System overview

The Océ CS40xx scanners wide format scanners offer solutions for large
format, high volume scanning in colour or graytone mode.

The scanners have fluorescent lighting and individual adaptive light
compensation on each pixel.

They support up to three interface options according to the scanner model:

■ USB interfacing for easy connectivity (see ‘USB installation’ on page 21).

■ USB + Standard SCSI interface

■ SCSI + FireWire.

Prerequisites

■ PC or supported workstation with Win 98, 98SE, ME, NT4, 2000 or XP

(with SCSI or USB) and Win ME, 2000 or XP (with FireWire).

Attention: USB a nd FireWire are not supported on Windows NT.

■ FireWire port enabled, USB port or SCSI interface-kit matching the

workstation.

■ The Scanner Maintenance Kit CD supplied with your scanner to install the

scanner drivers, Océ Scanner Agent and Scanner maintenance.

Note: These must be installed before setting up the scanner. Refer to the

Scanne r M aint en an ce us er ma nual for more in fo rm at io n.

■ The Scanner Maintenance Kit.

Scanner features

The Océ CS40xx scanners comprises the following features:

■ Media thickness up to 0.6” (15 mm)

■ Variable resolution in one-dpi increments

■ Individual tone adjustment for each colour channel (RGB) via gamma and

black and white point correction

■ All-digital cameras to ensure minimum noise

■ Colour and monochrome 2-D sharpening and softening filters to enhance

fine details and reduce moiré effects when you scan halftone originals

■ Colour calibration using the ANSI IT-8 colour reference chart to improve

long term stability of the scanner colour balance, linearity and chromaticity

■ ICC (International Colour Consortium) profile to support Colour

Management Systems (CMS)

■ Colour feature extraction to enhance clarity from poor quality originals and

improve details in complex maps and drawings.

■ Support monochrome graytone capture of 12 bits passing the best 8 bits to

the computer to enhance graytone precision.

■ Monochrome scanner functions.

■ Scanning modes from true colour (24-bit RGB) to black and white.

Introduction 7

Operating modes

The Océ CS40xx scanners scanners scans documents in the following colour
and black and white modes:

24 bit RGB colour mode This mode scans ima ges at the full 2 4-bit true co lour

mode for 16.8 million colours.

Indexed colour mode When you scan documents with a limited range of

colours, th is mode maps true colou rs to a n inde xed co lour p alette. T he sc anner
generates this colour palette automatically when it does an adaptive colour
prescan of the original.

The scanner’s ability to transform a true colour image from 16.8 million
colours down to 16 or 256 colours greatly reduces the data volume. At the same
time, the scan speed increases and the disk storage requirements decrease
(needing only 4 bits or 8 bits per pixel, compared with the 24 bits required in
true colour mode).

Feature extracted (classified) colour mode This mode us es colour mapping

to sort the observed colour features in a document and to classify them into
categories using a colour LUT (look up table). Y ou can generate this LUT once
and download it to the scanner for a similar class of documents. Colour
mapping can improve details in complex maps or drawings, while increasing
the scan speed and minimizing disk storage requirements.

Grayscale mode (256 levels) This mode scans the actual gray level of each

pixel, up to 256 levels. Each pixel corresponds to 1 byte (8 bits). The images
scanned in grayscale mode result in files that are 8 times larger than
uncompressed files scanned in lineart mode at the same resolution.

B/W modes (bitmapped, 2-level) This mode reproduces each scanned pixel as

a single bit, either black (1) or white (0), depending on whether its gray level
lies below or above the threshold level. This mode supports both fixed level
and 2-D adaptive thresholding.

B/W copy mode (halftone dither) Converts gray levels of the scanned pixels

into halftones by dithering. This results in very high density line mode files that
are much larger than uncompressed files scanned in line mode at the same
resolution.

Prerequisite

Before installing and connecting your scanner, you MUST install the Océ
Scanner Agent software because it contains all the drivers necessary to set up
your system correctly.

▼ Install Océ Scanner Agent

1

Insert the Scanner maintenance kit CD-ROM in your CD driver. The setup
program is launched automatically.

2 Click ‘Install Océ Scanner Agent’.
3 Follow the instructions of the setup wizard.
4 At the end of the installation, the wizard asks if you want to run Océ Scanner

Agent at start-up. Click ‘Yes’ if you want the application to be started
automatically each time you boot your PC.

Note: Note: Th is is recomm en de d wh en yo u defi ne time s to p owe r o n and

off the scann er automatic ally in the Timer settings (see ‘Timer settings’ on
page 13).

5 Click ‘Finish’ to exit the setup program. The Océ Scanner Agent icon appears

on the system tray.

SCSI installation

On PC-DOS or compatible computers running Windows 98/ME/2000/XP or
Windows NT 4.0, you must first install the SCSI board before you connect the
scanner to your computer.

SCSI connection precautions

■ Power off your system, your scanner, and all peripheral devices before you

connect or disconnect SCSI cables. Failure to do this may result in a system
crash and, in some cases, destruction of data on your hard disk.

■ If the scanner is the last device on the SCSI bus, turn on the built-in active

SCSI terminator (switch 4). Otherwise make sure you turn this switch off. Do
not connect any other terminator on the unused SCSI connector, since switch
4 already specifies termination.

■ The total length of all SCSI cables must be less than 4 meters.

SCSI board installation

Attention: Use only t he SCS I boa rd provided wit h the s c ann er. Do n ot

connec t an y o th er SC SI dev ice t o t he sa me S C S I bo a rd.

▼ To install the SCSI board on the computer

1

Power off computer unit and all peripherals, such as diplays or printers.

2 Unplug the computer and peripherals from the electrical outlet.
3 With a screwdriver, loosen the screws to remove the computer cover. Remove

the top cover to expose the extension slots.

4 Choose a free extension slot. Loosen and remove the screw to the back panel.
5 Holding the SCSI board by its metal support bracket, align and press the board

firmly into the extension slot.

6 Use the back panel screw to secure the board to the computer frame (Put the

cover of the computer back on only after having completed the configuration).

7 For the SCSI driver installation under Windows 98/ME/2000/XP and Windows

NT, please refer to the documentation delivered with your SCSI package.

Connection of the scanner to the computer

The SCSI cable connectors and the USB connector are located at the rear of
the scanner.

One of the SCSI connectors is used for connecting the scanner. The extra one
is only used if you want to daisychain another device to your system.

▼ To connect the scanner to the computer

1

Check at the back of the sca nner for t he SCSI ter minatio n. If th e scanner is the

last devi ce on the SCSI bus, turn on switch 4, the built-in active SCSI

termination. If the scanner is not the last device, make sure switch 4 is off.

Attention: Do not turn on s wi tch 4 and use a t er mi na to r bl ock a t the s ame

time.

2 Switch off your computer and your scanner.
3 Disconnect the power cord.
4 Connect one end of the supplied SCSI cable into the SCSI board connector at

the back of the computer.

5 Connect the other end of the SCSI cable to one of the two SCSI connectors on

the back of the scanner.

6 Set up the scanner SCSI address.

SCSI address setup

You set the SCSI device number on the DIL switch behind the scanner.

▼ To set up SCSI device address

1

Power off the computer and the scanner.

2 To locate the DIL switch, slide the streamer on the front of the scanner to the

left.

3 Press the ‘Push’ button to slide out the ‘smart card’ holder.
4 Remove the ‘smart card’ to access the switch.

Note: Rememb er t o replac e t he ‘sm a rt c ard’ b efore you tur n t he s canne r
