Step 2: Choose a Location
Installing the Scanner
Before connecting the power and interface cables, choose a flat, stable location for your scanner close
to the computer and to a suitable power outlet. Do not install your scanner where:
• it would be exposed to direct or reflected sunlight
• it would be subject to condensation or to drastic changes in temperature
• it would be exposed to dust or smoke
• it would be exposed to water vapor from a humidifier
• it would be exposed to radio interference from other electronic devices
• the temperature exceeds 35°C (95°F) or falls below 10°C (50°F)
• other objects would block the scanner’s vents
The scanner has feet on two sides, allowing it to be installed in either of the orientations shown below.
Leave enough space around the scanner to ensure ease of operation: at least 5 cm (2˝) above and on
either side of the scanner, and 10 cm (4˝) behind it. When using the SA-21 strip-film adapter, the front
of the scanner should be at least 15 cm (6˝) from the edge of the surface on which the scanner is placed
to prevent film from falling to the floor when ejected from the adapter’s film slot. If you are using the
FH-3 film holder, leave at least 25 cm (9.8˝) free in front of the scanner.
When the scanner is not in use, remove any adapters from the adapter slot and close the sliding cover to
prevent dust from accumulating inside the scanner.
Install the scanner with its feet down, as shown in the illustrations on these pages. Do not store or operate
the scanner in any other orientation.
