Precautions for Use
Observe the following precautions to ensure that the scanner always produces the best pos-
sible results.
Check the status LED
•Do not turn the scanner off or insert or remove film holders while the status LED is blinking.
•Do not use other IEEE 1394 (Firewire) devices or turn them on or off while the status LED is blinking.
•Do not connect or disconnect USB or IEEE 1394 (Firewire) cables while the status LED is blinking.
•Do not operate camera control software for digital cameras connected via USB while the status LED is
blinking.
When the scanner is not in use
Remove the film holder and turn the scanner off when not in use.
Connecting the scanner
•Connect the scanner directly to the computer. The scanner may not function as expected when con-
nected to an IEEE 1394 hub or adapter.
•The scanner may not function as expected when used together with other IEEE 1394 devices. Should
the scanner not function as expected, use the scanner with all other IEEE 1394 devices disconnected.
•Do not connect two or more scanners to the computer simultaneously.
Protecting film
•Before scanning film, remove dirt and dust with a blower. This will not only keep the film free of
scratches but will also help prevent scanning errors and malfunctions.
•Remove fingerprints with a soft, dry cloth, being careful not to scratch the film.
•Remove film from the holder after scanning. Storing film in the holder could damage the film.
•The film base and emulsion will deteriorate if exposed to high temperatures or humidity. Be sure tem-
perature and humidity are within the limits given below.
•Sudden changes in temperature and humidity, even when within the limits stated below, can cause
condensation on the film. Check before use to ensure that no condensation is present. If condensa-
tion has occurred, leave the film out until it dries. Condensation can damage the film during inser-
tion.
•The operating environment for the scanner is as follows:
Temperature: +10–+35°C (+50–+95°F)
Humidity: 20–60%

Connect the IEEE 1394 cable
Connect the supplied IEEE 1394 cable as shown below. Connect the scanner directly to
the computer; do not connect the cable via an IEEE 1394 hub or adapter.
Connecting the IEEE 1394 Cable
Connect the cable as shown. When connecting the cable to the computer, use a six-pin
IEEE 1394 (Firewire) terminal like that shown in the cross-section below. Attempting to
insert the connectors in another orientation or using the wrong connector could not only
damage the connector, but also the scanner or computer.
Six-Pin IEEE 1394 (Firewire) Terminal and Connector (Cross Section)
Align rounded edge of connector (circled above at
right) with matching curve on scanner or computer IEEE
1394 (Firewire) terminal (above at left).
Connecting the Scanner
• Do not connect or disconnect IEEE 1394 cables while Nikon Scan is starting or after it has started.
• The scanner may not function as expected when used with other IEEE 1394 devices. Should the scan-
ner not function as expected, use the scanner with all other IEEE 1394 devices disconnected. Do not
connect two or more scanners to the computer simultaneously.
• Do not connect or disconnect USB or IEEE 1394 interface cables or operate camera control software for
digital cameras connected via USB while the scanner status LED is blinking.
• After disconnecting the cable, wait a few seconds before connecting it again.
Computers with Four-Pin Connectors
The supplied IEEE 1394 cable can not be connected to computers with a four-pin DV connector. Use a
cable with one six-pin and one four-pin connector or a six-to-four pin adapter.

opened in the host application (
30). For ex-
ample, to scan an image so that it can be printed
within the margins of A4 (21.0×29.7cm) or letter-
sized (11˝×8.5˝) paper on a typical inkjet printer:
1
1 Click the triangle next to “Crop” in the Tool
Chest to open the “Crop” palette.
2
2 Choose Keep this Crop and use the mouse to
select a crop in the preview area (
37).
3 Choose Centimeters or Inches from the out-
3
put units menu.
4
5
4 Enter a value for Height or Width that will fit on
A4 paper (remember to leave a margin of least
2cm/0.79˝). The other value will automatically
be adjusted to maintain the current crop; if the
result is still too large, enter a value that will fit
on A4 paper.
5 Enter an output resolution of 360 pixels per
inch.
Scan Bit Depth
The scan bit depth determines the maximum number of colors in the image after scanning. A choice of
sixteen and eight bits is available in the “Scanner Extras” palette. For more information, see the Nikon
Scan Reference Manual (on CD).
Scan Image Enhancer
The image enhancement tools in the Tool Chest can be used to enhance images before they are scanned.
For example, the Scan Image Enhancer automatically adjusts brightness, contrast, and hue to produce an
image that can be printed or used “as is,” without further alteration (note that this will increase scanning
times and may not have the desired effect on dark images). For information on the Scan Image Enhancer
and the other image adjustment options and scan settings available in Nikon Scan, see “Nikon Scan” (
43) or the Nikon Scan Reference Manual (on CD).
Easy Scanning Guide
The Easy Scanning Guide gives examples of how to adjust “Crop” palette settings in a variety of situa-
tions.

Maintenance
Storage
When the scanner is not in use, eject the film holder and turn the scanner off. If the device
will not be used for a prolonged period, unplug the scanner and store it in a well-ventilated
area where the temperature is between –10°C (14°F) and +50°C (+122°F) and the humidity
less than 60%. Do not store the scanner or holders where they would be subject to sudden
temperature changes or condensation.
Cleaning
Turn the scanner off, unplug the power cable, and place the scanner on a flat, stable surface
where it will not be damaged in a fall. Use a blower or a soft dry cloth to remove dust, a soft
cloth lightly dampened with neutral detergent or liquid soap to remove tougher stains. Do
not use alcohol or other volatile chemicals.
Transport
Before transporting the scanner:
1 Turn the scanner on and eject any film holders.
2 Press and hold the eject button until the status LED stops blinking (about three seconds).
The scan mechanism will lock.
3 Turn the scanner off and disconnect the power and interface cables.
4 Repackage the scanner in the original packing materials (if the original packing materials
are unavailable, use materials at least as shock resistant as the originals).
Transporting the Scanner
Nikon scanners are only certified for use in the region or country of sale. Transport or use
outside the region or country of sale is at the risk and responsibility of the user.
Servicing
Nikon scanners are precision devices. We recommend that the scanner and holders be taken to an au-
thorized Nikon service representative once every one to two years for inspection, and once every three
to five years for servicing (fees are charged for these services). Frequent inspection and servicing are
particularly recommended in the case of scanners used in commercial applications.
