Introduction

Thank you for your purchase of a Nikon COOLSCAN ﬁ lm scanner. This manual is for use with both the SUPER COOLSCAN 5000 ED and the COOLSCAN V ED. Read this manual thoroughly before use, and keep it handy when using the product.

To make it easier to ﬁ nd the information you need, the following symbols and conventions are used:

This icon marks cautions, information that should be read before using the scanner to prevent damage to the device.

This icon marks notes, information that should be read before using the scanner.

This icon marks tips, additional information that may be helpful when using the scanner.

This icon indicates that more information is available elsewhere in this manual or in the other documentation provided.

Principal Features

• The Scan Image Enhancer automatically adjusts hue to produce images with clear contrast

• Digital ICE detects, analyzes, and automatically compensates for scratches and dust

• Digital ROC digitally restores for faded colors in old ﬁ lm

• Digital GEM automatically corrects for ﬁ lm grain, smoothing pictures taken with high-speed ﬁ lm

• Digital DEE reveals details in shadows of backlit and underexposed shots and increases con- trast in “washed- out” areas of highlights to produce natural-looking exposure

The majority of illustrations showing the scanner interface are taken from Windows XP Professional. Where operations in the two operating systems differ, illustrations from Mac OS X are also used.

Terminology

In this manual, the SUPER COOLSCAN 5000 ED is sometimes referred to as the 5000 ED. Windows XP Home Edition and Windows XP Professional are jointly referred to as Windows XP, Windows Millennium Edition as Windows Me, and Windows 98 Second Edition as Windows 98 SE.

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%
