Starting Nikon Scan
Before scanning, complete the following steps (see the scanner documentation for details):
• Install Nikon Scan
• Connect the power and interface cables
• Turn the scanner on and insert the adapter, and/or place fi lm in the fi lm holder
Nikon Scan can be used as a “stand-alone” application to scan, process, print, and save images, or it can be used to scan
images into a third-party application such as Adobe Photoshop, where the images can then be processed, printed, or saved.
The application in which images are displayed after scanning is known as the “host application.”
