Your scanner needs software to make
it work. It may be supplied with
Nikon’s own software, Nikon Scan.
Nikon Scan is available for free
download from Nikon’s Technical
Support web-site at

Nikon software will
run under Mac OS

Getting Started
SCSI
Your scanner uses a standard called SCSI to connect to your
computer. Mac OS computers have SCSI built in. Nearly all
Windows computers require an expansion card which provides the
SCSI interface. In order to ensure maximum reliability, Nikon
scanners are tested and approved for use with Adaptec SCSI cards
and require ASPI 32-bit software for Windows NT 4.0 (a list of
approved adapters is provided separately).
A SCSI connection is a high-speed data link and is vulnerable to
disturbance. You must use high-quality cables that are as short as
possible. The ends of the SCSI chain must be terminated. Your
Nikon scanner has a switch to set termination if it is the last device in
your SCSI chain. The other end will probably be your SCSI adapter
card, or a hard-disk or CD-ROM drive inside your computer. If you
have a SCSI hard disk in your computer, you may need to remove
termination from the SCSI card as it will be in the middle of the
chain when you connect your scanner.

About Film
Your Nikon scanner will accept 35mm film in strips or as individual
mounts. An adapter for scanning IX240 film is available separately.
A multiple slide feeder is also available for up to fifty mounted
slides. In total, there are four adapters available for your Nikon
scanner. Film adapters are inserted into the scanner as shown. The
film adapter can be changed while the scanner is on (hot swap).
Your film is valuable! Please observe the following precautions when handling film
Adhesive tape must be
removed
Perforations must
not be torn
Strip film must be flat and the
ends should be cut straight across
IX240 film must be
developed and exposed
Slides go in face up, with
the short side of the
aperture facing the scanner
Film should be free of
dust and fingerprints
Take out film before switching the scanner off. Remove all
film before switching the scanner on.
Wait until the green light glows steadily before inserting or
removing adapters or film.
Your Nikon scanner comes with adapters for mounted slides and strip film. Additional
adapters are available for IX240 film and consecutive scanning of slide mounts.

This LED blinks when the scanner is initializing and
during a scan. It glows steadily when the scanner is
ready. If it flashes rapidly, something is wrong.
Don’t put anything in this
hole except an approved
Nikon film adapter.
This cover slides
down. Nikon film
adapters go in the hole.
There are two locking
screws to secure the
mechanism during
transport. Remove them
before use and put them
in the holes provided on
the rear of the scanner so
that you will have them if
you need to transport your
scanner at a later time.

This is where your scanner
connects to your computer by
a SCSI interface. Use either
connector.
Use the other connector if you
have other SCSI devices in your
system.
Set this switch to ON
if one of the SCSI
connectors is left free.
Each SCSI device has a unique number.
Your computer is probably “0” or “7.”
CD-ROM drives are often “3.” This dial
must be set to a number that is not being
used by other equipment.
