Safety Precautions
Before using your digitizer, read the following safety guides carefully, which detail
the proper operation of the digitizer and its accessories to prevent injuries or
damage to users or equipment.
Meanings of Symbol Signs

CAUTION
attention, could result injury or damage to users or
equipment.
WARNING
Power Supply:
• Use a power source only with a power rating specified on the marking label.
• Ensure to turn off the power of each device before connecting or
disconnecting the cables.
• Insert the plug completely into the outlet, as a loose connection may cause
arcing and result in fire.
• Ensure to hold the plug or connector to disconnect the cable; otherwise, if
you pull the cable only, it may damage the core wire and result in fire or
electric shock.
• Place and route the power supply cord such that it is not likely to be walked
on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular
attention to the cord near the power plugs, convenience receptacles, and at
the point where it exits from the outlet.
• When the digitizer is left unattended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet.
Moving and Storing the Film Digitizer:
This indicates hazardous situation which, if not payed
attention, could result serious injury or death to users.
• Always ensure that the digitizer is stored properly before shipping or moving
it. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the product
to overturn when moving.
• Do not hit or drop the digitizer. The digitizer may be damaged if it receives a
strong jolt, which may result in fire or electric shock if the digitizer is used
without being repaired.
• Do not place the digitizer on any slippery, slanted, or unstable surface. The
product may slide or fall, causing serious injury to people as well as serious
damage to the product.
Medi-6000 User's Manual 7
• Do not use the digitizer near water. Never spill liquid of any kinds on the
product, or it may result in electric shock or other hazards.
• This digitizer should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators,
heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce
heat.
• Do not store the digitizer in which it may be exposed to direct sunlight.
Using the Digitizer
• Before using the digitizer, make sure the area of the front cover is clear from
any objects that may cause jams inside.
• When using the digitizer, if your hairs have been jammed into the front cover
of the digitizer, turn off the power switch immediately. Do not attend to
remove your hairs from the front cover when the digitizer is still turned on.
Maintenance and Service:
• When the digitizer is going to be cleaned, ensure to turn off the power of each
device and unplug the power cable from the AC outlet.
• When you need a repair service, unplug the digitizer from the power outlet
and consult qualified service personnel.
• When replacement parts are required, use replacement parts that are specified
by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original parts.
• For safety reasons, ensure to inspect the device before using it. In addition,

Knowing about Your Film Digitizer
The Medi-6000 is a transparency film digitizer and paper CCD scanner that can
easily transfer radiographs, x-ray films or paper reports into a digital format. The
digitized images are intended for the use in primary, secondary and over reading
applications. This device is not to be used for primary image diagnosis in
mammography. Also, it is specifically designed for the trained medical
professionals or staff. The Medi-6000 can capture details in bright and dark areas
of x-ray films and provide the medical professionals a convenient method to
digitize the roentgenogram for the electric data storage.
Features of the Medi-6000
The Medi-6000 comes with several important features, including the following:
• Premium Image Quality — With a high optical resolution of 600 dpi, a
dynamic range of 4.0 Dmax, and the 16-bit grayscale, the Medi-6000 allows
users to get better image details in just seconds.
• Space-saving design — Less than 20 pounds, the Medi-6000 is much lighter
than other film digitizers that weigh 50-200 pounds. This light weight,
combined with its compact size — less than that of a one-panel light box,
makes the wall-mountable Medi-6000 ideal for small sized offices and
hospitals.
• Various sizes of x-ray films — The Medi-6000 covers various sizes of sheets
or x-ray films from 2.5" x 2.5" to 14" x 35", which offers more flexibility to
digitize old records or x-ray films.
• Microtek ScanWizard Medi software — The friendly user interface of
ScanWizard Medi stores x-ray pictures in a computer readable format, offering
an easy and quick access and management.
• Hi-Speed USB (USB 2.0) port — Hi-Speed USB (USB 2.0) is capable of high
data transfer rates of up to 480 Mbit/sec.
• Easy to operate, clean and maintain — The Medi-6000 requires virtually no
routine maintenance and no daily cleaning, which is ideal for busy radiology
departments.
Medi-6000 User's Manual 13
System Requirements
In order to use your Medi-6000, your computer must satisfy the following system
requirements:
• CD-ROM drive (for installing software)
• Color display with 24-bit color output capability
• 512 MB RAM or above
• Pentium IV PC or higher with Hi-Speed USB (USB 2.0) port
• Microsoft Windows 2000, XP or Vista

Unpacking Your Film Digitizer
Looking for Damage
While unpacking your digitizer, inspect the shipping carton for any signs of
mishandling or damage. The digitizer’s packing carton and padding material have
been carefully chosen to prevent damage to the unit in shipping and can withstand
a reasonable amount of pressure.

received all of the parts necessary for digitizer setup. If there are any damaged or
missing parts, notify the shipper immediately or contact customer service.
NOTE: Save the carton and all packing materials. If you need to ship the digitizer
later, it is recommended that you should repack it using the original wire ties,
plastic bags, foam supports and cartons, which protects your digitizer from
unnecessary damage. Refer to the later section “How to Repack Your Film Digitizer
for Shipping” for the detail.

Care and Cleaning
To ensure optimal performance from the Medi-6000, it is important to clean
several critical parts of the digitizer on a regular basis.
Cleaning the Glass Surface
1. Push down two Release buttons at both sides of the front cover of the
digitizer and open the front cover.
When opening the front cover, support the both sides of the front cover with
your hands, avoiding suddenly falling down of the front cover.
2. Using a soft and non-abrasive, lint-free cloth, clean the inner glass surface on
the digitizer.
34 Medi-6000 User's Manual
Cleaning the Diffuser
The diffuser is used when you scan a X-ray film or transparent material. The
cleanness of the diffuser decides whether your digitizer may deal with the right
lightness of scanned transparent materials.
To clean the diffuser:
1. Push down two buttons at both sides of the front cover of the digitizer and
open the front cover.
When opening the front cover, support the both sides of the front cover with
your hands, avoiding suddenly falling down of the front cover.
2. Use the same kind of cloth for cleaning the digitizer glass surface to clean the
white diffuser located at the middle of the front cover.
Cleaning the Rollers
Prolonged used of the digitizer may result in accumulation of ink and other residue
on the feeder’s rollers, affecting their efficiency. Clean the rollers periodically to
maintain performance.
Rollers are found in two areas of the Medi-6000: Directly on the digitizer, and on

Maintenance
After usage for a period of time, the parts inside your digitizer, such as rollers or
light source, may become worn out, and a problem such as insufficient light
supply may occur. In this cases, contact your local dealers or wholesales for the
maintenance services.
Note: Your digitizer need a professional to perform the required service or
maintenance. Do not attend to fix or perform the maintenance by yourself, or it
may cause dangers to you or the digitizer.
