2. Setting up the Scanner  
Connecting to the Host Computer  
This scanner connects to a host personal  
computer through a SCSI interface. This  
section provides an overview of SCSI, and  
explains how to connect the scanner to a host  
computer.  
Important  
If two or more devices in a daisy chain  
share the same SCSI ID, misoperation  
and data loss may result. Set a unique  
SCSI ID for this scanner that does not  
duplicate the SCSI ID of any other de-  
vice.  
What is SCSI?  
“SCSI” (Small Computer System Interface)  
is an interface standard that is used for high-  
speed data transfer between a peripheral device  
and a host computer.  
SCSI Connection Require-  
ments for the Scanner  
In a SCSI connection, ANSI-compliant  
SCSI cables are used to connect one or  
more peripheral devices in daisy chain  
fashion to the host computer.  
This scanner complies with the SCSI-2  
standard. SCSI-1-compliant peripheral  
devices can also be connected and used  
with this scanner. The SCSI interface on  
the scanner has a 50-pin half-pitch (pin  
type) connector. Connect an ANSI-  
compliant shielded SCSI-2 cable to the  
scanner. Note that some combinations of  
cables and SCSI boards will not work  
together properly, so check this carefully.  
Each device is assigned a unique SCSI  
ID (0 to 7), which must be set for the  
device before turning on the power and  
before turning on the computer.  
The last device in the daisy chain requires  
a terminator.  
If you are using a SCSI board and driver  
software that supports SCAM, the SCSI  
ID of this scanner will be set automati-  
cally, so there is no need to set the ID. If  
you are using a driver that does not have  
a SCAM function, it will be necessary to  
set the SCSI ID for the scanner if the  
SCSI ID is identical to that of another  
device that is connected.  
The scanner’s terminator can be enabled  
or disabled by turning a DIP switch on or  
off.

2: Up to 7 devices  
3: Terminator

Connecting to the Host Computer  
Important  
Connecting the SCSI Cable  
(No Connection to Other Port)  
The total length of the SCSI cables, in-  
cluding the length of the cable inside  
the personal computer, should be no  
more than 3m (9.8 ft.) when using syn-  
chronous transfer, and no more than 6m  
(19.7 ft.) when using asynchronous  
transfer.  
Turn off the host computer and all  
A
peripheral devices that will be con-  
nected through the SCSI interface.  
Some combinations of SCSI boards and  
peripheral devices that are connected  
simultaneously may not work together  
properly.  
Use SCSI cables to connect the per-  
B
sonal computer and the peripheral de-  
vices in daisy chain fashion, with this  
scanner at the end of the daisy chain.  
(Use either of the two SCSI connec-  
tors on the scanner.)  
Setting the SCSI ID  
Set DIP switch 3 to off.  
C
This enables the scanner’s internal termi-  
nator. For details on the functions of the  
DIP switches, refer to P.43, “DIP  
Switches.”  
Turn the rotary switch to set the SCSI  
A
ID number.  
Note  
If you change the setting while the  
power is on, it is necessary to initialize  
the scanner. Refer to P.16, “Initializ-  
ing the Scanner.”

5.Troubleshooting  
When Scanning Does not Start  
If scanning does not start, check the following:  
Item to check  
Action  
Is the power on?  
Turn on the power.  
Is the SCSI ID set properly?  
If there are any other SCSI devices  
connected, the host computer may not be  
able to recognize the scanner if it has the  
same SCSI ID as another device. Refer to  
P.11, “Setting the SCSI ID,” and set a  
unique SCSI ID for the scanner.  
Are the DIP switches set properly?  
The correct DIP switch settings depend on  
whether this scanner is the last device in the  
SCSI daisy chain. Refer to P.11,  
“Connecting the SCSI Cable,” and set the  
DIP switches properly.  
Are the SCSI cables connected securey? If any cables are disconnected, connect  
them.  
Are the indicators on or flashing?  
The nature of an error can be determined  
according to the pattern in which the four  
indicators are on or flashing. Refer to P.28,  
“Error Indicators and Solutions.”  
Is the scanner driver selected properly? For details on scanner driver setup, refer to  
the manual or help information for your  
scanner driver.  
Are the software settings correct?  
For details on software settings, refer to the  
manual or help information for your  
software.

If multiple devices that support the SCAM function are connected on the same daisy  
chain, the host will not be able to recognize the IDs. In this case, set DIP switch 1 to  
“ON” (SCAM function disabled), and set the SCSI ID with the rotary switch.  
If the daisy chain is too long, or if a nonstandard SCSI cable is used, misoperation may  
occur during synchronous transfer. In this case, set DIP switch 2 to “ON” (SCSI  
synchronous transfer disabled).  
If this scanner is connected in the middle of a daisy chain, set DIP switch 3 to “ON”  
(internal SCSI terminator off).

Functions  
Scan  
This function scans an original once the scanning area, scanning composition, resolution, and  
other values have been set.  
When setting these values, consideration should be given to the original that is to be scanned and  
to the output device (display, printer, etc.). For example, it is meaningless to scan an original at  
high resolution if the resolution of the output device is lower than the scanning resolution,  
especially because high-resolution scanning uses a great deal of memory and requires more  
processing time.  
Scanning Composition  
There are three scanning composition modes: binary scanning, halftone scanning, and multi-  
value scanning.  
Binary scanning  
This mode scans the original in black and white. This mode is used to scan originals that  
consist only of text, line drawings, and other elements that lack intermediate colors.  
Halftone scanning  
This mode scans the original in pseudo-halftones created by dots. This mode is used to  
output an original that contains intermediate colors, such as a photo, on an output device that  
can only express binary per pixel, such as a laser printer.  
Gray Scale scanning  
This mode scans the original with 16 or 256 gradations. This mode is used to output an  
original that contains intermediate colors on an output device that can express different  
gradations for a single pixel, such as a Dye Sublimation printer or a display.

6. Appendices  
Binary Scanning/Threshold  
The binary scanning function converts the original into black and white image data. If the original  
contains any intermediate colors, they are compared with the threshold value and determined to be  
either black or white accordingly. The threshold value can be set to any of 255 gradations; any  
intermediate colors that are brighter than the threshold value are scanned as “white,” and those that  
are darker than the threshold value are scanned as “black.” This mode should be used to scan  
originals that have no intermediate colors and consist of only two colors, such as text or line  
drawings.  
The threshold value should be set according to the intensity of the original. For example, setting  
a high threshold value when scanning faint text will produce text that is much clearer. Conversely,  
setting a low threshold value when scanning an original that is on a colored background (such as  
text on colored paper) will eliminate the background color from the scan.  
There are two modes for the threshold value setting:  
Standard mode  
Any one of 255 values can be set.  
Dynamic threshold mode  
This function is valid only when the optional Image Processing Unit Type A is installed.  
With this mode, the optimal threshold value (given the brightness of the original) is set  
automatically.

Functions  
Halftone Scanning  
Halftone scanning converts the original into an image consisting of pseudo-halftones produced  
by dot shading (in which shading is achieved through combinations of black and white dots, as  
in newspaper photographs). This function is used to output an original that has intermediate  
tones, such as a photo, on an output device that can only produce monochrome output, such as a  
laser printer.  
Because halftone scanning expresses pseudo-halftones, it does not require as much memory,  
making it effective for filing a large volume of images. There are eleven types of halftones (ten  
dot shading patterns and one error diffusion pattern) for selection. It is also possible to scan and  
download your own dot shading patterns.  
The names in parentheses indicate the names under the ISIS driver.

Gray Scale Scanning  
Glay Scale scanning converts an original into image data consisting of 4-bit or 8-bit gradations.  
Four bits can express 16 gradations, and eight bits can express 256 gradations. This function is  
used to output an original that contains intermediate tones on an output device that can express  
intermediate tones for a single pixel, such as a display or a Dye Sublimation printer.  
Although a higher number of bits produces higher image quality, it is important to remember that  
the processing time will be longer. For example, when an area is scanned using the 8-bit multi-  
scan mode, it requires eight times as much memory as when scanning the same area through  
binary scanning or halftone scanning.

Functions  
Area Extraction  
This function extracts and scans a specified rectangular area within a scanning area.  
For example, to scan just the photograph portion of the original shown below, specify the area  
where the photograph is located. The rectangular area is specified by specifying the coordinates  
of the upper left corner of the rectangle, and the vertical and horizontal lengths.

6. Appendices  
Section Area (Multi-area Settings)  
This function permits the specification of up to four rectangular areas of any size within the  
scanning area, each of which can be set as the scanning area. When overlapping areas are set, the  
area that was set last takes priority.  
For example, when a single original contains both text and photos, specify rectangular areas for  
each, and then set binary scanning mode for the text areas and halftone scanning mode for the  
photographs. This function allows each area to be scanned in its respective scanning mode in one  
scan.  
Limitation  
During double-sided scanning, this function is valid only for the front side of the original.  
Note  
Note that scanning might not be performed in the specified manner if any of the four  
rectangular areas overlap. In this case, either decrease the number of rectangles, or  
else reduce them in size.  
This function is valid only when the optional Image Processing Unit Type A is installed.

Functions  
Auto Photo/Letter  
This function automatically determines whether the image being scanned is text (binary image) or  
photo (intermediate tone image), and scans the text areas in binary scanning mode and the photos  
in halftone scanning mode. This function is used in order to automatically scan text in binary  
scanning mode and photos in halftone scanning mode. This function allows you to scan an  
original that contains both text and photos just once while automatically scanning each type of  
area in the appropriate scanning mode without having to make special settings for each.  
Note  
This function is valid only when the optional Image Processing Unit Type A is installed.

Resolution  
This function permits setting separate resolutions for the main-scanning and the sub-scanning,  
over a range of 100dpi to 800dpi (in 1dpi increments) for each. A high resolution setting requires  
more free space in memory and requires more processing time.  
Basically, when outputting a scanned image that is the same size as the original image, set the  
same resolution as that of the output device. Image quality will suffer if the resolution is less than  
that of the output device, and it is meaningless to set a resolution that is higher than the resolution  
that the output device is capable of. However, if the output image is to be enlarged or reduced  
compared to the original, change the resolution by the same ratio.  
Limitation  
When this function is used during duplex scanning, the maximum image data size for the  
reverse side is 360 million bytes.  
Note  
When using this function, the image on the reverse side might be scanned through the  
document, depending on the condition of the original.

Functions  
Brightness  
The brightness can be adjusted to 255 levels. If a high value is set for the brightness, the image  
will become brighter overall. If a low value is set, the image will become darker overall.  
When scanning a dark original, set a high value for the brightness; when scanning a bright  
original, set a low value for the brightness. For example, if a dark original is scanned normally,  
any gradations in the darker portions will be lost and will appear to be solid black in the scanned  
image. By increasing the brightness value in this case, the gradations in the darker portion will  
also appear in the scanned image. Conversely, if the bright portions of an original become solid  
white in the scanned image, lowering the brightness value will bring out the gradations in the  
bright portion in the scanned image.  
Low brightness  
High brightness  
Contrast  
The contrast can be adjusted to 255 levels. If a high contrast value is set, the resulting image will  
have high contrast and will be sharply defined. If a low contrast value is set, the resulting low-  
contrast image will have a softer feel.  
To produce a sharp image, increase the contrast value, to produce a soft image, decrease the  
contrast value. For example, when scanning a photo of metal, glass, etc., set a high contrast value  
in order to achieve a sharp feel.

Document Size Detection  
This function automatically detects the width of the original, and sends the information to the  
personal computer.  
Document Size Detection on the Contact Glass  
5mm (0.2")  
Document Size Detection in the Auto Document Feeder (ADF)  
5mm (0.2")  
Note  
If there is any coloring on the leading edge (5mm, 0.2”) of the original, the size of the  
original might not be detected properly.  
If the sheets of the original are not set in position properly, the size of the original  
might not be detected properly. Line up the edges of the sheets of the original, and  
position the guides on both sides so that they are touching the edges of the original and  
will ensure that the original feeds straight into the ADF.  
This function is valid only when the optional Image Processing Unit Type A is installed.
