- 27 - Using the Scanner: Turning the Scanner On
Using the Scanner
This chapter covers basic scanner operations, from turning the
scanner on to replacing adapters and inserting and removing
film. Actual scanning is outlined in the User’s Guide and de-
scribed in more detail in the software reference manuals.
Turning the Scanner On
Before turning on your computer, turn on the scanner and any
other peripheral devices. The scanner is on when the end of
the power switch labeled “1” is down.
When the scanner is turned on, the status LED will blink while
the scanner initializes. Initialization is complete when the LED
glows steadily. Once initialization has completed, turn on any
other peripheral devices and then start the computer.
Inserting and Removing Adapters
The LS-30 uses a variety of adapters to scan different types of
film. Adapters are provided for scanning single 35 mm slide
mounts and 35 mm film in strips of from two to six frames. An
adapter for scanning IX240 film is available for separate pur-
chase.
Any of these adapters can be mounted on the scanner while
the scanner is on and connected to a computer. To mount an
adapter, check that the status LED is glowing steadily. Adapters
can not be inserted or removed while the status LED is blinking.
Open the scanner’s front cover and slide the adapter in as
shown below, stopping when the adapter is firmly in place.
(The illustration above shows the slide adapter. The direction
of insertion for other adapters is shown below.)
