3. Setup
This chapter takes you step-by-step through the process of setting up the LS-2000 and installing Nikon Scan.

Setting up the LS-2000

This section outlines the steps involved in connecting the LS-2000 to a computer. Before using your scanner, you will need to complete the following steps: select a suitable location for the scanner remove the transport locking screws connect the power and SCSI cables set the SCSI ID Step 1Choose a location for the scanner Before connecting the LS-2000 to your computer, choose a flat, stable location for it, free from vibration and dust. Do not install your scanner where: it would be exposed to direct or reflected sunlight it would be subject to condensation or drastic changes in temperature it would be subject to radio interference from other electronic devices the temperature exceeds 35C (95F) or falls below 10C (50F) other objects would block the scanners vents
The scanner has feet both on its base and on one side, making it possible to place the scanner either on its base or on its side. When installing the scanner, leave enough space free for ease of operation. There should be at least 5 cm (2) of space above the unit, and 10 cm (4) behind. Space requirements are illustrated below. When installing the scanner on its base
Caution: The scanner must be installed with the feet down, as shown in the illustrations on these pages. Do not store or operate the scanner in any other orientation.
When installing the scanner on its side
Step 2Remove the transport locking screws Once the scanner is installed, slide the front cover open. Using a coin, remove the transport locking screws from the adapter slot and side panel and screw them into the holes provided on the rear panel. The adapter slot contains a guard to prevent the transport screw from falling into the scan mechanism when the transport screw is removed. After removing the transport screw from the adapter slot and screwing it into one of the holes on the rear of the scanner, remove the guard and store it in a safe place. Caution: Never turn the scanner on with the locking screws in place. Turning the power on in these circumstances could damage the scanner. Note: Replace the locking screws and guard when transporting the scanner (see the LS-2000 Reference Manual).
Step 3Connect the power cable Before connecting the power cable, confirm that the scanner is off and that the transport locking screws have been removed from the side of the scanner and adapter slot. The scanner is off when the end of the power switch marked 0 is down.

Power switch off

Attach the female end of the power cable to the AC connector on the rear of the scanner and insert the male end into a generalpurpose household outlet. Safety Precautions Use an AC power supply of 50/60Hz and a voltage of from 100V240V. Be sure to use a power cord rated for the appropriate voltage. At voltages of more than AC 125V: use a power cord that complies with the safety standards of the country in which it is used, which has a plug rated for AC 250V, 15A (NEMA 6P-15) and insulation of SVT type or better, and which is more than AWG18 in thickness. At voltages of AC 125V or less: use a power cord that complies with the safety standards of the country in which it is used, which has a plug rated for AC 125V, 10A and insulation of SVT type or better, and which is more than AWG18 in thickness. Do not damage or modify the power cable. Fire or electric shock may result if the cable is placed under heavy objects, exposed to heat or flame, or forcibly tugged or bent.

Should the insulation become damaged and the wires become exposed, contact your retailer or Nikon service office for replacement. Continued use could cause fire or electric shock. Do not handle the cable when your hands are wet. Doing so could cause electric shock. The outlet into which the power cable is plugged must be grounded. Failure to ground the power supply could result in electric shock. The scanner and all devices to which it is connected must be connected to a common ground. If a common ground is not used, a ground loop could occur, causing electric shock or static noise. Do not plug the power cord into an extension cord or multipleoutlet extension, as this could result in fire or malfunction.
Use an independent outlet whenever possible. If the scanner is plugged into an outlet to which a household appliance such as a vacuum cleaner or air-conditioner is connected, the scanners power supply may be subject to noise. Unplug the power cable by pulling on the plug, not on the cable itself. Pulling directly on the cord could result in damage that could cause fire or electric shock.
The shape of the cable depends on the country of sale
Do not connect or disconnect the cable while the power is on.
Step 4Connect the SCSI cable The LS-2000 connects to your computer by a Small Computer Systems Interface, or SCSI. To use a SCSI connection, you will need an appropriate SCSI cable and, in the case of IBM PC/AT compatible computers, a SCSI extension board (SCSI adapter) or PCMCIA card (see the FastTrack Guide and the LS-2000 Reference Manual for details). This section describes the procedure to connecting the LS-2000 to a SCSI chain made up of your computer and SCSI devices connected to it in a series. SCSI devices cannot be connected while the power is on. Before connecting the scanner to the SCSI chain, be sure that the computer and all other devices in the chain, including the scanner, are off. How the scanner should be connected to the chain depends on whether it is to be located between other devices or attached at the end of the chain.
When the scanner is the last device in the chain 1. Set the terminator switch on the rear of the scanner to ON
2. Connect the SCSI cable to either of the two SCSI connectors on the rear of the scanner and connect the other end to the next device in the chain
Scanner only external device in chain

Other SCSI device

Scanner last of several external devices
When the scanner is between other devices 1. Set the terminator switch on the rear of the scanner to OFF
2. Connect the SCSI cable from one of the devices in the chain to either of the connectors on the rear of the scanner, then connect a cable to the remaining connector and attach the other end to a connector on the next device in the chain

SCSI NB 4 TERMINATOR

OFF SCSI ON

Terminator

3. Confirm that the last device in the chain is terminated Note: If the last device in the chain has an unused SCSI connector, a separate terminator should be attached to it, even if the device is connected to the SCSI chain using a through terminator.

SCSI connection checklist Turn off the computer, the LS-2000, and all SCSI devices before connecting the scanner. Be sure that the devices at both ends of the SCSI chain are terminated. If the host computer is a Macintosh, the chain will already be terminated at the computer end. In the case of IBM PC/AT compatibles in a chain which contains external devices only, the chain should be terminated at the SCSI board. In the case of a chain which includes internal devices, you may need to remove termination from the board and terminate the last internal device. The maximum number of SCSI devices that can be connected in a single chain is eight, including the computer and any internal SCSI devices such as hard disks or CD-ROM drives. The total length of cabling in the SCSI chain should be no more than six meters (twenty feet). The longer the cabling, the less reliable the connection.
Safety Precautions Do not damage the SCSI cablings protective insulation. Do not forcibly tug or bend SCSI cables, place cables under heavy objects or expose them to heat or flame. When disconnecting cables, handle the cable by the connector, not by the cable itself. Should the insulation be damaged or the internal wiring exposed, replace the cable immediately. Do not handle SCSI cables or devices when your hands are wet.
Step 5Set the scanners SCSI ID Each device in the SCSI chain has a unique ID, which is a number between zero and seven that the computer uses to distinguish between different devices. When connecting the LS-2000 to a SCSI chain, the scanners SCSI ID must be set to a number that is not shared by any of the other devices, including the computer itself. The scanners SCSI ID is indicated by the SCSI ID dial on the rear panel. Before the scanner leaves the factory, the ID is set to 2.

SCSI ID 4

When choosing another ID for the scanner, bear in mind that the computer will usually have an ID of either 0 or 7, and that internal hard disks often have IDs of 0 or 1. In the case of Macintosh computers, the computer will have an ID of 7, while the internal hard disk and CD-ROM drive often have IDs of 0 and 3, respectively. In general, it is recommended that you set the scanners ID to any number other than zero, one, three, and seven that is not used by another SCSI device. Caution: Assigning the same ID to two different devices could render the computer system inoperable or result in important data on a hard disk being lost or corrupted.
To change the scanners ID, turn the scanner off. Then, using a screwdriver, turn the dial on the back of the scanner to choose a new ID.

SCSI NB

Note: The LS-2000 conforms to Level 1 of the SCAM (SCSI Configured Auto-Magically) SCSI-selection standard, which allows some computers to set the scanners ID automatically. If your computers operating system supports Plug&Play and the SCSI host (computer or SCSI extension board) conforms to SCAM, the scanner may be automatically assigned an ID which differs from that set using the SCSI ID dial. SCAM will not assign conflicting IDs to SCSI devices.

SCSI 0

The scan window

Step 3Insert an adapter in the scanner The LS-2000 comes with separate adapters for scanning mounted 35 mm slides and strips of 35 mm film containing up to six frames each. Either adapter can be inserted in the scanner while the scanner is on. Before mounting an adapter in the adapter slot, check that the scanners status LED is glowing steadily. Adapters should not be inserted or removed while the status LED is blinking. Open the scanners front cover and slide the adapter in as shown in the illustrations below, stopping when the adapter is fully inserted. In the case of the SA-20, be sure that the connectors on the rear of the adapter are fully inserted in the connectors at the back of the adapter slot.
Inserting the MA-20 SLIDE MOUNT ADAPTER
Inserting the SA-20 STRIP FILM ADAPTER
A plastic tray is provided with the strip-film adapter to catch film ejected from the scanner. This tray is attached to the adapter as shown below.
Cautions Wait until the status LED glows steadily or the scanner is off before inserting or removing adapters. Do not replace adapters while the scanner is operating. If an adapter does not slide in smoothly, remove it from the adapter slot and try again. Do not use force.
Step 4Insert film Insert the film to be scanned into the adapters film slot. When the scanner is installed on its side, the film should be oriented so that the photograph or frame number is not reversed. When inserting slides, the short side of the aperture should face toward the scanner.
To scan a film strip with the SA-20 strip-film adapter, grasp the film lightly by both edges and slide it into the film slot a short distance. The adapters feed mechanism will be activated and the film will be fed into the scanner automatically.

Cautions Examine the film for use in the SA-20 carefully prior to scanning. Film must be flat or curl slightly towards the emulsion surface (film should fit in the gauge on top of the adapter). Film cannot be used in the adapter if: there is tape on the film the film has been folded the perforations have been torn the film has been cut on an angle or torn Film that cannot be scanned in the SA-20 can be scanned in the MA-20 slide adapter using the FH-2 film holder (see the LS2000 Reference Manual). Film must be clean and free from fingerprints. In the case of the SA-20, the presence of dirt could cause damage to the film. Before scanning, remove dust with a blower and gently wipe off any finger prints with a soft, dry cloth.
Detailed information on the kinds of film appropriate for use in the LS-2000 and on inserting film, see the LS-2000 Reference Manual. Step 5Choose a film type In the scan window, select a film type appropriate to the type of film (positive or negative) inserted in the scanner.
Step 6Choose a color space Choose a color space from among those listed in the color-space pop-up menu. The color spaces available depend on whether Nikon Color Management is used; see the software reference manual for your platform for details. By default, color spaces of calibrated RGB (sRGB), CMYK, and Lch (HSL) are available.
Step 7Choose a thumbnail (SA-20) If you are using the SA-20 strip-film adapter to scan film strips of two to six frames each, the thumbnail drawer-tab will be available. Click the drawer-tab to open the thumbnail drawer, then click the frame you wish to scan. To speed processing, numbered frames can be displayed in place of thumbnails by clicking the hide thumbnails button.
For more information on the thumbnail drawer, refer to the software reference manual for your platform. Step 8Perform a preview scan The current slide or currently selected thumbnail can be previewed in the scan window, allowing you to choose the exact area for the final scan and to adjust exposure and color balance. To preview the current slide or the currently selected thumbnail, click the preview button. The scanner will perform a rapid preview scan, and a preview image will be displayed in the scan window.
Step 9Select a crop The area to be scanned when the image is passed to the host application is selected by dragging the mouse cursor over the preview image. The selected area will be indicated by a dotted line, or marching ants marquee.
The crop can be zoomed in or out, flipped, or rotated using the buttons at the top left corner of the scan window. The crop can be shifted to a new part of the image by dragging, while the dimensions of the crop can be changed by dragging its borders. The size of the crop can also be adjusted using the crop size drawer, as described in the software reference manual for your platform. Step 10Auto contrast adjustment Nikon Scan can automatically adjust image contrast to suit the color balance and tone range of the original. Click the contrast button to adjust contrast automatically.

Step 11Remove dust and scratches Images can be treated digitally to remove dust and scratches. To do so, open the scanner extras drawer tab and select Defect Correction from the options pop-up menu.
Select On from the Mode pop-up menu to automatically process the image to remove defects. The effects of Defect Correction will be visible in the preview image in the scan window. Consult the software reference manual for your platform for more information on the scanner extras available for the LS-2000, including multi-sample scanning. Step 12Adjust color balance, contrast, and brightness The controls in the color-balance drawer can be used to adjust RGB color balance, contrast, and brightness. Click the color-balance drawer-tab to open the color-balance drawer.
Adjust brightness, contrast, and color balance by dragging the sliders. The effects of these adjustments will be visible in the scan window.
More precise control of brightness, contrast, and color balance and contrast is available in the curves-and-levels drawer. Refer to the software reference manual for your platform. Step 13Scan the selected crop Once you have selected a crop and adjusted scanner controls to your satisfaction, click the scan button. The selected crop will be scanned and transferred to the host application or to an image window in Nikon Scan. Depending on the application used or Nikon Scan Preference settings, the scan window may close when scanning is complete. For information on how to save and print scanned images using Nikon Scan, refer to the software reference manual for your platform. Step 14Scan additional images When Nikon Scan is being used as a stand alone application, the scan window can be activated after an image has been scanned by selecting the Open Twain Source command from Nikon Scans File menu (Windows) or by selecting the scanner from the Device submenu of the Nikon Scan menu (Macintosh). To re-open the scan window from another application, select Nikon Scan from the applications list of acquire or import sources.
Once the scan window has been re-opened, the current slide or film strip can previewed and a new crop selected as outlined in steps 5 through 12, or the current film can be ejected and new film inserted and previewed. To eject a slide from the slide-mount adapter, press the eject button and then pull the slide the rest of the way out with your fingers.
