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.
• 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%
• Remove dust from the film with a blower.
6
Using Your Scanner with Other Devices (4000 ED Only)
When using the 4000 ED (SUPER COOLSCAN 4000 ED) with other devices connected to the same
bus, observe the precaution below.
When using the 4000 ED with other IEEE 1394/Firewire devices, do not:
• operate the devices
• turn the devices on or off
• disconnect or reconnect interface cables connected to the devices
while the status LED on the front of the scanner is blinking. Failure to observe this precaution could interfere
with the operation of Nikon Scan.
Connecting USB or IEEE 1394/Firewire Devices
When using the scanner with other devices connected to the same bus, observe the precautions
below.
• Connect the scanner directly to the computer. The scanner may not function as expected when
connected to a USB or IEEE 1394/Firewire hub.
• With the exception of a USB keyboard or mouse, the scanner may not function as expected when
used together with other USB or IEEE 1394/Firewire devices. Should you experience difficulties
operating the scanner, we recommend that you disconnect all other devices on the same bus and
reconnect the scanner and computer.
• Do not connect two or more scanners of the same type to the same computer simultaneously.
The description in this manual follows the order of steps you will take when setting up the scanner for
the first time, with the result that the instructions on turning the scanner on follow those on cable
connection. Please note, however, that as a USB or IEEE 1394/Firewire device, your Nikon scanner can
be connected or disconnected while on and can be used immediately following connection. There is no
need to turn off or restart the device each time it is connected.
After disconnecting the interface cable, wait a few seconds before plugging it in again.

Step 2: Choose a Location
Installing the Scanner
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 strip-film 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.
When the scanner is not in use, remove any adapters from the adapter slot and close the sliding cover to
prevent dust from accumulating inside the scanner.
Install the scanner with its feet down, as shown in the illustrations on these pages. Do not store or operate
the scanner in any other orientation.
15
Step 3: Install the IEEE 1394/Firewire Interface Board
(4000 ED Only)
Installing an IEEE 1394/Firewire Interface
If you are using a desktop computer that is not equipped with a built-in IEEE 1394/Firewire port, or if
your existing IEEE 1394/Firewire board is not one of the models tested and approved by Nikon for use
with the 4000 ED (see list provided separately), you will need to install the IEEE 1394 interface board
included with your scanner. Installation instructions are given in Appendix A, “Installing the IEEE 1394/
Firewire Interface Expansion Board.” Note that the IEEE 1394 interface board can not be installed in
laptop computers; if your laptop is not one of the models with a built-in IEEE 1394 or Firewire port that
has been tested and approved by Nikon for use with the 4000 ED, you will need to purchase and install
one of the IEEE 1394/Firewire PCMCIA cards recommended by Nikon before you can use your scan-
ner. The IEEE 1394/Firewire interface board is not required in the case of Macintosh G3 and G4
computers with built-in Firewire ports.
Step 4: Turn the Computer On
Preparing Your Computer
With the scanner off, turn on your computer. Wait until the operating system has finished starting up
before proceeding to the next step.
Step 5: Install the IEEE 1394 Update for Windows 98 SE
(4000 ED Only)
Updating the Windows 98 Second Edition IEEE 1394 Drivers
If you will be using the 4000 ED under Windows 98 Second Edition (SE), before you will be able to use
your scanner you will need to install the IEEE 1394 update as described in Appendix B, “Installing the
IEEE 1394 Update for Windows 98 Second Edition.” Users of the
COOLSCAN IV ED
and users of
other operating systems can proceed to Step 6.
