When transporting the scanner

The LS-30 is for use only in the country of sale. Nikon will not be

held responsible for consequences resulting from use overseas.

The scanning mechanism must be locked in its home position for

transport within the country. To return the scanning mechanism

its home position, remove any adapters from the adapter slot and

then turn the scanner on. The status LED will blink while the

scanning mechanism returns to the home position. Wait until the

status LED glows steadily, then turn off and unplug the scanner.

Place the guard in the adapter slot as shown below, sliding it in until

it contacts the back of the slot.

Remove the transport locking screws from the rear panel and screw

them into the holes provided in the side panel and the mouth of the

adapter slot (the hole in the mouth of the slot should align with the

hole in the guard). Close the front cover and pack the scanner and

adapters in the original packing material for transport.

✔Caution: Do not transport the scanner without first locking the

scanning mechanism with the transport lock screws. Moving the

scanner without the lock screws in place could damage the mecha-

nism.

1. Overview

Thank you for your purchase of a Nikon LS-30 scanner for 35 mm

film. The LS-30 is a high-speed, high-resolution scanner capable of

producing images suited to a wide variety of tasks, including desk-

top publishing, design, and multi-media publishing. Its modular

design allows you to change from scanning 35 mm slides to scan-

ning 35 mm strip film “on the fly.” An adapter for scanning IX240

film is available separately. The LS-30 uses a high-speed SCSI

interface for connection to computers running Mac OS System

Software 7.1 or later, Windows 95 or later, or Windows NT 4.0 or

later.

The scanner driver software provided with your scanner, Nikon Scan

2.1, offers sophisticated pre-scan editing of images, including

precise color correction, contrast, and brightness adjustment. Nikon

Scan can be launched from any TWAIN-compliant application

under Windows or from any application that supports Adobe

Photoshop

plug-ins (version 4.0 or higher) on the Macintosh. Nikon

Scan can also be used as a “stand-alone” application, allowing you to

save scanned images to disk without the help of another application.

The user’s manuals for the LS-30 and Nikon Scan are divided into

three parts. This User’s Guide offers a brief introduction to setting

up the scanner and scanning images using Nikon Scan. More

detailed reference manuals for the scanner and for Nikon Scan are

provided on CD-ROM. To read these manuals you will need to

install the Adobe Acrobat Reader software included on the refer-

ence CD. In addition, a one-page Fast Track Guideis provided for

experienced users who want to get started with the minimum of

instruction. Where appropriate, this guide will refer readers to the

reference manuals or Fast Track Guidefor more information.

References to the manuals on CD are indicated by a icon in the

margin, references to the Fast Track Guideby a icon.
