Keep the Adapter Slot Closed

In order to ensure that your scanner always produces the best possible results, remove the

adapter and close the sliding cover when the scanner is not in use.

Never remove an adapter from the scanner without first ejecting the film and check-

ing that the status LED on the front of the scanner is glowing steadily. Do not insert

or remove adapters, insert or eject film, or turn the scanner off while the LED is

blinking.

After using the scanner, eject the film from the adapter and turn the scanner off,

then remove the adapter and close the sliding cover.

Choose a Location

Before connecting the power and interface cables, choose a flat, stable location for your scan-

ner close to the computer and to a suitable power outlet. Do not install your scanner where:

it would be exposed to direct or reflected sunlight

it would be subject to condensation or to drastic changes in temperature

it would be exposed to dust or smoke

it would be exposed to water vapor from a humidifier

it would be exposed to radio interference from other electronic devices

the temperature exceeds 35°C (95°F) or falls below 10°C (50°F)

other objects would block the scanner’s vents

The scanner has feet on two sides, allowing it to be installed in either of the orientations shown

below. Leave enough space around the scanner to ensure ease of operation: at least 5 cm (2˝)

above and on either side of the scanner, and 10 cm (4˝) behind it. When using the SA-21 strip-

film adapter, the front of the scanner should be at least 15 cm (6˝) from the edge of the surface

on which the scanner is placed to prevent film from falling to the floor when ejected from the

adapter’s film slot. If you are using the FH-3 film holder, leave at least 25 cm (9.8˝) free in front

of the scanner.

Protect Your Film

The Digital ICE photo retouch function built into your Nikon scanner can be used to eliminate

the effects of dust, scratches, and surface defects on your film. To ensure the best possible

results and to prevent damage to slides or film, however, be sure to protect your film from dust,

fingerprints, and condensation as described below.

Fingerprints can be removed with a soft, dry cloth. Be careful not to scratch the

surface of the film when removing fingerprints.

Remove dust from the film with a blower.

The film base and emulsion will deteriorate if exposed to high temperatures or

humidity. Use the scanner at the temperature and humidity given in the specifica-

tions (see below).

Sudden changes in temperature and humidity, even when within the limits given in

the specifications, can cause condensation on the film. Before using film, check to

be sure that no condensation is present.

If condensation is present on the film, leave the film out until it dries. Condensation

can cause damage when film is inserted in the scanner.

Before inserting film in the scanner, remove dirt and dust with a blower to protect

the surface of the film from scratches. Dirt and dust can also interfere with the

operation of the scanner, causing scanning errors or malfunctions.

The operating temperature and humidity for your scanner are:

Temperature: +10 – +35°C (+50 – +95°F)

Humidity: 20 – 60%

Using the 4000 ED with Other Devices

When using the 4000 ED with other devices connected to the same IEEE 1394 (Firewire) bus:

Do not turn other devices on or off or disconnect interface cables while scanning is

in progress (i.e., while the scanner status LED is blinking slowly).

Connect the scanner directly to the computer. The scanner may not function as

expected when connected to an IEEE 1394 hub.

The scanner may not function as expected when operated at the same time as other

IEEE 1394 devices. Should a problem occur when the scanner is used with other IEEE

1394 devices, disconnect all IEEE 1394 devices, including the scanner, and then re-

connect the scanner.

Only one scanner can be connected to the computer at a time.

Using the COOLSCAN IV ED with Other Devices

When using the COOLSCAN IV ED with other devices connected to the same USB port:

Do not turn other devices on or off or disconnect interface cables while scanning is

in progress (i.e., while the scanner status LED is blinking slowly).

Connect the scanner directly to the computer. The scanner may not function as

expected when connected to a USB hub.

The scanner may not function as expected when operated at the same time as other

USB devices. Should a problem occur when the scanner is used with other USB

devices, disconnect all USB devices, including the scanner, and then reconnect the

scanner.

Only one scanner can be connected to the computer at a time.

Connecting the Scanner

Although this manual instructs the user to turn the scanner off before connecting the interface cable, IEEE

1394 cables can be connected while the scanner and computer are on and the scanner used immediately

following connection. There is consequently no need to turn the scanner off every time the cable is

connected or disconnected. You should, however, leave a few seconds between disconnecting and recon-

Installing the IEEE 1394/Firewire Interface Board (4000 ED Only)

If your computer is not already equipped with a built-in IEEE 1394 interface port or a suitable

expansion board or card, you can install the IEEE 1394/Firewire interface board provided with

your scanner. Detailed instructions may be found in the manual included with the interface

board.

Do I Need to Install the IEEE 1394/Firewire Interface Board?

You will not need to install the IEEE 1394 (Firewire) interface board provided with your scanner if:

• Your computer is equipped with a built-in IEEE 1394 (Firewire) port. Macintosh

users should note that old-model (beige) G3 computers are not equipped with a

built-in Firewire port.

• Your computer is equipped with an IEEE 1394 (Firewire) expansion board or card

approved for use with the 4000 ED.

The IEEE 1394 (Firewire) interface board included with your scanner can not be used in laptop

computers or in low-profile PCI slots. In these cases, you will need to install one of the interface

boards or cards recommended by Nikon. For more information, see the following web site:

http://www.nikon-image.com/en/ei_cs/index.htm

Installing the Interface Board

There are two steps to installing the interface board:

1. Insert the interface board in one of your computer’s free PCI slots ( 10)

2. Install the drivers for the interface board (Windows only;

11–15)

In Windows XP, Windows 2000 Professional, and Windows Me, the necessary drivers will be

installed automatically after you install the interface board.

If you are using a computer running Windows 98 SE, you must update the IEEE 1394

driver as instructed on page 17 of this manual before installing the interface board.

Installing the Interface Board (4000 ED Only)

Installing the IEEE 1394/Firewire Interface Board in a PCI Slot

After turning the computer off and disconnecting all cables, insert the interface board in one of

the computer’s PCI slots as shown below. For information on the location of the PCI slots and

on installing PCI boards, see the documentation provided with your computer.

If you will be using the interface board

with devices that require power to be sup-

plied by the computer, you will need to

connect the board to the computer’s

power supply. You will not need to con-

nect the power supply if you will only be

using the 4000 ED, which receives power

from an external source.

WARNING

Observe caution when installing the interface board. Use of excessive force could damage the

computer or interface board.

Click the triangle at the top left corner of the Digital ICE cubed (Digital ICE³) palette in the

Tool Chest to view the controls in the Digital ICE cubed palette (for more information on

Digital ICE³, see page 51 of the Nikon Scan 3 Software Manual).

Click

To remove dust and scratches from the image, check Enable Digital ICE and select Nor-

mal or Fine from the Digital ICE menu. A setting of Fine can be used to remove very fine

scratches or barely visible dust, although this may sometimes result in reduced sharpness.

To restore faded colors or reduce the effects of film grain, first check Enable Post Pro-

cessing. Faded colors can be restored adjusting the Digital ROC (for Restoration of Color)

slider, while the image can be processed to minimize grain using the Digital GEM (for

Grain Equalization and Management) slider. Moving the sliders to the right increases the

effects of Digital ICE³. To view the effects of Digital ROC or Digital GEM in the preview

image, click the Redraw button.

Because of the complexity of the processing involved, Digital ICE³operations require additional time to

perform. The time required is determined in part by the processing power of your computer and in part by

the size of the image.

Information

Use these tools to select the portion of the im-

age to be scanned (the “crop”) and to rotate

and flip the image prior to scanning. You can

also select a new focus area and scroll images

that have been opened in Nikon Scan after

scanning.

Gives the height and width of the current crop

and the coordinates of its top left corner. The

color value display shows the color of the pixel

under the cursor before and after processing.

Crop

Curves

This is where you adjust the resolution and size

of the image according to the output device

(printer or monitor) on which the image will

be displayed.

One of three color editing tools offered by

Nikon Scan, the curves tool is useful when ad-

justing contrast and making changes to color

balance that effect only a specific portion of

the tone range (shadows, mid-tones, or high-

lights).

Color Balance

LCH Editor

Use the color balance tools to make adjust-

ments to brightness, contrast, and color balance

that affect the entire image.

Like the Curves tool, the LCH editor can be used

to adjust brightness and contrast in shadows,

mid-tones, and highlights. It also incorporates

hue and chroma editors, which provide ex-

tremely flexible tools for adjusting color.

Unsharp Mask

Digital ICE cubed

Unsharp mask increases the sharpness of the

image by making edges more distinct, either

over the entire image or in areas where spe-

cific colors are prominent.

Three tools are available:

• Digital ICE: reduces the effects of dust and

scratches

• Digtial ROC: restores colors lost through fad-

ing

• Digital GEM: reduces the effect of film grain

Analog Gain

Scanner Extras

Using analog gain, you can adjust colors by di-

rectly altering the exposure value for each of

the colored elements in the scanner’s light

source.

These tools offer control over features specific

to your scanner.

Problem

Possible Cause

• A connection error or scanner hardware malfunction

has occurred

–

Turn the scanner and computer off and disconnect the scan-

ner from the computer. Wait five seconds, then turn the

scanner on again. If the status LED flashes rapidly, a hard-

ware malfunction has occurred. Contact your retailer or

Nikon service representative for advice. If the status LED

blinks slowly at first and then glows steadily, turn the scan-

ner off and reconnect it to your computer, then start your

computer and turn the scanner on. If the status LED flashes

rapidly after the scanner is reconnected and turned on, there

may be a problem with the interface between the scanner

and the computer. Try the following measures to resolve

the problem:

The status LED flashes

rapidly (scanner connected

to computer)

• Disconnect all other devices that use same interface as

the scanner

• Re-install Nikon Scan

148

–

• Update the device drivers for the USB or IEEE 1394/

Firewire interface (Windows only)

• Update the device drivers for your scanner (Windows

only)

• The film is not properly inserted

Eject and re-insert film.

• The film was moved during scanning or scanner was

subjected to shock or vibration

Do not use the scanner where it will be subject to shock or

vibration. Failure to observe this precaution could result in

malfunction.

112

The quality of scanned

images is poor

• Settings are improperly adjusted in Nikon Scan

Refer to the Nikon Scan 3 Software Manual for information

on adjusting scanner settings, or try resetting scanner set-

tings to factory defaults.

Problem

Possible Cause

• The scanner is off

Turn the scanner on.

• The scanner was turned on with the FH-3 film holder

inserted in the adapter slot

After removing the FH-3, turn the scanner off and then on

again.

105

• The interface cable is not properly connected

After confirming that the scanner is off, reconnect the cable.

• Another device or program using the same interface

conflicts with the scanner or Nikon Scan

148

Remove all other hardware connected to the same bus as

the scanner. If the scanner is connected to a hub, exten-

sion cable, or other adapter, disconnect the adapter and

connect the scanner directly to the computer. If this does

not solve the problem, uninstall other software that uses

the same interface and re-install Nikon Scan.

• Your computer system does not meet the minimum

system requirements

See the Nikon Scan 3 Reference Manual for more informa-

tion on system requirements.

• The interface board is not compatible with Nikon Scan

If you are using the 4000 ED, check the compatiblity infor-

mation provided with your scanner to determine whether

the IEEE 1394/Firewire board you are using is compatible

with Nikon Scan (if you are using Windows computer with

a built-in IEEE 1394 port, check the make and model num-

ber of your computer). Updated compatiblity information

may also be available on the Nikon support web site for

your area. If your IEEE 1394/Firewire board is not compat-

ible with Nikon Scan, install the REX-PFW2W IEEE 1394 in-

terface board included with your scanner (desktop com-

puters) or purchase one of the recommended PCMCIA in-

terface cards (laptop computers). Note that the COOLSCAN

IV ED will only function with built-in USB ports.

• The interface board is not correctly installed

Check the documentation for your IEEE 1394 or Firewire

interface board.

Your computer does not

recognize the scanner

• The device driver for your scanner is missing or cor-

rupted (Windows only)

Check that the driver is correctly installed.

• Nikon Scan is not correctly installed

Uninstall and re-install the software.

When Film Jams in the SA-21

When film jams in the SA-21, Nikon Scan will display an error and the scanner status LED will

flash at rate of about five times per second. How you will handle the jam depends on whether

the film is caught inside the adapter of if the problem occurred while the film was loading.

If the Film Jams During Loading

If the scanner is unable to load the film, the film will automatically be ejected and the following

error message will be displayed:

Click OK and check whether the film is suitable for use in the SA-21. If it is, wait for the status

LED to stop flashing and then reinsert the film. If the film can not be scanned in the SA-21,

follow the instructions in “Film That Can Not Be Scanned in the SA-21.”

If the above error occurs when no film is inserted in the scanner, it may indicate that the

adapter requires cleaning. Clean the adapter as described under “Maintenance: Caring for

Adapters.”

If the Film Is Not Ejected

If the film is not ejected after you have clicked OK to close the above error message, follow the instructions

under “If the Film Jams Inside the Adapter.”

If the Film Jams Inside the Adapter

If film jams inside the adapter, the following error message will be displayed:

Click OK to release the adapter locking mechanism. When the status LED to stop blinking,

remove the adapter from the scanner, taking care to ensure that any film that may be protrud-

ing from the rear of the adapter does not come into contact with the scanner’s internal parts.

Remove the film from the adapter as described in the following section.

If the above error occurs when no film is inserted in the scanner, it may indicate that the

adapter requires cleaning. Clean the adapter as described under “Maintenance: Caring for

Adapters.”

SA-21 Locking Mechanism

When not inserted in the scanner, the SA-21’s locking mechanism is usually out of sight within the

adapter. A shock or blow may sometimes cause the locking mechanism to spring out from the

sides of the adapter. The adapter can nevertheless be inserted into the scanner normally.

Releasing the film adapter’s lock mechanism following the instructions in the error message makes

it possible to remove the adapter from the scanner. Note, however, that film may be protruding

from the rear of the adapter; when removing the adapter, take care that the film does not catch

on the scanner’s internal parts.

Do not reinsert the adapter immediately after removing it from the adapter slot, as this could

result in damage to any film that may be protruding from the rear of the adapter.

Maintenance

Caring for Your Scanner

Storing the Scanner

When not using the scanner, turn it off, remove any adapters from the adapter slot, and slide

the cover closed as shown below.

Sliding cover

If you will not be using the scanner for an extended period, turn off and unplug the scanner.

Store the scanner where:

• the temperature is between minus twenty and plus sixty degrees Centigrade (–4°F – +140°F)

• the humidity is between twenty and ninety percent (no condensation)

Servicing Your Scanner

Your scanner is a precision machine. We recommend that you take your scanner and adapters to an

authorized Nikon service representative once every one to two years for inspection, and once every three to

five years for servicing (a fee is charged for these services). Frequent inspection and servicing are particu-

larly recommended in the case of scanners used in commercial applications.

When not using the scanner, remove any adapters and close the cover to prevent dust from

accumulating inside the scanner. Accumulation of dust on the optical mirrors in the vicinity of the

adapter slot could result in scanning errors. Should an error occur, remove dust by sending air

into the adapter slot with a blower. Do not insert your fingers into the adapter slot.

Cleaning the Scanner

Before cleaning the scanner, turn it off and unplug the power cord. The front of the scanner is

made of plastic, and consequently cannot be cleaned with volatile cleaners such as alcohol or

paint thinner. Use a blower to blow off dust or wipe the surface with a dry cloth. Remove dirt

from the metal rear panel of the scanner using a soft, dry cloth. If this is not sufficient to

remove all dirt, clean with a cloth that has been slightly dampened with a neutral detergent or

liquid soap.

Transporting the Scanner

Follow the steps below to prepare the scanner for transport.

Remove any adapters and close the sliding cover.

Turn the scanner on.

Wait for the status LED on the front of the scanner to stop blinking.

Turn the scanner off.

Disconnect the power and interface cables.

After checking that no film remains in the adapters, package the scanner and adapters

in the original packing materials.

Nikon scanners are certified for use in the country or region of sale. Transportation and use

outside the country or region of sale are at the user’s own risk and responsibility.

Where the original packing materials are not available, package the scanner carefully in materi-

als at least as shock resistant as the originals.

Using a dry cotton swab or a swab that has been slightly dampened with water and wrung out,

remove dirt from the rollers while turning the toothed wheel slowly in either direction. Dry the

rollers with a dry cotton swab or leave the roller frame open until the rollers dry.

The roller frame should not be removed from the adapter. When opening the roller frame, stop

when you feel resistance. Forcing the frame open could result in damage to the adapter.

If the rollers inside the adapter are not clean, even film that is neither curled nor warped may jam

in the adapter several times in succession, possibly resulting in damage to the film. Should this

occur, you will need to clean the rollers. If the film continues to jam after the rollers have been

cleaned, consult with your nearest Nikon service representative.

Remove dust and dirt from the interior of the adapter with a blower. Clean the feed mecha-

nism thoroughly, changing the angle of the blower to reach all parts of the mechanism. Be

sure that dirt and dust do not remain on the adapter’s three sensors.

Caring for the FH-3 Film Holder

When cleaning the holder, do not use volatile cleaners such as alcohol or paint thinner. Use a

blower to remove dust. Clean dirt from the holder with a soft dry cloth, or dampen the cloth with

a neutral detergent to remove particularly stubborn stains, drying once cleaning is complete.

Caring for the MA-20 (S) Slide Mount Adapter

When cleaning the adapter, do not use volatile cleaners such as alcohol or paint thinner. Use a

blower to remove dust. Clean dirt from the adapter with a soft dry cloth, or dampen the cloth

with a neutral detergent to remove particularly stubborn stains, drying once cleaning is complete.
