Chapter 2 Setting Up Coolscan
Setting Up Coolscan
This chapter will introduce you to the main components of the LS-10 and LS-
lOE models, proper placement of the LS-lOE, safely transporting yout scanner, and pre­
cautions for safe operation.
The Front Panel
Let’s take a look at Coolscan’s front panel, as shown in Figure 2.1. The uncom­
plicated design of the front panel is indicative of how simple Coolscan is to use. Note
that the front panel of the LS-10 and LS-lOE is identical. The front panel consists of
the film slot, focus wheel, and powerlbusy!error indicator light.

Film Slot
The film slot is the opening into which you insert your slides or film strips (using
the enclosed film strip holder) for scanning. Slides and film strips are likewise ejected
from the film slot.
A high degree of care must be exercised with the film slot. Since this opening
allows the film to enter the scanner, it thus provides access to its delicate instrumenta­
tion.
Never insert any object into the film slot, other than mounted film or the provided
film strip holder. Flammable materials, metals, water, etc., will cause fire, electri­
cal shock and damage to the unit.
