SCANNING SLIDES AND FILM NEGATIVES
The Transparency Adapter is an accessory included with your
scanner. It gives you the ability to scan 35mm slides and film
negatives on your flatbed scanner. We recommend the use of
this accessory to scan slides for on-screen display purposes
or where high resolution is not critical.
 Please note: Scanning of colour transparencies may
vary, depending on the quality of your film original.
CONNECTING THE TRANSPARENCY ADAPTER
Française English Nederlands Dansk Español Deutsch
1. Switch off the scanner and unpack the Transparency
Adapter.
2. Remove the scanner lid and connect the Transparency
Adapter to your scanner. To do this: Connect the 15-pin
connector (A in diagram) of your Transparency
Adapter to the accessory port (B) at the back panel of
your scanner.

Turn the Transparency Adapter over. Insert the 35mm slide
front side up into the recessed area at the center of the
Transparency Adapter. Secure the slide by gripping it with
the grip prong provided at the connector side of the recessed
area. For added stability, you may wish to secure the slide
with a piece of adhesive tape.
Mounting film negatives:
1. Turn the Transparency Adapter over. Insert the 35mm
film negative front side up along the recessed area, with
one perforated side of the film negative tucked under the
mylar sheets. For added stability, secure the other perforated side of the film negative with a piece of adhesive
tape.

OPTICAL CHARACTER RECOGNITION (OCR) SOFTWARE
If you want to read in text which is to be subsequently edited
with a word processing program, you require an OCR program. This program reads in a document and attempts to recognise all of the letters, special characters and numbers present in the text. In order to achieve the highest possible recognition rate, the program uses the newest OCR technologies
as well as intelligent error correction.
The recognition rate depends on:
Original
Fonts
Scanning

High print qual-
ity, high contrast,

FIRST AID FOR MALFUNCTIONS
TROUBLESHOOTING
In most cases, scanner problems have simple causes. We
would like to give you some tips to solve the most common
problems. Should these tips not help you solve your problems,
please call us.
BASIC INSTRUCTIONS
¾ Regularly running the Windows® program “Defrag-
mentation” and “Scan disc” can eliminate errors and
increase the operating system’s performance.
CHECK CONNECTIONS AND CABLES
Start by carefully checking all cable connections visually. If
the indicator lights do not function properly, ensure that the
computer and all peripheral equipment is properly connected
to the power supply.
¾ Switch off the computer and check all cable connec-
tions. If the computer is connected to any peripherals,
check the plug connections on all cables.
Do not mix the cables for the various pieces of equipment. Though they may appear identical, the pin assignments in the connectors may differ from product to
product.
Once you have ensured the power supply to the
equipment is in working order and all connections are
intact, switch the computer back on.

ERRORS AND POSSIBLE CAUSES
Flat bed scanner is not recognized:
¾ Have you connected the cable provided, according to the
installation instructions? Please check all cable connections.
¾ Did you restart the computer after installing the
software from the supplied CDROM?
¾ Is it possible that an active scanning operation has
not been completed? Check whether any programs
that have access to the scanner are open.
If applicable, close any scanner applications not required at the moment (e.g. OCR) to continue the desired operation.
The scanned images require too much memory.
¾ The resolution selected is too high. If you require the
scanned material for printout. A lower resolution is
usually sufficient which decreases the size of the file.
¾ The file was stored in an uncompressed format (e.g.:
BMP). File formats such as JPG can store images without noticeable loss of details and require only a fraction of the original storage space.
Française English Nederlands Dansk Español Deutsch
Optical character recognition does not function properly or
not at all.
¾ Is the original document of good enough quality?
It is not possible to recognise some poor quality
faxes, hand writing or abstract fonts. Fonts used in
newspapers should be OK.
¾ Wrong resolution set.
¾ Microsoft Word may output an error message during
macro-update (installation).
This error can be ignored.
S
S
EERRVVIICCE
E
23
The material scanned in cannot be processed by the applica-
tion program....
¾ The application program used must support the for-
mat you selected for the file.
For example if a scanned document is a form, it is
usually a mixture of both text and graphics.
In order to process such a file, it is usually necessary
for file to be incorporated as graphics with the property "behind the text".
¾ Under certain circumstances an error message may be
displayed in certain word processing programs. However, optical character recognition still functions.

ignoring the safety and maintenance regulations, changes by software, viruses or another piece of equipment or accessory or by other modifications
not approved by the manufacturer. This limited guarantee declaration replaces all other guarantees of express or implied nature. This includes the
guarantee of saleability or the suitability for a certain purpose but is not
limited to this. In some countries the exclusion of implied guarantees is not
permissible upon principle. In this case the validity of all express and implied
guarantees is limited to the guarantee period. Once this period has expired,
all guarantees become invalid. In some countries limiting the period of validity for implied guarantees is not permitted, so that the above limitation does
not come into force. If you have any questions with regard to these guarantee conditions, please contact us.
