Troubleshooting
Coolscan, engaging wire clips to cable connector. Restart scanner, waiting until the
indicator LED is a steady green, then properly insert film strip holder.
Problem: System won't start properly after scanner Is connected (see flashing
disk w/question mark).
Causes:
1) SCSI ID conflict.
2) Defective SCSI cable.
3) Improper SCSI termination.
Solutions:
1) Change SCSI ID to unused address.
2) Disconnect Coolscan, but leave SCSI cable connected to computer. If system still
fails to boot properly, cable is defective. Replace SCSI cable.
3) Termination should be at end of SCSI chain. If system appears to be properly
terminated, rearrange devices in SCSI chain until system boots correctly.
Problem: Lines or dark bands through image, scan is slow or crashes system.
Cause:
Memory management problems.
Solution:
Set Virtual Memory and File Sharing to OFF, set Disk Cache to mini­
mum (32k), and allocate 80% of available RAM to Photoshop or other host applica­
tion, with a minimum of 8Mb System RAM installed.
Problem: Scanning is too slow.
Cause:
Scan pitch setting may be non-integer number, or there may be a memory
management problem.
Solution:
Set pitch setting to an integer value. Check that File Sharing and Virtual
Memory are turned off, and that disk cache is set to 32k.
