connector into the computer’s USB port. The scanner should be connected directly to the computer.
Attaching the scanner to a USB hub may prevent proper operation.
Before connecting the scanner to a computer, the DiMAGE Scan Utility must first be
installed. See pages 9 through 14 for the installation procedure.
The scanner should be placed on a level surface free from vibrations. It should be located away from direct sunlight and in a clean, dry, well-ventilated area. Never connect the
scanner cable while data is being transferred between the computer and peripheral
devices.
Before connecting the scanner
Connecting the scanner
Turn on the scanner with the power switch. Start up the computer.
Turning on the scanner
When the scanner is initially connected to a computer with a Windows XP operating system, the
found-new-hardware wizard appears. Use the
automatic installation option. Click the next button.
Quit the DiMAGE Scan Utility. Confirm that the scanner indicator lamp is not
blinking. Turn the scanner off and then disconnect the cable.
Never disconnect the scanner when the indicator lamp is
blinking.

lamp glows steadily, the scanner can be used.
When the scanner is initially connected to a computer with a Windows 98, 98SE, or 2000
Professional operating system, the found-new-hardware wizard appears briefly. No action is
required. With Windows 2000, the “Digital Signature Not Found…” message may appear. Click
the yes button to complete the scanner installation.
The “not passed Windows Logo testing” message
appears. Click the continue-anyway button to
complete the scanner installation.

Loading film holders
Handling film
Where is the emulsion?
To achieve the best possible reproduction from the scanner, the film and film holder should be
free from dust and dirt. Always work with processed film in a clean, dust-free environment.
Handle film by the edges or mount to prevent fingerprints and dirt marring the image area.
Special lint-free gloves are available from photographic equipment retailers for film handling as
well as anti-static cloths, brushes, and blowers for removing dust. Film cleaner can be used to
remove oil, grease, or dirt from film; carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions and precautions for the film cleaning solvent.
When film placing film in a holder, the emulsion side of the film should be down. When viewing
the film image, if the image is orientated correctly rather than a mirror image, the emulsion side
is facing down. If the image is abstract or symmetrical so its orientation is difficult to determine,
the emulsion is down if the frame numbers and edge markings can be read correctly. With
mounted slides, the emulsion is on the same side of the mount as the film manufacturer's or
processor’s name is printed.
Film strips of up to six frames can be
loaded into the 35mm film holder. To open
the holder, lift the latch and swing open the
cover.
With the emulsion down, place the film in
the holder and under the retaining tabs.
Align the film with the frame apertures.
Carefully lower the cover until the latch
clicks into place. Take care not to move the
film during this operation.
Loading 35mm film strips
Loading film holders
Carefully push the holder into the scanner until the insertion mark
is aligned with the scanner door; the holder is automatically fed
into the scanner from that point and an index scan begins. Never
touch or hinder the holder when it is in the scanner.
Loading and ejecting a film holder
Before using the scanner, install the DiMAGE Scan Utility. Launch one of the DiMAGE Scan Utility
drivers before inserting the film holder. Do not insert the film holder into the scanner while the
utility software is launching or the scanner is initializing; the indicator lamp blinks during this period.
When the indicator lamp glows steadily, insert
the film holder into the scanner in the direction indicated by the arrow. Hold the holder
straight and level with the orientation indicator
up.
Loading mounted slides
Up to four mounted slides can be inserted into the slide mount holder. The slide mounts must be
between 1 mm and 3,2 mm thick to fit the holder. Glass mounts cannot be used; the glass
refracts the light resulting in distorted and unevenly illuminated scans.
Place the slides in the holder emulsion side
down. The slide must be parallel with the
length of the holder otherwise the top and
bottom of the image area will be cropped.
Carefully lower the cover until both latches
click into place.
To open the holder, lift both latches and
swing open the cover.
When the slide mount holder is in the scanner, the last slide can be
removed and a new slide inserted without ejecting the holder. When
replacing slide, take care not to change the holder position. If the slide
is not accessible, press the eject button once to move the slide holder
to the correct position; pressing the eject button twice ejects the holder.
A prescan should be made each time a slide is inserted; see page 29.
Emulsion
side
Click the eject button in the DiMAGE Scan Utility window or press
the eject button on the scanner to remove the holder; the scanner
automatically ejects the holder to its initial insertion position.
When using the slide holder, the eject button may have to be
pressed twice. If the scanner is turned off before the holder is
ejected, turn on the scanner; the holder is ejected automatically.
