SETTING THE SCSI ID

Turn off the computer and all the devices in the SCSI chain

before changing SCSI IDs, connecting, or disconnecting SCSI

cables. Hardware damage may occur if this precaution is not

followed.

A SCSI ID is a unique address you assign to each SCSI device connected to your computer. The

SCSI ID range of your computer is from 0 to 7, however some ID's are already occupied.

Occupied SCSI ID

IBM PC/AT

Macintosh

7 - SCSI host adapter

0 - internal hard drive*

3 - internal CD ROM drive**

7 - operating system

* IDE Macintosh systems do not use SCSI ID 0 for the hard drive.

** SCSI ID 3 is available on the external bus on Macintosh systems with a dual bus.

Setting the SCSI ID

1. Turn off the computer and all connected SCSI

devices.

2. Determine which SCSI IDs are not being used.

3. Using a pointed object, set the switches to an

unused SCSI ID.

• The Dimâge Scan Elite’s SCSI ID is factory preset to 5. If 5 is not

occupied, there is no need to change the SCSI ID.

• Two operating SCSI devices in the same SCSI chain cannot share a

SCSI ID.

SCAN SETTINGS

Image resolution is the number of pixels per inch (ppi or dpi) that represent your scanned image.

The size of an image file is determined by its size (dimensions) and resolution.

The rule to follow when scanning is "bigger is better". To obtain the best results, set the output

resolution to the highest value your final output device (printer, monitor, etc.) can handle. The driver

software automatically determines the input resolution necessary to obtain the desired output size

and resolution.

1. Click on

in the Index window.

The Job Selection dialog box will appear.

2. Select the appropriate category from the

drop-down list.

3. Click on the job file name to select it, then

click on

window.

SCAN JOB TYPE

Before making the final scan, the scanner needs to know how big the final image will be and

the quality of output that will be used (printer, monitor, etc.) so it knows what resolution to scan

the film. Using the Job function is a quick and easy way to enter the scan settings.
