1. Introduction
1.2 Before Running the Updater
1.1 Overview
The LS-2000 firmware update program, LS2000_xxx.exe
(Macintosh version LS2000_xxx; “xxx” is a three-digit number
giving the firmware version), and the LS-30 firmware update
program, COOLSCANIII_xxx.exe, are utilities that update the
firmware stored in the flash memory of the LS-2000 or
COOLSCAN III. The program code to be written to the LS2000 and COOLSCAN III is incorporated in “LS2000_xxx.exe”
and “COOLSCANIII_xxx.exe” respectively.
Update program icon
To run the update program, you must have Nikon Scan version
2.0 or later installed on your system and your LS-2000 or
COOLSCAN III must be ready for use. Note also that the
existing firmware can not be overwritten by an earlier version.
Before running the updater, close any other applications. No
operations of any kind, including moving the mouse, should be
performed on the host computer while the updater is running.
You should also turn off any programs such as screen savers
that start after a certain length of time has passed.
Before performing an update, check again to make sure that the
power cables for both the scanner and host computer, and the
interface cable(s) connecting the two, are firmly in place. After
beginning the update, do not turn off the scanner or the host
computer until a message appears indicating that the update is
complete. You should also be sure not to disconnect the
interface cable. Depending on their timing, either of these
actions could damage the scanner’s firmware, making further
downloads impossible.
The update will take about a minute to finish.
