2.1 Power Supply Precautions
In order to use the ScanTouch 210 safely and correctly, and to prevent
problems, pay careful attention to the following points:
• Be sure to use an AC100V-120V/AC 200V - 240V, 50/60Hz power
supply. The power cord should be changed according to the power
voltage.
When using a power voltage of more than AC 125V
Use a suitable power cord compliant with the safety standards of the
country in which it is used, with a plug of AC 250V, 15A rating
(NEMA 6P-15), and insulation of at least SVT type and more than
AWG18 in thickness.
When using a power voltage of AC 125V or less
Use a suitable power cord compliant with the safety standards of the
country in which it is used, with a plug of AC 125V, 10A rating and
insulation of at least SVT type and more than AWG18 in thickness.
• Be sure that the electrical outlet of the power supply is grounded.
Carry out the grounding in common with the other machines it is
being connected with. Unless common grounding is used, a ground
loop will occur, which will cause electric shock and noise static.
* The shape of the plug depends on the country of use.

Nikon
ScanTouch 210 User's Manual
2. Before Operating the Scanner
• Do not ground the unit to a gas pipe or a water pipe.
• When plugging in or unplugging the power cord, be sure to touch
only the plug. Pulling on the cord can cause breakage and failure or
electric shock.
* The shape of the plug depends on the country of use.
Nikon
• Do not connect the power cord to an extension cord, as this may
cause a malfunction.
* The shape of the plug depends on the country of use.

SCSI Chain Connection with Other Devices
If your ScanTouch is connected at the end of the SCSI chain, install the
supplied terminator to the other SCSI connector on the rear of
ScanTouch. If your ScanTouch is connected between the other SCSI
devices, no terminator on ScanTouch is necessary.
Since the terminator is built into the host computer in most cases, the
host computer should be at the end of the SCSI chain. Some notebook
computers require a terminator to be attached outside the computer;
please refer to the operation manual for the computer.
Note: The SCSI cable used for SCSI connection should be of highimpedance type.

4. Connecting the Scanner
Remarks
• The maximum number of SCSI devices that can be connected to one
computer is eight including the CPU. When using the scanner with
a host computer with a built-in SCSI hard disk or built-in CD-ROM,
note that SCSI ID numbers have been preassigned for the host CPU
and the SCSI devices.
• The SCSI cable must not be extended beyond a total length of 19
feet (6 meters), or else failure may result.
• Terminators must be attached to the devices located at both ends of
the SCSI chain.
If the host computer is a Macintosh, the Macintosh itself will
provide termination at one end of the chain.
If the host computer is an IBM PC/AT or compatible, equipped with
a SCSI board, the SCSI board itself will provide termination at one
end of the chain.
Note that when a SCSI chain connection is made inside a computer,
the end of the SCSI device inside the computer will become the end
terminal.
22
• Before installing a SCSI board, be sure to read the user’s manual
provided with the board. The numbers for the I/O address, interrupt
level (INT) and DMA channel might conflict with other interface
boards and peripheral devices. If so, change them as explained in
the manual.
Nikon
ScanTouch 210 User's Manual
4.4 Setting the SCSI ID
The SCSI ID for the ScanTouch 210 is set at “5” when the unit is
shipped. If other SCSI devices are connected to your computer, make
sure that the SCSI ID for the ScanTouch 210 is different from those
assigned to other SCSI devices.
Note that in the case of a host computer which has a built-in SCSI hard
disk or built-in CD-ROM, the ID numbers of the host CPU and each
SCSI device have already been assigned.
If the IDs are duplicated, you must change the ID number of the other
SCSI device or of the ScanTouch 210 to avoid any conflict.
Remarks
4. Connecting the Scanner
Nikon
• To change the ID, confirm that the scanner power is off. The ID
cannot be changed when the power is on.
• Do not use SCSI ID 8 and 9 or A through F on your scanner. They
are for factory use only.
• As 7 has been assigned for the CPU and 0 has been assigned to the
built-in hard disk for a Macintosh, and 0 and 7 have also been
assigned to other personal computer systems, any number from 1 to
6 is recommended for the ID number.
• If conflicting ID numbers are assigned, your system might not
function, or important data on the hard disk might be destroyed. It
is therefore essential to check the ID numbers carefully before
connecting the scanner.

6. Maintenance
With the exception of periodic cleaning or lamp replacement, the
scanner is virtually maintenance free. The following sections give the
procedures for basic maintenance of the scanner.
6.1 Static Electricity Precautions
Static electricity is a constant danger to computer systems. The charge
that can build up in your body may be strong enough to damage
electronic components on the scanner’s printed circuit board or the
computer’s interface card. Therefore, it is important to observe basic
precautions whenever handling electronic components for your
computer. Although areas with high humidity are much less prone to
static electricity, it is best to always take precautions against accidental
damage that can result in expensive repairs.
The following measures should generally be enough to protect your
equipment from static discharge.
6. Maintenance
Nikon
Discharge any static electricity that may have built up in your body by
touching a grounded or antistatic surface. For example, touch some
large metal object or the silver-toned expansion slot covers at the rear
of your computer’s case. Be sure to do this immediately before
removing any components from their antistatic bag.
When handling any electronic components, be sure to carefully avoid
touching any metal part of the component. Avoid touching any of the
gold “fingers” that plug into the expansion slot. It is best to handle
system components either by their edges or by the mounting bracket
which attaches to the slot opening in the rear of the case.
Follow the above to the best of your ability. Excessive caution is not
necessary, simply take reasonable care.
ScanTouch 210 User's Manual 29
6. Maintenance
6.2 Cleaning
Regularly cleaning the document setting glass will ensure that dirt or
smudges will not reduce the quality of your scanned images. Before
you clean the glass, make sure the scanner is turned off and the power
cord is unplugged.
Clean the document setting glass and document cover with a soft damp
cloth and a mild detergent.
30
Note: Avoid spraying the cleaning fluid directly on the glass, as this
may cause the liquid to penetrate the seams around the glass and
contaminate the mirrors and lenses inside the scanner. Please be sure
to spray the liquid on the cleaning cloth and then wipe the glass clean.

When irregularities occur, please check the following items before you
assume that there is a unit failure. For more details, refer to the
Troubleshooting section of the software manual.
If the Power indicator fails to come on
• Make sure the power cable is plugged into the scanner and a wall
socket.
• Make sure the power switch is on.

7. Troubleshooting
If the Power and Ready indicators come on, but software
returns “scanner link failed”, or a similar message
1. Make sure the cable is connected properly.
2. Check the Installation procedure to make sure you followed all of
the instructions. Macintosh users should pay special attention to the
setting of the SCSI ID number. PC users should pay special
attention to the I/O address setting.
3. Disconnect all SCSI devices and then reconnect them one by one,
beginning with the scanner, to identify the device that is causing the
problem.
4. Check the terminators and the cables. If the cable and terminators
are all properly installed, please contact your dealer.
32
Note: If you are having intermittent problems either with the link
between the scanner and your computer or are having intermittent
problems with the results of your scans, try installing an external SCSI
terminator.
