Warning:
Nothing inside the scanner is user serviceable.
Do not disassemble the scanner. Doing so could result
in severe electrical shock and damage to the scanner.
This action may also void your warranty. Contact
Polaroid Technical Support or your dealer if the
scanner is malfunctioning. (To contact Polaroid from

2 Position the Scanner
Place the scanner on a flat, stable surface, free of vibration. Leave
at least 2 inches (50mm) of space around all sides and the top of
the scanner for adequate ventilation, and leave room at the back
to reach the power switch on the rear panel.
Caution:
As with any highly sensitive optical equipment, vibrations or bumping the scanner during use may result in
picture defects. Locate the unit where it will not be disturbed during use.

4 Connect the Scanner to
the Computer
The SprintScan 45 Ultra requires a SCSI host adapter in your
computer. If your computer does not have an adapter, you must
install one (see page 17). If your computer is a PC-compatible
with a SCSI adapter, but the adapter is connected to a hard drive
or CD-ROM drive, installing a second adapter is recommended.
Set the Scanner SCSI Address
Each device connected to a SCSI host adapter must have a unique
address from 0-6. To assure a unique address for the scanner,
determine the addresses of any other SCSI devices.
Power Mac or PowerPC Windows 95, 98 or NT

Run the Apple System
Profiler program, usually
on the Apple menu. If not,
it may be available from

Volumes to view the SCSI
device addresses.
Make sure the scanner is turned off and set the address switch
(b on page 7) to a value not used by any other device.
Note:
The address is preset to 4. Do not change it unless another
device is using 4. Other addresses typically available are 2,
5, and 6.
Look at the address switch
on each SCSI device
connected to your system. If
necessary, see the
instructions provided with
the devices.

M connector at one end for attachment to the scanner, and the
cable should be as short as possible. To determine the connector
you need for attachment to your SCSI adapter, refer to
instructions with the adapter.

6 Loading the Film Carriers
The Four-Slide Film Carrier
With the text facing up and the hinge at the top, open the
1
carrier flat as shown.
Place up to four mounted 35mm slides in the spaces pro-
2
vided. Be sure the slide mounts fit properly in the recessed
areas. The images should be right-side up and right-reading
as you do so. The emulsion side will face down.

Close the carrier carefully.
The 4x5 Carrier (for 4x5 film)
To unlock the carrier, squeeze the two halves of the carrier
1
together at the bottom edge (near the locking knob) with one
hand while turning the locking knob in either direction, until
the slot in the knob points to UNLOCK.
English 10
2
Open the carrier flat. Insert a 4x5 chrome or negative so that
the left edge is against the positioning pins. Position the film
so the image is right-reading and right-side up (emulsionside down).
The emulsion side is the dull side.
Note:
Pins

Close the carrier. Squeeze the carrier at the bottom edge and
turn the knob to lock it.
English 11
The 120 Film Adapters
(for 2 1/4 x 21/4 and 2 1/4 x 2 3/4 in. film)
Open the 4x5 carrier as described previously.
1
Locate the appropriate adapter for your image. One is
2
designed for 2 1/4 x 2 3/4 in. images, and one is for 2 1/4 x
2π in. square images.
Note:
The frame of film must be cut from the film strip in
order to be scanned.
3
Orient the adapter so that the words THIS SIDE UP (on the
adapter) face up, and the notches are at the left edge. Place
the unmounted film over the opening, within the raised
ridges of the adapter. Position the film so the image is rightreading and right-side up.
3
Secure the film with the two magnets provided, on the top
4
and bottom edges. Be sure the magnets are also within the
raised ridges.
Place the adapter in the 4x5 carrier, sliding the notches into
5
the pins on the left edge. The film and magnets should be
face up, as shown.
Close the carrier. Squeeze the carrier at the bottom edge and
6
turn the knob to lock it.
The Single-35mm Carrier
1
Open the 4x5 carrier as described previously.
Locate the single-35mm adapter.
2
Note:
You can use a negative, or a mounted or unmounted
slide.
Orient the adapter so the metal tabs face up, and the notches
3
are at the left edge. Slide the film into the channel, under the
two metal tabs. Position the film so the image is rightreading and right-side up.
English 12
4
If the film is unmounted or the mount is thin, use the slide
spacer provided. Position the slide spacer on top of the slide.
The film should fit snugly into the adapter. (The spacer also
ensures that the image will be at the correct distance from the
scanning mechanism.)
TEXT
Place the adapter in the 4x5 carrier, sliding the notches into
5
the pins on the left edge. The slide and tabs should be facing
up.
English 13
Close the carrier. Squeeze the carrier at the bottom edge and
6
turn the knob to lock it.
7 Insert the Carrier into the
Scanner
1
Open the carrier access door.
Insert the carrier gently and firmly into the carrier slot as
2
shown, until you feel it stop.
Close the carrier access door. The scanner will not scan if the
3
door is open.
Note:
4
Initiate the scan from your software. The software will
prompt you when the scan is finished.
Do not open the carrier access door while a scan is in
process; the scan will be interrupted. The scan will
resume when the door is closed, but the quality of the
scan may be reduced. Scan again with the door
closed for best scanning quality.

Installing a SCSI Host Adapter
The SprintScan 45 Ultra connects to a SCSI host adapter in your
computer. Most Macintosh computers have a SCSI adapter built
in, but most IBM PC compatible computers do not.
If you must install a SCSI adapter, turn the computer off and
follow instructions provided by the adapter manufacturer. (The
procedure usually includes software installation. If your PC uses
the Windows NT operating system, log in as an administrator
before installation.)

it, with the exception of software, prove to be defective at any
time during the warranty period, Polaroid Corporation will, at its

incorrect installation, unauthorized modification, and misuse or
abuse. A charge will be made for repair of such damage.

consequential damages, so the foregoing exclusion may not
apply to you.
