Nikon LS-2000 35 mm Film Scanner User’s Guide
1. Overview
Thank you for your purchase of a Nikon LS-2000 scanner for 35
mm film. The LS-2000 is a high-speed, high-resolution scanner
capable of producing images suited to a wide variety of tasks,
including desk-top publishing, design, and multi-media publishing.
Its modular design allows you to change from scanning 35 mm
slides to scanning 35 mm strip film “on the fly,” while optional
adapters are available for scanning IX240 film and multiple con-
secutive slides. The LS-2000 uses a high-speed SCSI interface for
connection to computers running Mac OS System Software 7.1 or
later, Windows 95 or later, or Windows NT 4.0 or later.
The scanner driver software provided with your scanner, Nikon Scan
2.0, offers sophisticated pre-scan editing of images, including
precise color correction, contrast, and brightness adjustment. Nikon
Scan can be launched from any TWAIN-compliant application
under Windows or in any application that supports Adobe Photoshop
plug-ins (version 2.0 or higher) on the Macintosh. Nikon Scan can
also be used as a “stand-alone” application, allowing you to save
scanned images to disk without the help of another application.
The user’s manuals for the LS-2000 and Nikon Scan are divided
into three parts. This User’s Guide offers a brief introduction to
setting up the scanner and scanning images using Nikon Scan.
More detailed reference manuals for the scanner and for Nikon Scan
are provided on CD-ROM. To read these manuals you will need to
install the Adobe Acrobat Reader software included on the refer-
ence CD. In addition, a one-page Fast Track Guide is provided for
experienced users who want to get started with the minimum of
instruction. Where appropriate, this guide will refer readers to the
reference manuals or Fast Track Guide for more information.
References to the manuals on CD are indicated by a icon in the
margin, references to the Fast Track Guide by a icon.
