SCSI Connector

Power Connector

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.
Terminator Connect SCSI devices in a chain, and attach terminators to both ends of the chain. Since the terminator is built into the host computer in most cases, the host computer should be at the end of the SCSI chain. The operation manuals of some notebook computers require a terminator to be attached outside the computer; please refer to the operation manual for the computer to which the unit is connected. Note: The SCSI cable used for SCSI connection should be of highimpedance type. - 23 5
SCSI Chain Connection with Other Devices
If Scanner 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.
If Scanner is connected between the other SCSI devices: Connect the 50-pin full pitch connector of the SCSI cable to the SCSI connector located on the rear of the unit, and insert the other end to the SCSI connector of other SCSI device. Connect the other SCSI device by using the other SCSI connector on the rear panel of the unit. Connect the supplied terminator (terminal resistance) to the SCSI device connected at the end of SCSI chain.

Terminator

- 24 -
Remarks The maximum number of SCSI devices that can be connected to one computer is eight including the CPU. When using with 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. The SCSI cable must not be extended beyond a total length of 19 feet (6 meters), or else failure may result. If you use the type of terminator that is inserted between the SCSI cable and SCSI interface connector, install a terminator independent of the other SCSI connector of the COOLSCAN II.

Terminators must be attached to the devices located at both ends of the SCSI chain. If the host computer is a Macintosh, the Macintosh itself will provide termination at one end of the chain. If the host computer is an IBM PC/AT or compatible, equipped with a SCSI board, the SCSI board itself will present termination at one end of the chain. Note that when a SCSI chain connection is made inside a computer, the end of the SCSI device inside the computer will become the end terminal. Before installing a SCSI board, be sure to read the users manual provided with the board. The numbers for the I/O address, interrupt level (INT) and DMA channel might conflict with other interface boards and peripheral devices. If so, change them as explained in the manual.

- 25 -

4.4 Setting the SCSI ID
The SCSI ID for the COOLSCAN II 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 COOLSCAN II is different from those assigned to other SCSI devices.
Remarks To change the ID, confirm that the COOLSCAN II power is off. The ID cannot be changed when the power is on. As 7 has been assigned for the CPU and 0 has been assigned to the built-in hard disk for a Macintosh, and 0 and 7 have also been assigned to other personal computer systems, any number from 1 to 6 is recommended for the ID number. If conflicting ID numbers are assigned, the system might not function, or important data on the hard disk might be destroyed. It is therefore essential to check the ID numbers carefully before connecting the COOLSCAN II.
Note that in the case of a host computer which has a built-in SCSI hard disk or built-in CD-ROM, the ID numbers of the host CPU and each SCSI device have already been assigned. If the IDs are the same, you must change the ID number of the other SCSI device or the ID of the COOLSCAN II to avoid any conflict.

5. Setting Up the Internal-mount Model
The internal-mount scanner is easy to install, following the procedure described below.

Rear panel

The rear panel of the internal-mount scanner is shown below. The rear panel contains the DC power connector, SCSI connector, and configuration DIP switch block.

5.1 Before Installing

The internal-mount scanner is shown below. Note that the front of the internal-mount model is identical to that of the standard model.

Front panel

The front of the scanner includes the film slot and the status display LED.

Configuration DIP switch

The default DIP switch configuration is shown in Table 5.1. The meaning of the SCSI ID DIP switch is explained later. The internal-mount scanner is set at the factory to SCSI ID #5. DIP Switch Default Usage 1 Closed SCSI ID bit 0 = Open SCSI ID bit 1 = Closed SCSI ID bit 2 = (Not used) Table 5.1 Factory set default DIP switch configuration

Both sides of the internal-mount scanner are identical as shown 5.2 Installing the Internal-mount Model below. Note the set of two tapped holes on each side. One set of holes on each side of the scanner will be used for the rails To install the internal-mount scanner, first screw the guide rails as shown in this figure. provided with the scanner to the two sides of the scanner, then insert the scanner into the drive bay using the computer drive Locking tab Guide rail Mounting holes bay slots. Connections to the back of the scanner include the computer power and the SCSI flat cable. Due to the tight space constraints inside the computer, it is not possible to connect the cables to the scanner after it has been installed. The SCSI cable and terminating networks are easier to connect to the scanner before it is mounted in the drive bay. The computer power connector is easily connected to the scanner when the scanner is partially inserted into the drive bay.

Installing the guide rails
Different computers have their own special requirements for mounting devices in an internal drive bay. In most cases, a pair of guide rails are screwed to the sides of the scanner to enable it to be slid into the drive bay. These guide rails are also used to lock the scanner in place.

The computer drive bays

In order for a scanner to be mounted inside the computer, the computer must have the following: 1. An externally accessible 5 1/4" half-height bay 2. A standard power supply connector 3. A card slot available on the motherboard

The guide rail 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 to facilitate the scanners insertion into the drive bay slot. The non-tapered end is mounted at 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 vertically, allowing 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.
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. On no account 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.

- 30 -

Installing the internal-mount scanner in the drive bay
Step 1Connect the SCSI cable to the scanner Connect one end of the flat 50-pin SCSI cable to the 50-pin SCSI connector on the rear of the internal-mount scanner as shown below. Insure that Pin 1 of the cable is aligned with Pin 1 of the scanner.
The connectors on both the scanner and the cable are protected with a protruding tab to force the connector to mount properly. Note that Pin 1 on the scanner connector and the cable connector is marked with a triangle, and the wire associated with Pin 1 has a red stripe on it. Do not force the cable connector into the scanner. It should snap into place with moderate force. Make sure that the connector on the cable is positioned parallel to the connector on the scanner before applying force. This will reduce the risk of bending any pins. Warning! Make sure that Pin 1 marked on the scanner connector mates with Pin 1 of the flat cable connector. Step 2Terminating the SCSI chain The internal-mount scanner needs SCSI termination. Refer to 5.4 Terminating the SCSI chain in this chapter for more information. Step 3Loosen the lock down screws On one or both sides of the drive bay opening are locking screws. These may be positioned so that they block the access to the openings in the drive bay where the rails will slide in. Loosen these screws so that the metal tab does not block access to the openings. It may be necessary to remove these tabs. Keep them handy because they will be repositioned in Step 8 below.

Step 4Feed the computer power connector Feed the computer power 4-pin connector, through the drive bay from the inside as far as it will extend out through the drive bay. Connect the cords with each 12V DC or 5V DC connector. Computer power connector (Typical connector on four wire cable)
Note: When you establish a ground, connect a grounding cable (not provided) to the GND screw.

Step 5Slide the scanner part way into the drive bay Thread the unconnected end of the 50-pin SCSI cable through the drive bay and pull it through into the inside of the computer while sliding the scanner rear-first into the drive bay. The scanner should slide in easily if the rails are properly positioned. Push the scanner in so that the rear of the scanner aligns with the computer power connector. Y-Adapter power connector (Optional Y-type power connector) Warning! The top or bottom of the scanner should not touch anything when sliding into the computer. Damage can occur to the scanner or to other devices if the scanner scrapes during installation.

- 32 -

Step 6Connect the power connector Connect the 4-pin power connector of the computer to the 4pin power connector of the scanner. Note that both connectors are keyed so that one side of the connector is beveled. Be careful to insure that the beveled edges are properly aligned. Under certain circumstances, it is possible to force the connector in at an improper angle, thereby creating a reversed connection. Extreme damage can occur to the scanner should this happen. Make sure that the connection is correct. Note: An optional Y-adapter may be necessary if there are no available power connectors in the computer. Warning! Do not attempt to connect power to the scanner with the computer power on. Step 7Slide the scanner into the computer Once the power connection is made, carefully slide the scanner the rest of the way into the computer. Pull gently on the SCSI cable with one hand to provide slight tension on the cable while the scanner is being pushed in. Do not tug on the cable or allow the cable to fold while pushing in the scanner. Step 8Screw down the rail stops Once the scanner has been pushed into the computer, reposition or reinsert the lock tabs mentioned in Step 3 above. The tabs should slide in front of the scanner guide rails, thereby locking the scanner in place.

5.3 Setting the SCSI ID

Up to eight devices can share a SCSI host. These are each identified by SCSI ID numbers. Thus, a SCSI ID can have a value between 0 and 7. There are no implicit regulations regarding the use of these numbers. Typically, the computer itself would be SCSI ID number 7, while the SCSI peripherals would be 0 through 6. A minimum of two devices must be connected to any SCSI bus. In this case, one is designated as the initiator while the other is the target. It is possible to have many configurations of initiators and targets on a bus. More than one initiator can be present on a SCSI bus. The typical configuration is one initiator and one or more targets. The internal-mount scanner is always a target. In the case we show below, the only initiator is the computer. The SCSI ID is typically set by a switch on the rear of the SCSI peripherals. The default SCSI ID number set at the factory is ID #5.

The SCSI chain is an electrical bus connecting two or more devices. It is critical that this bus be correctly terminated for the SCSI peripherals to work properly. Termination is an electronics term that applies to the impedance found at both ends of the bus. The electrical signals on the SCSI bus are changing rapidly between their digital on and off states. To minimize noise, a terminator is placed on each end of the bus. The effects of this termination may be subtle, but are critical to the correct operation of the scanner on bus. Typically, the computer is located at one end of the SCSI bus. Assuming this is the case, the SCSI controller in the computer has to be terminated. Warning! Incorrect SCSI termination can cause unpredictable errors. If one other SCSI peripheral shares this SCSI bus, it also has to be terminated. If additional SCSI devices are connected to the bus between the two end SCSI devices, these devices can NOT be terminated. Only two terminated devices can reside on the SCSI bus, one at each end. Improperly terminated SCSI peripherals can fail immediately or may work correctly for a period of time before generating their first errors.
Terminating the Internal-mount Scanner
If the LS-20 is at the end of the chain, attach the provided SCSI terminator as described below. The SCSI terminator is usually inserted between the SCSI connector on the LS-20 and the provided SCSI flat cable, as shown below.
Insert terminator between these connectors

- 36 -

Remarks When connecting the terminator to the scanner, insert it straight, and correctly aligned with the locator key, taking care not to bend the pins. When removing the terminator from the scanner, pull it straight out, taking care not to bend the pins.
5.5 SCSI Cables Used with Internal Scanners
The internal SCSI cable is a 50-pin flat cable with two identical molded connectors on each end. One end of this cable will connect to the SCSI controller while the other end will connect If there is not enough space to connect the terminator directory to the connector on the rear of the internal-mount scanner. A typical SCSI internal cable is shown below. to the LS-20, the SCSI connector on the LS-20 should be attached to the connector stamped in the center of a daisySCSI flat cable chaining flat cable (not provided), and the provided SCSI terminator should be attached to the unconnected stamped connector at one end of this cable.

4.6 Crop/Preview Area Buttons
The preview image acquired after clicking the Preview button is displayed in the crop/preview area.

Orientation

Clicking this button changes the entire preview area display (including any existing crop marquis) from portrait to landscape orientation. The illustration on the button changes according to the display orientation.
Using the five buttons below the preview area, the image displayed by the preview operation can be rotated to landscape or portrait orientation, flipped vertically or horizontally, and enlarged or reduced. Using the appropriate combination of these buttons will streamline the cropping process.

- 20 -

Clicking this button changes the entire preview area display (including any existing crop marquis) from landscape to portrait orientation. The illustration on the button changes according to the display orientation.
The entire preview area display (including any existing crop marquis) is flipped horizontally by clicking this button.
The entire preview area display (including any existing crop marquis) is flipped vertically by clicking this button.

- 21 -

When the original image is flipped horizontally or vertically, the corresponding Flip button appears to have been pressed, and will remain in a depressed position, as shown below. Clicking the button again restores its original appearance.

When the Zoom-in button is clicked, the crop area fills the entire Preview area. After a zoom-in operation, the original display is restored by clicking the Zoomout button.
If Zoom-in or Zoom-out functions are unavailable (e.g. when the minimum or maximum image size is shown), the appropriate button is dimmed (inactive) and cannot be clicked.

- 22 -

4.7 Cropping
You can use your cursor in the crop/preview area, to set up a new crop, or to move or change the size of the current crop area.
Note: For reasons involving the compression and display of the preview image, there may be a slight difference between the crop area specified on the screen and the area that is actually scanned. When cropping an image, allow sufficient safety margin to ensure that important elements are not cropped out.

Establishing a New Crop

After the preview image is displayed, locate the cursor at any starting point on the preview (the top left is shown in the example), and then drag the cursor to another location (bottom right in the example), thus forming a rectangle, which is referred to as a marquis of marching ants. Note: Dragging means moving the mouse while holding the mouse button down.
The entire preview area can be re-selected by double-clicking anywhere in the preview window, or by choosing Select All ( A). - 23 -

Moving the Crop Area

To change the position of the crop rectangle, simply locate the cursor so that it is inside the frame and then drag the frame to the desired position.
Changing the Size of the Crop Area
To change the size of the crop area, drag a side or corner of the crop frame. When a side is dragged, the area will change only in the vertical or horizontal direction. When a corner is dragged, the size of the area will change both vertically and horizontally. Note the type of cursor used for each change.

- 24 -

4.8 Crop Size Control
These controls let you set the output size, output resolution, and scale.

Dimensions

The scanned output size can be specified by entering width and height values. If an unacceptable value is entered, it will be displayed in red. When the size is changed by cropping the Preview, the numbers displayed in the size value edit boxes will also change at the same time.

Modifying the size of the crop rectangle while the width and height aspect ratio is locked, will change the Scale value, not the final output width and height values.

- 27 -

4.9 Autofocus (film scanners only)
The focus of the image can be adjusted by clicking the Autofocus button shown below (this button is not displayed when an AX-110 or AX-210 flatbed scanner is selected).
You can cancel the focus position cursor by clicking the Return to crop button.
You can choose a location in the image as the focus position by clicking this button while simultaneously holding down the option key. If you click the Autofocus button without specifying a focus position, the autofocus position chosen will be the center of the image.

Focus Position Cursor

4.10 Adjust Focus (film scanners only)
This function allows you to adjust focus to compensate for warping of the film or for differences in the thickness of slide mounts. To use the Adjust Focus function, choose Adjust Focus from the Special Capabilities submenu located on the pull-down menu at the top left corner of the Main dialog box (the Special Capabilities menu for the AX-110 and AX-210 does not include the Autofocus function).
When Adjust Focus is chosen from the Special Capabilities submenu, the following dialog box appears.
Drag the slider or input the desired value, then click the OK button. Note: The values shown at the ends of the slider bar will vary depending on the autofocus position and the scanner model. The autofocus position always has a value of zero.
Note: The menu for the LS-4500AF differs from that shown above. See Appendix B.

- 29 -

4.11 Autoexposure
The Autoexposure function can be used to perform a prescan after a preview operation has been completed. If you click the Preview button when the Prescan check box is turned off or while holding down the option key, the prescan operation will be skipped. In this case, you can carry out a prescan operation after preview by selecting Autoexposure from the Special Capabilities submenu.
Note: The pop-up menu shown above is for the LS-1000. The corresponding pop-up menus for the LS-4500AF and for the AX-110 and AX-210 are different. Please see the appendix appropriate to the scanner you using. The prescanning operation begins immediately on your selecting the Autoexposure function from the Special Capabilities submenu.

5. Image Compensation
This chapter explains how to adjust continuous tone brightness, line art threshold, contrast, and color balance. All these settings are made using buttons or text edit boxes. The results of compensation can be checked with a preview scan. The appearance of the Main dialog box depends on the Media Type setting, as shown below.

- 32 -

5.4 Level display
RGB values or CMY percentages at the cursor position are displayed while the cursor is over the crop/preview area. The values can be switched between absolute RGB pixel values (in 8-bit level equivalent) and CMY percentages, by clicking within the boundary surrounding the density display area. For grayscale images, the L (luminance in 8-bit level equivalence) or K (the black density percentage) value at the cursor position is displayed.

- 33 -

6. Gamma Curves
Selective gamma curve editing is essential for the highest-quality scanning. In many cases, the factory default gamma curves will yield excellent results. These default gamma curves are well suited to the widest variety of original media. However, under certain circumstances, you may want to use other gamma curves.
6.1 Viewing the Gamma Curves
When the Media Type is Color, four gamma curves are displayed.

- 34 -

When the Media Type is Grayscale, only one gamma curve is displayed.
When the Media Type is set to Color, you can edit one master curve and three primary curves, i.e., for Red, Green, and Blue. When the Media Type is set to Grayscale, you can edit a grayscale curve only. Each of the Red, Green and Blue gamma curves is unique. The master curve provides a simple means of adjusting all of the primary curves equally. Thus, you do not have to adjust each primary curve individually. This two-dimensional graph represents the input/output transfer function. The horizontal axis represents the input, or original values. The vertical axis represents the output, or new values. A diagonal line connecting the lower-left and upper-right corners would represent a linear transfer function. For example, an input value of 100 would produce an output value of 100. Similarly, an input value of 200 would produce an output value of 200, and so on. A horizontal line running along the bottom border would map all inputs into a zero output, consequently creating a black image. A line beginning at the top left corner, and ending in the bottom right corner, would produce a negative image.

- 35 -

6.2 Viewing the Histogram
At times it may be useful to view the histogram of the preview image. A histogram is a statistical representation of the densities in an image. A histogram will be displayed when the Histogram button is clicked and held. This control is active when either Grayscale or Color is selected as the Media Type in the Main dialog box.
The histograms horizontal axis represents the pixel intensity or brightness, the darker values appearing on the left and the lighter values on the right. The vertical axis is a statistical representation of the number of occurrences of each pixel value over the entire image. The histogram therefore represents a graphical and statistical view of the overall brightness an image.
The histogram will be displayed as long as the button is held down.

After the Black Point button is clicked, position the mouse cursor over the image in the preview window and select a pixel value to be used as the darkest point in the image. Watch the Pixel Value display closely as you move the cursor across the image to enable you to choose the right value to modify. If you are unsure, then zoom in on the area of interest to enhance the detail and increase the accuracy of your selection.
Black point cursor The pixel you select will be mapped to the new Black Point, or reference point for maximum black (often called dmax, for maximum density). When the Black Point is selected, the active gamma curve is automatically adjusted to reflect this selection. This tool can be used with any gamma curve, although it is most effective when used with the master gamma curve, as it provides a neutral black point, which is normal for many images.

- 39 -

When you decide on the pixel you want to use as the Black Point of the image, clicking the mouse forces the gamma curves to use this value as the minimum value in the preview window. Any pixels darker than the black point will be set to the minimum value. The result of this new curve is approximated in the preview window. Observe the increase in contrast, and also the reduced White Point, covered in the next section.

Setting the White Point

The White Point represents the lightest point in the image, thus providing a function opposite to that of the Black Point. Like the Black Point, however, selection of a White Point reduces the tonal range of the scanner so as not to waste any of its tonal range on light areas that are not actually present in the original. The White Point is typically selected so that all values in the image that are lighter than this point can be mapped, or converted to white without affecting the quality of the image. To set the White Point, click the White Point button.
New black point The Black Point cursor can be restored to its cropping state, from the eyedropper state, by clicking the Return to Crop button.

- 40 -

After the White Point button is clicked, position the mouse cursor over the image in the preview window and select a pixel value to be used as the lightest point in the image. Watch the Pixel Value display closely as you move the cursor across the image to enable you to choose the right value to modify. If you are unsure, then zoom in on the area of interest to enhance the detail and increase the accuracy of your selection. White point cursor
When you decide on the pixel you want to use as the White Point of the image, clicking the mouse forces the gamma curves to use this value as the maximum value in the preview window. Any pixels lighter than the White Point will be set to the maximum value. The result of this new curve is approximated in the preview window. New white point

The pixel you select will be mapped to the new White Point, or reference point for maximum lightness (often called dmin, for minimum density).

- 41 -

Automatic Contrast Adjustment
If you prefer, the Nikon Scan plug-in is capable of selecting optimal neutral Black and White Points for you. The Automatic Contrast Adjustment control in the plug-in will usually produce excellent results. Simply click the Contrast Adjust button.
The software will analyze the portion of the preview image contained within the cropped region of the preview and automatically select an optimum Black Point and White Point. The active gamma curves will be modified automatically. Note that this may sometimes lead to undesirable color balance. If for example, the original image is of a predominantly warm-toned scene, such as a sunset, then the neutral highlight produced by Autocontrast, or the White point eyedropper, would be too cold for the subject matter of the image.
