Precautions for Use
Precautions for Use
Observe the following precautions to ensure that the scanner always produces the best possible results.
Check the status LED
•Do not turn the scanner off or insert or remove fi lm or adapters while the status LED is blinking.
•Do not use other USB devices or turn them on or off while the status LED is blinking.
•Do not connect or disconnect USB or IEEE 1394 (Firewire) cables while the status LED is blinking.
•Do not operate camera control software for digital cameras connected via USB while the status LED is
blinking.
When the scanner is not in use
•To prevent accumulation of dirt and dust when the device is not in use, turn the scanner off and insert
one of the supplied adapters in the adapter slot.
•Remove optional holders from the adapter slot when not in use.
Connecting the scanner
•Connect the scanner directly to the computer. The scanner may not function as expected when connected to a USB hub or keyboard.
•The scanner may not function as expected when used together with other USB devices. Should the
scanner not function as expected, use the scanner with all other USB devices disconnected.
•Do not connect two or more scanners to the computer simultaneously.
Protecting fi lm
•Before inserting fi lm, remove dirt and dust with a blower. This will not only keep the fi lm free of
scratches but will also help prevent scanning errors and malfunctions.
•Remove fi ngerprints with a soft, dry cloth, being careful not to scratch the fi lm.
•Remove fi lm from adapters or holders after scanning. Storing fi lm in an adapter or holder could damage the fi lm.
•The fi lm base and emulsion will deteriorate if exposed to high temperatures or humidity. Be sure temperature and humidity are within the limits given below.
•Sudden changes in temperature and humidity, even when within the limits stated below, can cause
condensation on the fi lm. Check before use to ensure that no condensation is present. If condensation has occurred, leave the fi lm out until it dries. Condensation can damage the fi lm during insertion.
•The operating environment for the scanner is as follows:
Temperature: +10 – +35 °C (+50 – +95 °F)
Humidity: 20 – 60%

Scan Image Enhancer
The image enhancement tools in the Tool Chest can be used to enhance images before they are scanned.
For example, the Scan Image Enhancer automatically adjusts brightness, contrast, and hue to produce an
image that can be printed or used “as is,” without further alteration (note that this will increase scanning
times and may not have the desired effect on dark images). For information on the Scan Image Enhancer
and the other image adjustment options and scan settings available in Nikon Scan, see “Nikon Scan” (

FH-3 Film Holder
The FH-3 allows strips of 35-mm fi lm up to six frames in length to be scanned in the MA21 slide- mount adapter. The FH-3 can be used to scan fi lm that can not be scanned in the
SA-21, either because it is only one frame long or because it has excessive curl or damaged
perforations ( 58).
Placing Film in the Holder
Open the holder
1
Holding the FH-3 with the Nikon logo
uppermost, unlatch the holder snaps
and open the holder.
Place fi lm in the holder
2
Place a strip of 35-mm fi lm base up
(matte emulsion surface down) in the
bottom half of holder. Align the frame
to be scanned with an aperture in the
bottom half of the holder.
Close the holder
3
Close the holder and align the ends of
the top and bottom halves. Latch the
holder cover and snap the top and bottom halves together at both ends.

Maintenan ce
Maintenance
Caring for the Scanner
Storage
When the scanner is not in use, replace the MA-21 or SA-21 in the adapter slot and turn the
scanner off (be sure to remove any optional fi lm holders from the adapter fi lm slot). If the
device will not be used for a prolonged period, unplug the scanner and store it in a wellventilated area where the temperature is between –10 °C (14 °F) and +50 °C (+122 °F) and
the humidity less than 60%. Do not store the scanner where it would be subject to sudden
temperature changes or condensation.
When the Scanner Is Not in Use
To prevent dust from entering the scanner, be sure the MA-21 or SA-21 is in the adapter slot
when the scanner is not in use.
Accumulation of dust on the optical parts in the vicinity of the adapter slot could result in
scanning errors. Should an error occur, remove dust by sending air into the adapter slot with
a blower. Do not insert your fi ngers into the adapter slot.
Cleaning
Turn the scanner off, unplug the power cable, and place the scanner on a fl at, stable surface
where it will not be damaged in a fall. Use a blower or a soft dry cloth to remove dust, a soft
cloth lightly dampened with neutral detergent or liquid soap to remove tougher stains. Do
not use alcohol or other volatile chemicals.
Servicing
Nikon scanners are precision devices. We recommend that the scanner and adapters be taken to an
authorized Nikon service representative once every one to two years for inspection, and once every three
to fi ve years for servicing (fees are charged for these services). Frequent inspection and servicing are
particularly recommended in the case of scanners used in commercial applications.
52
Transport
Before transporting the scanner:
1 Remove the adapter from the adapter slot.
2 Turn the scanner on.
3 Wait until the status LED stops blinking.
4 Turn the scanner off.
5 Insert the MA-21.
6 Disconnect the power and interface cables.
7 Repackage the scanner in the original packing materials (if the original packing materials
are unavailable, use materials at least as shock resistant as the originals).
Tra nsporti ng the Scanner
Nikon scanners are certifi ed for use in the region or country of sale only. Transport or use
outside the region or country of sale is at the risk and responsibility of the user.
53
Caring for the SA-21 Strip-Film Adapter
Storage
When the adapter is removed from the scanner, store it in a well-ventilated area where the
temperature is between –10 °C (14 °F) and +50 °C (+122 °F) and the humidity less than 60%.
Do not store the adapter where it would be subject to sudden temperature changes or condensation.
Cleaning
The SA-21 is equipped with internal rollers for feeding and ejecting fi lm. Failure to keep the
rollers clean may result in frequent “jams” in which the scanner is unable to feed or eject
the fi lm. If jams are occurring more frequently, clean the interior of the adapter as described
below. Failure to observe this precaution could result in damaged fi lm.
Place the SA-21 on a level, stable surface
To prevent damage to the adapter, place the SA-21 on a level, stable surface during

Précautions à observer
Précautions à observer
Veuillez prendre les précautions suivantes pour obtenir systématiquement les meilleurs résultats avec le scanner.
Vérifi ez l’état du témoin DEL
•N’insérez pas ou ne retirez pas les fi lms ou les adaptateurs lorsque le témoin DEL clignote.
•Lorsque le témoin DEL clignote, n’utilisez pas d’autres périphériques USB, ni ne les mettez sous tension
ou hors tension.
•Ne branchez pas ni ne débranchez les câbles USB ou IEEE 1394 (Firewire) tant que le témoin DEL clignote.
•N’utilisez pas de logiciel de commande d’appareil photo destiné à des appareils photo numériques
connectés via l’USB, tant que le témoin DEL clignote.
Lorsque vous n’utilisez pas le scanner
•Pour éviter que des impuretés ou de la poussière ne s’infi ltrent lorsque vous n’utilisez pas le matériel,
éteignez le scanner et insérez l’un des adaptateurs fournis dans la fente prévue à cet effet.
•Lorsque vous n’utilisez pas le scanner, retirez les porte-fi lms optionnels de la fente.
Connexion du scanner
•Connectez le scanner directement à l’ordinateur. Le scanner risque de ne pas fonctionner correctement
si vous le connectez via un hub USB ou le port USB du clavier.
•Le scanner risque de ne pas fonctionner correctement lorsque vous l’utilisez conjointement à d’autres périphériques USB. Si c’est le cas, déconnectez tout autre périphérique USB lorsque vous utilisez le scanner.
•Ne connectez pas simultanément plusieurs scanners à l’ordinateur.
Protection des fi lms
•Avant d’insérer le fi lm, enlevez les impuretés et la poussière à l’aide d’un pinceau souffl ant pour éviter
que la surface du fi lm ne soit rayée mais également pour éviter un dysfonctionnement et des erreurs
de numérisation.
•Eliminez les traces de doigt avec un chiffon sec et doux, tout en veillant à ne pas rayer la surface du
fi lm.
•Retirez le fi lm des adaptateurs ou des porte-fi lms après la numérisation. Vous risquez sinon d’endommager le fi lm.
•Le support et l'émulsion du fi lm se détériorent si ce dernier est exposé à une température élevée et à
l'humidité. Utilisez le scanner à la température et au taux d’humidité recommandés ci-dessous.
•De brusques changements de température et de taux d'humidité, même dans les limites indiquées
