Note:
About photos
Pay attention to the following with regard to the photos to be scanned:
The photgraphic paper must not be thicker than 1.5 mm.
The image must not be wider than 105 mm.
The image must be at least 42 mm long and must not be longer than 300 mm.
Photos with a large proportion of black or a wide black edge are unsuitable for "Automatic
image trimming", see page 13 for further information.
Do not attempt to scan newspaper or magazine images. Do not use any thin or soft paper.
Do not use any foil, film strips or similar.
Do not scan high gloss photos in an environment of more than 70% atmospheric moisture.
The surface could adhere and cause a paper blockage.
12
g
Photographic protective foil
Photos may be damaged by minute dust and dirt particles (fine traces of
scratching appear) during the scanning process. This is particularly
possible in the case of high gloss photos. For this reason we recommend
that you scan all photos in the protective foil supplied with this appliance.
Automatic image trimming
The scanner needs a narrow edge to establish the image data. This edge may be trimmed off
during scanning in the following way:
Please take account of this: the darker the image, particularly at the edge, the more will
be trimmed off.
Scanning direction

Scanned ima
e
Colour correction (brightness and colour tone)
The colour will be corrected automatically during scanning. The brightness and colour tone can
differ from the original to some extent.
The result of this colour correction can also depend on the direction in which the image has
been scanned. Different results are not an error by the appliance.
Attempt to scan the image in a different direction if the edge has been trimmed off to wide.
14
About memory cards

FAT32 formats are supported, not NTFS or a different format.

Of course, you do not now need to insert a memory card.
Work further directly with the photo, if appropriate
The photo will have been stored in the selected storage location after it has been scanned.
The scan will appear in the screen in a new window. The computer will access the selected
storage location at the same time as:
The PC, if “Scan to PC” has been selected.
The memory card, if Memory Card has been selected.
20
Switching off
Switch the appliance off with the operating button.
Now you will be able to remove the mains adapter cable and the memory card. Do not
remove the mains adapter cable and the memory card during operation.
The appliance will switch off automatically if it has not been used for 15 minutes.
Transfer scans to the computer
You will be able to transfer the scanned photos (the content of the memory cards) directly to
the computer.
System requirements
Operating system:Windows XP, Vista®, Windows7®
USB connection: 1.1 or 2.0
21
Data transfer
Proceed as follows:
Connect the mini-USB connector of the USB cable supplied with the
appliance to the USB connection.
Switch the computer on and connect the other end of the USB cable
to the USB connection of the computer.
Insert a memory card.
The memory card will be recognized by the computer in the
following priority, if several memory cards have been inserted: SD
(MMC) > CF > MS
22
Press the operating button.
The computer will now recognize the scanner as “new
hardware”;.
A new directory will be created in Explorer for the photos on
the memory card in the scanner.
You will now be able to access the *.jpg files like all other files.
23
Memory system
The scanner will create a directory called "MEDION01" on the level
under the memory card at the first use.
The directory can contain up to 9999 images. The images will be
named as "MED+recurring four-digit number".
The new images will be stored in the most recent directory during a
new scanning process, until it is full.
A new directory MEDION02 will be created at the 1000th image,
MEDION03 at the 2000th image, etc. Up to 10 directories can be
created.
24
Cleaning, maintenance, storage
The casing, the image sensor and the rollers must be cleaned regularly (approx. after every 30th
scanning process), to retain the image quality. Also carry out cleaning and/or calibration if lines
appear on the scanned image.
A cleaning set, consisting of a roller cleaning sheet, a sensor wiper and a calibration card, is
supplied with the appliance for cleaning purposes.
Use the accessories supplied with the device exclusively to clean the inner parts of the
device! Any other agent can damage the scanner irreperably.
Cleaning the casing
1. Detach the appliance from the electricity supply.
2. Remove dust from the casing.
3. Wipe the casing down with a slightly damp, soft cloth.
4. Dry the casing with a dry, fluff-free cloth.
Do not use any sharp cleaning substance or solvent (e. g. alcohol). The plastic could be
damaged by it.
25
Cleaning the roller
1. First, clean the casing as described above.
2. Make sure that the roller cleaning sheet is free of dust and dirt and clean it, if necessary.
3. Then connect the mains adapter.
4. Hold the on switch down for approx 5 seconds, while the device
is switched off, until the displays light up.
5. Guide the roller cleaning sheet into the intake slit with the
sponge facing upwards. The sheet will be taken in and the
cleaning process will start.
Both the LEDs will flash during the cleaning process. Do not
interrupt it!
6. The roller cleaning sheet will be ejected at the end of the
cleaning process.
26
Cleaning the image sensor
1. First, clean the casing as described above.
2. Make sure that the sensor wiper is free of dust and dirt and clean it, if necessary.
3. Switch the device off, if necessary, and pull the mains adapter
off.
4. Push the sensor wiper into the output slot on the left at the
back of the device.
5. Move with the sensor wiper from one end of the output slit to
the other two or three times.
6. Pull the sensor wiper out again at the left side of the output
slit.
27
Calibrating the scanner
The scanner should be calibrated occasionally. You should calibrate it if the output image
appears distorted or if lines appear, or if you have not used the appliance for a long time.
1. First, clean the casing of the appliance as described above.
2. Clean the roller and the image sensor as described in the previous sections.
3. Prepare the scanner as if you wanted to scan an image; connect the mains adapter, insert
a memory card and switch on the scanner.
4. Place the calibration card into the intake slit in the direction
shown, like a photo.
The card will be taken in, scanned and ejected. The scanner
will have been recalibrated as a result.
The card must be inserted in the direction shown. The
calibration will not function otherwise.
28
Storage
Keep the appliance and the cleaning set (roller cleaning sheet, sensor wiper, calibration card) in
its packaging in a cool, dry, dust-free location.
29
In the case of faults
Problem Explanation / suggestion for eliminating the fault
The scanned images show
lines or stripes, or are less
clear than the original.
Paper blockage. The
original is stuck firmly in
the intake.
The photo is not being
scanned and the status
display is flashing quickly.
Scan the image with photographic protective foil.
Make sure that the original is free of dust.
Carry out a roller cleaning, a sensor cleaning and a calibration.
Press the operating button so that the paper is carried further.
Do not pull on the original.
Insert a memory card. Check that the card is not locked (write
protected) or full (has less than 1 MB free memory) and
whether it corresponds to the FAT16 or FAT32 format.
Do not guide the originals in too fast after each other. The
storage process must have finished before the next image can
be scanned.
Switch the appliance off and on once again.
30
The scanner has become
hot.
The transfer to a digital
picture frame does not
function.
It is normal that the appliance heats up (approx. 30 - 45 °C) in
the case of longer use. Switch the scanner off, detach it from
the electricity network and let it cool down, if it does, however,
become even warmer or if it is emitting a smell.
If the image is distorted: the original will be adjusted to the
format of the picture frame automatically.
The transfer does not happen: it is possible that some digital
picture frames found on the market are not compatible with
the scanner.
