2. Before Operation 2.1 Inspection Power cord (1) * The shape of the plug depends on the country of use. Inspect the package to see whether any damage has occurred during shipment. If there is any damage to the package, please contact our retailer directly and do not unpack the unit. SCSI cable (1) (50pin full pitch Dsub 25pin) 2.2 Accessories The following items are included with your LS-1000. When you open the package, check whether all the items are present.
2.3 Options 2.4 Notes on Use The LS-1000 has an optional auto slide feeder, the SF-100, which enables automatic feeding of mounted 35mm slides. • Don’t use a slide mount neither less than 1.1mm nor more than 3.0mm thick. If the slide mount is not flat on its surface, you may feel some roughness when mounting or unmounting the slide. • Don’t force the slide-mount or strip film holder into or out of the unit if it does not move smoothly.
2.5 Cleaning the Unit When carrying out routine maintenance and cleaning, ensure that no volatile liquids such as alcohol, benzine, or thinner come into contact with the LS-1000 as this may cause a failure, fire, or electric shock. Please observe the following points: • Before cleaning, always turn the power off, and pull out the power plug. • Since the front cover is made from plastic material, remove dust with a blower or a dry cloth.
3. Parts Identification Film Loading Slot: The film holder is inserted here. 3.1 Main Unit Option Connector: The SF-100 slide autofeeder is connected to this option connector. Front panel Status Display LED: Shows the scanner status. Ventilation Holes Power Switch: Power Switch Directly turns the AC power on/off. Ventilation Holes: Since air is drawn in through these holes, make sure that they are not blocked by other equipment.
Rear panel SCSI Connector: For SCSI cable connection. (No difference between IN and OUT.) SCSI ID Switch: Sets the SCSI ID number. Numbers 0 to 7 are shown and valid. AC Inlet: AC Inlet SCSI Connector 5 SCSI ID switch - 16 - Connect to the AC power source with the power cord provided.
3.2 Display LED The display LED is located on the front panel and shows the scanner status. Steady illumination: Lights when power is supplied (READY status). Blinking (about once every 1.5 seconds): Blinks slowly during operation (BUSY status). Also blinks when the power is switched on and during initialization. Fast blinking (about 5 times a second): Blinks fast when an error occurs either in the LS-1000 or in communication (ERROR status).
3.3 Strip Film Holder FH-2 This strip film holder can be used with a strip of film containing up to six images.
4. Connecting the LS-1000 For an IBM PC/AT or compatible in which an SCSI board has not been installed, install an SCSI board as explained in the manual supplied with the board. 4.1 When installing an SCSI board for the first time, be careful not to use the same number as used for another purpose such as an I/O address, interrupt number, or graphic board DMA channel. Before Connection Before connecting the cables, confirm that all devices, including the computer system and the LS-1000, are turned off.
4.2 Connecting the Power Cord • Before connecting the power cord, confirm that the unit’s power switch is in the off position. Insert the female end of the supplied power cord into the AC inlet located on the rear panel, then insert the plug into the AC power outlet. The power source must be grounded. • If possible, try to use an independent electric outlet.
4.3 Connecting the SCSI Cable Before connecting the SCSI cable, confirm that all SCSI devices, including the computer system, have been turned off. Connect the unit to the computer using the SCSI cable. After attaching the connector, be sure to lock it in place. You can connect the SCSI cable to either of the SCSI connectors on the rear panel of the unit.
If the unit is the only connected SCSI device, or if the unit is connected at the end of the SCSI chain, attach a terminator (terminal resistance) to the other SCSI connector. At this point, remove the terminator of the other SCSI device that has been placed between them. The terminator is not needed when the unit is connected between other SCSI devices. When SCSI devices are connected, connect them so as not to make a loop, and attach terminators to both ends of the SCSI chain.
SCSI Chain Connection with Other Devices If LS-1000 is connected between the other SCSI devices; If the LS-1000 is connected at the end of the SCSI chain; • Connect the 50-pin full pitch connector of the SCSI cable to the SCSI connector located on the rear panel of the Unit, and insert the other end to the SCSI connector of other SCSI device. • Connect the supplied terminator (terminal resistance) to the other SCSI connector on the rear panel of the Unit.
Remarks • The maximum number of SCSI devices that can be connected to one computer is eight. In the case of a host computer with a built-in SCSI hard disk or built-in CD-ROM, note that SCSI ID numbers have been pre-assigned for the host CPU and the SCSI devices. • Before installing an SCSI board, be sure to read the user’s manual provided with the board. The numbers for the I/O address, interrupt level (INT) and DMA channel might be used for other interface boards and peripheral devices.
Remarks 4.4 Setting the SCSI ID • To change the ID, confirm that the LS-1000 power is off. The ID cannot be changed when the power is on. The SCSI ID for the LS-1000 is set at “5” when the unit is shipped. If other SCSI devices are connected to your computer, make sure that the SCSI ID for the LS-1000 is different from those assigned to other SCSI devices.
Remarks 5. Operation 5.1 Turning on the Power • To turn the LS-1000 power off, turn the host computer off first, the other SCSI devices next, and the LS-1000 last (reverse order from switching on). Turn the LS-1000 on first, the other SCSI devices next, and the host computer last. • Once the power is turned off, please wait five seconds or more before turning the power on again. After turning the power on, the LED will begin to blink to indicate scanner initialization.
Insert the mounted slide lengthways until it touches the back inner wall. 5.2 Film Insertion The LS-1000 can scan different types of 35mm positive/negative monochrome/color images. In addition, it can scan a film strip of up to 6 images or single mounted film. Insertion of Mounted slides The LS-1000 can scan mounted slides as they are. • Confirm that the thickness of the mounted slides to be scanned is between 1.1mm and 3.0mm. • Ensure that the emulsion surface is facing in the proper direction.
The standard orientation of a mounted portrait or landscape slide is shown below. (If the top and bottom are reversed, modification is possible by using the software.
Insertion of Strip film Step 2 Insert the strip film into the attached film holder FH-2, and then insert the holder into the film slot of the front panel of the Unit. Place the strip film on the concave section which is fixed in the adaptor of the lower holder. Be sure to place the strip film so that the emulsion surface will be facing down (the shiny surface will be facing up). The direction is correct if the image number can be read. Step 1 Remove the adaptor snap and open the upper holder.
Step 3 Step 4 Align each image of the strip film with an aperture in the lower holder. Close the upper holder, aligning both ends of the upper holder and the lower holder. Fasten the snaps at both ends of the holder after securing the adaptor cover and fastening the adaptor's snap.
Step 5 Align the image to be read with either of the two apertures in the silver-colored adaptor. Insert the film holder in the film slot of the front panel in the LS1000, with placing the aperture through which the image is to be read toward the slot. The first image will be read. The film holder can be inserted into the LS-1000 from either end. Decide the insertion direction of the film holder according to which image is to be read. The second image will be read. The third image will be read.
Step 6 Remarks: Insert the film holder until it touches the back inside wall of the unit and the mark comes in alignment with the edge of film slot. • Do not forcefully insert the film holder. • Though the film holder is made of plastic, it will be damaged if film is forced into it. • Remove dust on the film or film holder with a blower or photographic brush.
• Have you installed software? For information on installing and operating software, refer to the software manual provided with the unit. 6. Troubleshooting If something unusual should occur, please check the following items before you assume that there is a unit failure. For more details, refer to the Troubleshooting section of the software manual. • Have you properly set the configuration, such as CONFIG.
