Description
The version 1.40 Firmware downloader includes a fix allowing the yellow status
lamp at the top of the SprintScan 4000 to work as described in the documentation.
The APS film adapter instructions and the SprintScan 4000 Installation Guide both
show that the yellow lamp should go out when the APS adapter or a filmholder is
inserted into the scanner. When the lamp goes out, this is an indication to the user
that they should let go of the APS adapter or filmholder. If you are using an earlier
version of the Firmware, the lamp will not go out when the adapter or holder are inserted.
In addition to the Firmware fix, all previous Firmware upgrades have been incorporated
in this release.
Note to APS adapter users:
After upgrading the firmware, insert the APS adapter into the
scanner. When the yellow lamp on the top of the scanner goes out,
let go of the adapter and let the scanner pull it inside. Close and
lock the scanner front door in the up position. Begin scanning after
the yellow lamp is on steady.
Who should use this upgrade
If your scanner has version 1.30 Firmware installed and you do not
use the APS adapter you do not have to install this update.
If your scanner has Firmware 1.29 or earlier, you should install
version 1.40.
