About SnapScan

About SnapScan
SnapScan is a one pass 8-bit flatbed color scanner with a resolution of 300 x 600 dpi with a
fluorescent lamp. It is based on CCD (Charge Coupled Device) scanning technology. SnapScan is a
scanner that captures and converts reflective originals (e.g. pictures, text) into electronic data that
can be used in computer applications. It offers high-resolution image capturing and is an ideal tool in
making presentations come to life.
If you purchased the document feeder option you can to scan up to 60 sheets of text fast and
without interruption. Some software packages allow you to convert the scanned sheets of text into
most of the commercially used text file formats. If you purchased the transparency option, you can
scan transparent originals (e.g. slides) as well.
SnapScan supports multiple scanning modes and includes scanner software to get you started right
away. With its powerful and easy-to-use scanner driver software, SnapScan gives you easy access
to high-quality color scans. The scanner driver software gives you a number of additional features to
create special effects or to reproduce even the most difficult originals.
A practical feature is the adjustable document cover: when you put a thicker original (like a book or a
magazine) on the reflective glass plate, the document cover adapts itself to its thickness.
You can scan line-art, halftone, gray-scale and color reflective originals up to legal or A4 format. The
corresponding bit depths can be either 3 x 8 bit for color, 8 bit for gray-scale originals, or 1 bit for line-
art originals. The scanned data are transferred to the workstation through SCSI-2. The workstation
can be an Apple Macintosh or PC.
Conventions
The following conventions are used in this guide:
❖Note: a note of this type gives you additional information.
■Instructions are preceded by a small red square.

Unpacking the scanner
1. Open the packing box and carefully take out all the items.
2. Check each item to make sure that you have everything listed on the box and that there is no
visual defect.
If something is missing, contact your dealer.
3. Remove the plastic wrapping and the packing materials from the scanner.
❖Note: Save the packing materials so that you can repack the scanner to protect it if you
have to move it over long distances.
4. Fill out the Warranty and Registration card of your scanner. You will find the product serial
number on it. You will have to fill out extra Warranty and Registration cards if you acquired the
transparency option or/and the document feeder option as well. You will find the serial
numbers of the transparency option and the document feeder option at their rear.
❖Note: Do not forget to mail the Warranty and Registration card. Only then you can claim
your guarantee and get information on new products and upgrades.
Chapter 1 — Preparing the scanner 7
Unlocking the scanner
The scanner’s optical box contains all optical components and rides back and forth during the scan.
A locking slider holds it in place during shipment. You have to unlock the scanner before you power
it up .
1. Place the scanner on a horizontal, flat surface and pull it forwards until you can see the locking
slider at the base.
2. Slide the locking slider to the right.
Your scanner is unlocked.
3. Move the scanner back on your desktop. Allow a minimum of 10 cm (4 inches) free space
around each side of the scanner and a minimum of 15 cm (6 inches) at the rear side of the
scanner.
Chapter 1 — Preparing the scanner 8
Relocking the scanner
If you need to transport the scanner over long distances, you should first relock it. This will protect
the scanner’s optical assembly from possible damage.
1. Place the scanner on a horizontal, flat surface and pull it forwards until you can see the locking
slider on the underside.
2. Turn on your scanner.
The scanner’s optical assembly moves to its home position.
3. When the info indicator (the left green one) stops blinking, slide the locking slider to the left.
Your scanner is locked.
4. Switch off your scanner.
