Nikon Scanner Plug-in Software
Coolscan is bundled with two scanning software programs and one utility pro­
gram. The first, Nikon Scanner plug-in software, allows Coolscan to operate within a
wide variety of Nikon and third-party software applications for the Windows operating
system. The second program, Coolscan Control software, is a stand-alone application
that makes use of the Nikon Scanner plug-in in the same way that third-party software
applications do. The utility software, Eject.EXE, enables you to eject a slide from within
the Program Manager or Windows’ File Manager. All three programs are on the sup­
plied distribution diskette Nikon Scanning Software for Windows, seen in Figure 5.1.

The Nikon Scanner plug-in software must be used in conjunction with another
software application. It is called a plug-in because it ‘plugs in’ to a number of software
applications such as Nikon Image^cci'i'r, Micrografx Picture Publisher and Adobe
Photoshop/PC. The Nikon Scanner plug-in software user interface remains the same
across these and most other popular imaging applications. This allows you to scan from
within different applications as desired, even crossing over from the PC to the
Macintosh, without having to learn a new scanner software interface. Use of the Nikon
Scanner plug-in is explained in detail in the Coolscan User’s Guide for Windows.
Coolscan Control Software
Coolscan is bundled with a stand-alone application called Coolscan Control. If
you would rather not scan from within another application progtam, such as
Photoshop/PC, Coolscan Control is an easy-to-use application. Use of Coolscan
Control is explained in detail in the Coolscan User’s Guide for Windows.
Eject.EXE Software
Eject.EXE is a simple software application for ejecting the slide inserted in
