Scanning modes The digitized images can contain up to 4000 dpi (dots per inch) of image information. Color is achieved with a tri-color CCD in combination with a cold cathode fluorescent light source. Two modes are available: • 8-bit mode: Each dot can be represented by an 8-bit RGB code per color, resulting in 256 levels of gray, or 16.7 million colors. The original is scanned at 12-bits per channel, and the results are optimized to 8-bits per channel to produce a 24-bit RGB image. • 12-bit mo

Positioning the scanner Place the scanner on a flat, stable surface, free of vibration. Leave at least 2 inches (50mm) of space around all sides and the top of the scanner for adequate ventilation, and leave room at the back to reach the power switch on the rear panel. Caution: As with any highly sensitive optical equipment, vibrations or bumping the scanner during use may result in picture defects. Locate the unit where it will not be disturbed during use.

The SprintScan 45 scanner is unterminated. If it is the last device in the chain, add a terminator. See the illustrations on pages 2-9–2-10. Powerbook note: According to Apple Computer, even though this computer has an internal hard disk, you should treat it as an unterminated device. This means that you must have two terminators on the SCSI chain. Apple also advises that if you have only one device connected to a Powerbook, you must have two terminators on this one device. Refer to the documen

SCSI ID numbers WARNING: TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO YOUR HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE, READ THIS SECTION BEFORE TURNING ON YOUR SYSTEM. Each device on a SCSI chain must have a unique SCSI ID number from 0 to 6. The Apple Macintosh always uses SCSI ID number 7. The Macintosh internal hard drive usually uses SCSI ID number 0 or 1. The SprintScan 45 scanner is set at the factory to SCSI ID number 5. If this number con- flicts with your hard drive or any other device on your SCSI chain, you must change either t

Installing a SCSI adapter in a PC If you are using a PC-compatible computer, you must have a SCSI host adapter installed in your computer for connection to the scanner. We recommend an Adaptec SCSI host adapter. Before connection, be sure the settings are correct; check the documentation for your adapter. The SprintScan 45 scanner is compatible with most Windows ASPI-supported adapters (such as Adaptec). For detailed information about installing the card, refer to the instructions provided wit

The second port (25-pin) can be used to connect another SCSI device to the chain, using another SCSI cable. 3 Terminate the signal at the last device in the chain. If the scan- ner is the last device, connect the terminator provided to the 50-pin port. Then connect the SCSI cable to the terminator (picture 3). Be certain to use only SCSI-specified cables for all connections in the chain. For details, see pages 2-8–2-9. 3 The diagrams on the following pages will serve as a reference to correct S

Diagrams of various SCSI configurations The following diagrams illustrate different configurations. Find the appropriate configuration for your hardware, and follow the connection diagram and instructions. Note: The shorter the SCSI chain, the better it will work. Use SCSI cables that are only as long as necessary. The chain may 1 not exceed 19 /2 ft. (6m) total. Scanner is the only SCSI device The hard disk of the computer is internally terminated. Therefore, you need to add the terminator to

Scanner and another unterminated device Place the scanner at the end of the chain and use the termina- tor provided. Do not add any additional terminators. If one external device has an internal terminator, see the previous example. Use only approved SCSI cables. Tu rning on the scanner 1 With the scanner off, plug the power cord provided into the scanner (picture 4), and then into an appropriate grounded outlet. The scanner can operate over a voltage range from 100 to 240 VAC. 2 Turn on the sc
