Insert the Utilities and Documentation CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. 3. The CD-ROM will autolaunch on most systems. However, if your system does not support autolaunching CD-ROMs, from the Start button, choose RUN, type x:\driver\Setup.exe (x: the CD-ROM drive in use), and then choose OK. (See Figure 4-1,4-2) 4.
4.2 DOWNLOADING A PRINTER COLOR TABLE The SC-215 supports up to six color tables simultaneously and has the latest color tables already installed for the following printers: magicolor 2200/2210, magicolor 2200 DeskLaser, magicolor 6100/6110 , magicolor 3100, and magicolor 330. Note: The download utility distributed to the Japanese market excludes three of the six printer color tables.
5). Follow the instructions on the screen to complete installation of the Download Utility and importing all printer color table files to your PC. When all of these installation steps are finished, the SC-215 Download Utility screen pops up, as shown below. Fig. 4.
4.3 TO CUSTOMIZE COLOR TABLES ON SC-215 1). Choose Start>Programs> 3). SC-215 Download Utility> SC-215 Download Utility. The SC-215 Download Utility screen appears as below. If you attempt to load more than 6 color tables to the SC-215, the following warning message appears. Choose one printer model from the right side and click the "Delete" button to delete one table and free some memory. 4). 2).
5). Updating the SC-215’s firmware : When the status bar shows 100%, this means you have successfully downloaded the color table to the SC-215. 6). Connect the SC-215 to your printer and turn on the printer. 7). On the Control Panel of your SC-215, press the ”Menu” button until a printer model like MC2200 is visible. Press the Select key. Use the “ ” or ” ” button until the printer model that the SC215 will be connected to is visible. Press the Select key.
4.4 UNINSTALL THE SC-215 DRIVER You can uninstall the SC-215 driver by selecting Start>Programs>Minolta-QMS SC-215 and clicking the Uninstall driver icon from the SC-215 group.
5. SCANNER OPERATION & DOCUMENT PRINTING 1. Open your TWAIN scanning application. 2. Pull down the File menu and choose Select Source. If the Select Source command is not available in the File menu, see your application’s user’s guide to determine how the TWAIN link is used. A dialog box with a list of scanning sources appears. 3. Select SC-215/32Vx.xx. You need to select the source only once, unless you want to choose another scanner. 4.
6. Select the scanning method you want to use in the Scan Method drop-down menu. 7. Select the mode you want to use for your scans in the Image Type drop-down menu. 8. Select a scanning resolution in the Resolution drop-down menu. 9. Select the settings for the scanning features (for example, Sharpen, Descreen, etc.) that you want to use. 10. Click on the Preview or Scan button to preview or scan your document(s).
6. USER INTERFACE 6.1 SCAN METHOD Select how you want to scan in the Scan Method drop-down menu. Simplex/One-page—use this setting if you are using the automatic document feeder (ADF) to scan a single-page document at a time. Simplex /Multi-page—use this setting if you are using the automatic document feeder (ADF) to scan batches of single-page documents at a time. Flatbed—use this setting if you are using the flatbed to scan one page at a time.
6.2 DETERMINING YOUR RESOLUTION A good control of the resolution results in satisfactory detail of an image that scans. The resolution is measured by dots per inch (dpi). Normally, the greater the dpi number, the higher the resolution and the larger the image file size. Be aware that greater resolution takes more time, memory ,and disk space; therefore, up to a certain degree of dpi, the resolution will not visually be improved. On the contrary, it makes your files more unmanageable.
Tips: 1. For your information, an A4-size color image scanned at 300 dpi at True Color mode consumes approximately 25 MB of disk space. A higher resolution (over 600 dpi) is recommended only when you need to scan a small area at True Color mode. 2. You can also refer to the following table to choose a proper resolution for your image.
6.3 SELECTING A PROPER IMAGE TYPE Select the image type through the mode from the scanner user interface for your own purpose. Each image type is described as follows: Line art (Black and White) LineArt presents the image in black and white only, and there are no intermediate shades of gray in between. That means each pixel of the image is 100% black or 100% white. LineArt is the best choice of image type if you want to scan text, or a pen or ink drawing.
Halftone Halftone simulates gray scale by using different size dots. Particularly when you view the image at a certain distance, it looks very closely like a gray scale image, yet it consumes less disk space. Halftone is the picture that we usually see in newspapers or magazines. Since Halftone is one type of black and white image, the disk space required to save a halftone image is 1/24 of that required to save a 24-bit true color image.
8-Bit Gray A single-channel image consists of at least 256 shades of gray. An 8bit scanner produces a grayscale image with 1024 shades of gray between pure black and pure white. Choose this option if you are scanning black-and-white photographs. With 8 bits of color information per pixel, the file size of an image is eight times larger than a Black and White image and 1/3 the size of a 24-Bit Color image.
8-Bit Color A 8-Bit Color image provides 256 color hues in the image. The file size of a 256 color image is 1/3 the size of a 24-Bit Color image. 8-Bit Color Image 24-Bit Color A 24-Bit Color image consists of three 8-bit color channels. The red, green, and blue channels are mixed together to create a combination of one billion colors which give a more true-to-life quality to the image. Choose 24-Bit Color if you are scanning color photos.
6.4 ENHANCING YOUR IMAGE Brightness: Adjusts the lightness or darkness of an image. The higher the value, the brighter the image.
6.5 CONTRAST Adjusts the range between the darkest and the lightest shades in the image. The higher the contrast, the bigger the different gray scales.
6.6 INVERT IMAGE The invert command reverses the brightness and the color in the image. For color images, each pixel will be changed into its complementary color .
6.7 MIRROR Click on the Mirror button to reverse the image (create a mirror image).
6.8 PREVIEW AUTO-AREA Clicking on the Preview Auto-Area button automatically crops the preview scan area to the previewed document. This will then be the cropping area for all of the scanned documents. 6.9 PAPER SIZE Select a size on the Paper Size list of frequently used scan sizes to perform an immediate selection of your scan size. 6.10 UNITS The Units button indicates the measuring system that is in use (Inch, cm, or Pixel).
6.11 DESCREEN Click on the Descreen button to access a drop-down menu that allows you to specify the type of document you are scanning in order to eliminate the moiré pattern* commonly found in printed matter. You can specify Newspaper, Magazine, or Catalog. Before Descreen After Descreen *Moiré pattern—an undesirable pattern resulting from the incorrect screen angle of the overprinting halftone. 6.

Click on the Color Drop-out button to access a dialog box that allows you to choose to remove the R (Red), G (Green), or B (Blue) color channel while scanning. For example, if your image contains red text or a red background, choose R channel (red) to remove the red text or red background. This feature is applicable only for black-and-white and grayscale images.

9. TROUBLESHOOTING If you have any operational problem, please refer to the following troubleshooting hints. 9.1 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Question: Why does the scanned image always come out to be too dark? Answer: 1) Modify the Gamma setting to 1.8 for your monitor and, when printing, set Gamma to 2.2 for your printer. 2) Use the Brightness setting of the TWAIN user interface to get a brighter image. Question: The printer does not print the documents.
Question: Why do not some parallel port devices work with the SC-215? Answer: The SC-215 does support pass-through printing, but the pass-through printing may not work if you connect the parallel port with devices other than printer. Therefore, if you would like to connect some parallel port devices other than printer, please do not connect them to the same parallel port that the SC-215 currently uses. It is suggested that you use other parallel ports to connect these devices.
