All first-time users should arrange for training from a qualified user from their working group to
receive training prior to scanning. AFTER users have been trained and are competent using the
scanner, they will be given access to Lilly B-216.
Bulbs that come with scanner are different than older scanner!
Philips DDL 20V150W-3 (Made in Japan)
When a bulb fails, enter in the logbook and ask Paul to change the bulb.
Do’s:
Clean up after yourself.
Use gloves at all times when working inside the scanner/handling negatives.
Enter your session into the log book.
Sign up for no more than 1 session at a time.
Cancel your reservations promptly if you can’t use your reservation.
Report any problems you find with the scanner to Paul and enter them into the logbook.
Don’ts:
No eating/drinking near scanner.
Never turn off the upper (tan) computer that drives the scanner.
Do not improvise – if you can’t figure it out, get help.
Do not install any software or download files onto the PC.
Do not add things to the “desktop” of the computer.
Do not write into the system disk (C:) or the scratch disk (D:). Your files should be
written in E: and F: instead (see scanning instructions).
Do not read e-mail, play games, listen to CDs with the PC, etc.
The scanner is extremely sensitive to the configuration of the PC driving it. WE HAVE
BEEN WARNED BY THE COMPANY NOT TO MODIFY THE CONFIGURATION
OF THE PC. THEY WILL NOT SERVICE THE INSTRUMENT IF IT HAS BEEN
MODIFIED IN A MANNER INCONSISTENT WITH THE SCANNER
REQUIREMENTS. Ask an experienced scanner user before exploring all the new
features of the software. DO NOT change the configuration without notice.
Violation of these rules may result in loss of scanner privileges.

Before scanning:
1) Confirm that the scanner is not currently in use.
The scanner should be turned off after every scanning session, unless the next person
scanning has showed up before the last person finishes.
2) Enter the date, your name, your supervisor’s name into the log.
(Complete log entry after scanning – including number of micrographs scanned and scanner
performance.)
How to turn on the scanner:
1) Turn scanner on first (before turning on PC) – green rocker switch on left side of the
scanner.
2) After scanner has run self-diagnostics (indicated on top of scanner at front left), turn on
the PC (upper rocker switch behind black door).
The PC boots up with Windows 2000.
How to log on to the PC:
ctrl-alt-delete (this brings up the log in prompt)
Username: ZI User
Password: get from Paul
Make sure the PC boots up properly before loading films, etc. If it doesn’t, enter the symptoms
in the log and notify Paul.
How to load films:
1) Prepare scanner and negative for scanning (WEAR GLOVES!):
A solution 100% ethanol or glass cleaner (such as Windex) may be used to clean the
glass plates. Be extremely careful not to introduce scratches onto the plates – they are
very expensive, optical-quality glass. Any user who finds any scratch on the surface
of the glass should write this down in the log book.
Kimwipes or other high lint paper is not good for cleaning the glasses because they
will leave residue. Use low lint cloths or lens paper to clean glass plates.
DO NOT USE CANNED DUST REMOVER TO CLEAN THE SCANNER. THIS
CAN DAMAGE THE SCANNER BY LEAVING A RESIDUE ON SENSITIVE
PARTS.
Negatives may be cleaned using a photographic brush or canned air.
