This guide provides you with the infor-

Quick Start Guide (1)

mation you need to get started with your Nikon scanner.

Keep the Adapter Slot Closed

In order to ensure that your scanner always produces the best possible results, remove the adapter and close the sliding cover when the scanner is not in use.

Never remove an adapter from the scanner without first ejecting the film and checking that the status LED on the front of the scanner is glowing steadily. Do not insert or remove adapters, insert or eject film, or turn the scanner off while the LED is blinking.

After using the scanner, eject the film from the adapter and turn the scanner off, then remove the adapter and close the sliding cover.

Choose a Location

Before connecting the power and interface cables, choose a flat, stable location for your scanner close to the computer and to a suitable power outlet. Do not install your scanner where:

it would be exposed to direct or reflected sunlight it would be subject to condensation or to drastic changes in temperature it would be exposed to dust or smoke it would be exposed to water vapor from a humidifier it would be exposed to radio interference from other electronic devices the temperature exceeds 35°C (95°F) or falls below 10°C (50°F) other objects would block the scanner’s vents

The scanner has feet on two sides, allowing it to be installed in either of the orientations shown below. Leave enough space around the scanner to ensure ease of operation: at least 5 cm (2˝) above and on either side of the scanner, and 10 cm (4˝) behind it. When using the SA-21 stripfilm adapter, the front of the scanner should be at least 15 cm (6˝) from the edge of the surface on which the scanner is placed to prevent film from falling to the floor when ejected from the adapter’s film slot. If you are using the FH-3 film holder, leave at least 25 cm (9.8˝) free in front of the scanner.

Protect Your Film

The Digital ICE photo retouch function built into your Nikon scanner can be used to eliminate the effects of dust, scratches, and surface defects on your film. To ensure the best possible results and to prevent damage to slides or film, however, be sure to protect your film from dust, fingerprints, and condensation as described below.

Fingerprints can be removed with a soft, dry cloth. Be careful not to scratch the surface of the film when removing fingerprints.

Remove dust from the film with a blower. The film base and emulsion will deteriorate if exposed to high temperatures or

humidity. Use the scanner at the temperature and humidity given in the specifications (see below).

Sudden changes in temperature and humidity, even when within the limits given in the specifications, can cause condensation on the film. Before using film, check to be sure that no condensation is present.

If condensation is present on the film, leave the film out until it dries. Condensation can cause damage when film is inserted in the scanner.

Before inserting film in the scanner, remove dirt and dust with a blower to protect the surface of the film from scratches. Dirt and dust can also interfere with the operation of the scanner, causing scanning errors or malfunctions.

The operating temperature and humidity for your scanner are: Temperature: +10 – +35°C (+50 – +95°F) Humidity: 20 – 60%

Using the 4000 ED with Other Devices

When using the 4000 ED with other devices connected to the same IEEE 1394 (Firewire) bus:

Do not turn other devices on or off or disconnect interface cables while scanning is in progress (i.e., while the scanner status LED is blinking slowly).

Connect the scanner directly to the computer. The scanner may not function as expected when connected to an IEEE 1394 hub.

The scanner may not function as expected when operated at the same time as other IEEE 1394 devices. Should a problem occur when the scanner is used with other IEEE 1394 devices, disconnect all IEEE 1394 devices, including the scanner, and then reconnect the scanner.

Only one scanner can be connected to the computer at a time.

Using the COOLSCAN IV ED with Other Devices

When using the COOLSCAN IV ED with other devices connected to the same USB port:

Do not turn other devices on or off or disconnect interface cables while scanning is in progress (i.e., while the scanner status LED is blinking slowly).

Connect the scanner directly to the computer. The scanner may not function as expected when connected to a USB hub.

The scanner may not function as expected when operated at the same time as other USB devices. Should a problem occur when the scanner is used with other USB devices, disconnect all USB devices, including the scanner, and then reconnect the scanner.

Only one scanner can be connected to the computer at a time.

Connecting the Scanner

Although this manual instructs the user to turn the scanner off before connecting the interface cable, IEEE 1394 cables can be connected while the scanner and computer are on and the scanner used immediately following connection. There is consequently no need to turn the scanner off every time the cable is connected or disconnected. You should, however, leave a few seconds between disconnecting and reconnecting the cable.

Installing the IEEE 1394/Firewire Interface Board (4000 ED Only)

If your computer is not already equipped with a built-in IEEE 1394 interface port or a suitable expansion board or card, you can install the IEEE 1394/Firewire interface board provided with your scanner. Detailed instructions may be found in the manual included with the interface board.

Do I Need to Install the IEEE 1394/Firewire Interface Board?

You will not need to install the IEEE 1394 (Firewire) interface board provided with your scanner if:

•Your computer is equipped with a built-in IEEE 1394 (Firewire) port. Macintosh users should note that old-model (beige) G3 computers are not equipped with a built-in Firewire port.

•Your computer is equipped with an IEEE 1394 (Firewire) expansion board or card approved for use with the 4000 ED.

The IEEE 1394 (Firewire) interface board included with your scanner can not be used in laptop computers or in low-profile PCI slots. In these cases, you will need to install one of the interface boards or cards recommended by Nikon. For more information, see the following web site:

http://www.nikon-image.com/en/ei_cs/index.htm

Installing the Interface Board

There are two steps to installing the interface board:
