Nikon 35MM Film Scanner LS-10E - Manual (Page 34)

The guide rails mounting holes
The guide rails have a tapered end and a non-tapered
end. The tapered end is mounted at the rear of the
scanner. This faciiitates the scanner’s entry into the
drive bay siot. The non-tapered end mounts to the front
of the scanner. This flat end allows the scanner to be
locked into position once the scanner is installed.
Certain holes on the rails are elongated in the vertical
direction. This permits precise adjustment of the position
of the rails with respect to the scanner. The rails have a
set of horizontal holes that can be used to position the
rails forward or backward with respect to the scanner.
Attaching the guide rails to the scanner
There are several different styles of computers. It may
take several tries before the best combination of holes
are found on the scanner and rails for optimal mounting.
The face of the scanner has to fit flush with other
peripherals in the drive bays as well as the face of the
computer. In addition, the scanner must slide into the
drive bay without touching any other devices or the
drive bay. It should sit so that the cutout in the computer
front panel aligns with the face of the scanner.
The process of properly aligning the scanner into the
computer drive bay can take several attempt and some
patience. It is often easiest to eyeball the best holes
while holding the scanner and rails in front of the drive
bay. Choose the position that looks best. Then screw the
rails into the side of the scanner loosely and attempt to
push the scanner into the bay. If it fits, remove the
scanner, tighten the screws and continue on with the
installation. If not, move the rails with respect to the
scanner and try again until it fits.
Sliding the scanner into the drive bay
Before the scanner is inserted into the drive bay, insure
that the DIP switch block is set correctly. In rare cases,
it may be necessary to change the configuration of the
DIP switch block.
Never force the scanner into the drive bay. It should
have a snug fit, yet it should not be necessary to apply
excessive force when pushing in the scanner. If it does
not slide in easily, reposition the guide rails or visually
check the drive bay to see what might be blocking the
path of the scanner.
