Chapter 1: Getting Started
Your scanner is extremely user-friendly. Hardware and software installation can be
completed in a few steps. In minutes you can start operating your scanner and obtain
impressive results.
This chapter tells you how to prepare your scanner for connection and installation. It
also gives some handling precautions and general care measures to ensure that your
scanner will stay in top condition at all times.
Before You Begin
Unpacking Your Scanner
Ensure that your package contains all the hardware, software, cabling and
documentation you ordered. Check for any damage that may have occurred while the
package was in transit. If there are any missing or damaged items in your scanner
package, contact your dealer or the carrier of your package immediately.
Static Electricity Precautions
Static electricity (in your body) can cause damage to the electronic components on
the scanner's printed circuit board or the computer's interface card. Therefore, you
need to discharge static build-up from your body before handling any card or
component outside of its anti-static packaging.
To protect your equipment from static discharge, you are advised to closely follow
these measures below:
!
Discharge any static build-up in your body by touching a grounded or anti-static
surface (such as a large metal object or the silver-toned expansion slot covers at
the rear of your computer.) Do this prior to removing any electronic
components from their anti-static bags.
!
When handling any electronic components, avoid touching any metal part of the
component such as the gold “fingers” that plug into the expansion slot. It is
best to handle system components either by their edges or by their mounting
brackets.

Chapter 4: Troubleshooting Tips
The scanner was designed to provide a hassle-free installation and operation.
However, should you encounter problems with your scanner, correct them by way of
the troubleshooting tips given in this chapter.
For persistent problems with your computer, consult your dealer or approved service
personnel.
General Approach
In most cases, a problem does not call for the service of a qualified technician. The
solution may be very simple, such as correcting cabling connections and the like. The
solution of a problem normally lies at the source of the problem. Therefore, it is
important that you ascertain the cause of the failure or malfunction. Below is a
general troubleshooting approach.
1. Check the connections and installation. Ensure that there are no loose
connections. Ensure that the settings on the scanner and/or the interface card
are correct.
2. Check the error messages appearing on the screen. Does the message point to a
hardware problem or software problem?
If the problem is software-related, refer to the software reference manuals or
on-line help. Most software manuals include a troubleshooting chapter.
17
If the problem is hardware-related, verify that the cause is from your computer
or scanner or in some cases, your network. If it is due to your computer
malfunctioning, then consult your computer’s reference manuals or a computer
service technician.
: Macintosh and IBM computers and compatibles display error messages
Note
that normally tell you the cause of the problem and in some cases tell you
what to check or do to solve the problem.
3. If the error message points to a problem with your scanner system, run the
scanner self-test.
Turn the power of your scanner on. At power on, your scanner automatically
runs the scanner self-test which can detect most of the problems with your
scanner.
Observe the behavior of the LED indicators. Record all your observations.
4. If all else fails, call your dealer.
To facilitate servicing, supply your dealer with the following information:
• Your host environment files such as your config.sys, autoexec.bat, win.ini,
system.ini and other system files
• Names and version of the application software you are using
• Model and version of other SCSI devices you are using
• TWAIN version
• Names and versions of the drivers you are using
• Model and version of your scanner hardware
• Error codes or messages seen
• Description of what you were doing at the time the malfunction or failure
occurred
• Description of what you did to attempt to solve the problem
• Other observations that may aid the technician in identifying the problem
and the solution
LED Indicators
The tables below list some of the more common specific problems you may have
with your scanner. Corrective actions are also given.
Problem 1: Power Indicator fails to come on
Possible Cause / Solution:
!
Make sure the power cable is plugged into the scanner and the wall socket.
!
Make sure that the power switch is on.
!
If none of the above works, contact your dealer.
Problem 2: Scanner lamp flickers, is dim, or fails to come on
Possible Cause / Solution:
!
The scanning lamp is failing or has failed and needs to be changed. Contact your
dealer.
18
Problem 3: If the Power and Ready indicators come on, but software returns
"Scanner link failed" or similar message
Possible Cause / Solution:
!
Make sure the cable is connected properly.
!
Verify the setting of the SCSI ID number. PC users should also pay special
attention to the I/O address setting.
!
Disconnect all SCSI devices and connect them one by one, beginning with the
scanner, to identify the device causing the problem.
!
Check the terminators and the cables. If problem persists, contact your dealer.
System Hang
You may encounter a situation where the PC software installation appears to be
stable and the scanner appears to be normal, but the system “hangs” whenever
scanner operations are attempted. This problem is most often caused by another card
in the system being set to the same address of your interface card. To solve the
problem:
1. Remove all unnecessary interface cards from the PC.
2. If your interface card has I/O address setting dip switches on it, reset the
switches to an unused number (not 300H).
19
3. Run Windows and your TWAIN-compliant imaging software.
4. Follow the instructions in the imaging software manual to start your scanner
driver.
5. After your scanner driver starts, an initialization file will be automatically written
to your hard disk. When your scanner driver starts, exit your scanner driver, the
imaging application, and Windows.
6. Turn off the PC and re-install the other cards in your PC.
7. When you reboot and attempt to run your scanner driver, it should come up
normally.
8. If the above does not solve the problem, consult your dealer.
20
Appendix A: Installing An ASPI-Compatible Card
If you are using an ASPI-compatible SCSI interface card with your computer and
scanner, refer to the installation instructions provided with the interface card.
After installing the card, do the following steps before connecting your scanner to
your computer.
!
Confirm or reset the SCSI address of the scanner.
!
Check the terminators in the SCSI Chain
!
Make the SCSI cable connections.
Checking the SCSI Addresses
The illustration below shows the location of the SCSI address selector at the rear
panel of the scanner. The selector shows the SCSI address setting of the scanner. In
this case, it is #5 - the factory preset address.
After installing an ASPI-compatible SCSI interface card in your computer, proceed
with the following:
1. Check the SCSI addresses of all devices on the SCSI chain. Is SCSI address #5
on the list of SCSI addresses in use?
21
5
SCSI ID
2. If not, then you can connect your computer to the scanner with a factory preset
SCSI ID of 5. You may jump to the section
Check the Terminators
in this
appendix.
Resetting the Address of the Scanner
If SCSI address #5 is in the list of SCSI addresses in use, then you must reset the
SCSI address selector to another number:
1. Ensure the scanner power is off.
2. Choose any unused number in the range 0-6.
: Do not use settings 7 to 9 on your scanner. They are for factory use only.
Note
3. Reset the scanner’s SCSI address to the number you have chosen.
Checking the Terminators
There should be two terminators in a SCSI chain: it is best to place the terminators at
each end of the SCSI chain.
The simplest configurations for using the scanner with an ASPI compatible SCSI
card are as follows:
• Connect the scanner to an ASPI compatible interface card that does not have
another device attached to it.
In this situation, the card will have a built-in terminator. The card forms one end
of the SCSI chain; the scanner forms the other end. Simply attach the supplied
external terminator to the scanner. These will ensure that there are two
terminators and that they are placed at the ends of the SCSI chain.
• Connect the scanner to an ASPI card that has another device attached to it.
In this case, check to see if the other SCSI device has a terminator. If not, attach
the terminator to the scanner. If the other device has an internal terminator,
simply attach the scanner to the SCSI chain. Although the terminators are not,
technically speaking, placed at the ends of the chain, the scanner should work
properly.
If you experience unreliable SCSI operation and suspect terminator problems, or
would like a more thorough discussion of SCSI terminators and possible problems
with SCSI terminators, please consult your dealer.
Connecting the Computer and Scanner
Now that the interface card has been installed and all of the settings on the scanner
and card are properly set, you can connect the computer and the scanner. Once this
has been done, the hardware installation will be complete. To connect the scanner
and computer, do the following:
1. Connect the SCSI cable to the interface card.
2. If your SCSI configuration requires the use of the terminator, turn on the
terminator switch.
3. Connect the other end of the SCSI cable to the scanner.
4. Connect the power cord to the scanner.
5. Turn on the scanner power.
