Step 10: Turn the Scanner On
Getting Ready to Install the Scanner Driver
Before turning the scanner on for the first time, confirm that the Nikon Scan 3 CD is in your computer’s
CD-ROM drive. Press the power switch to turn the scanner on. When the scanner is turned on, the
status LED will blink for a few seconds while the scanner initializes and then glow steadily.
When turning the scanner on with the MA-20 (S) slide-mount adapter in place, be sure that the FH-3
film holder is not inserted. Leaving the FH-3 in the scanner can prevent the scanner from initializing
normally.
The status LED should blink slowly (about twice every three seconds) while the scanner initializes. If the
LED flashes rapidly (about five times a second), there may be a problem with the scanner or with the
connection to your computer. Try turning the scanner off, waiting for five seconds, and then turning the
scanner on again.
