Chapter 1. Getting Started

Your PowerLook 1100 scanner is extremely user-friendly. Hardware and software installation can

be completed in a few steps. In minutes you can start operating your scanner to see for yourself the

kind of quality scanned images it can produce.

This chapter tells you how to prepare your scanner for connection and installation. It also gives

some handling precautions and general care measures to ensure that your scanner will stay in top

condition at all times.

Before You Begin

Unpack Your Scanner

Ensure that your package contains all the hardware, software, cabling, and documentation you

ordered. Check for any damage that may have occurred while the package was in transit. If there

are any missing or damaged items in your scanner package, contact your dealer or the carrier of your

package immediately.

Static Electricity Precautions

Static Electricity (in your body) can cause damage to the electronic components on the scanner’s

printed circuit board or the computer’s interface card. Therefore, you need to discharge static build-

up from your body before handling any card or component outside of its anti-static packaging.

To protect your equipment from static discharge, you are advised to closely follow these measures:

• Discharge any static build-up in your body by touching a grounded or anti-static surface (such

as a large metal object or the silver-toned expansion slot covers at the rear of your computer).

Do this prior to removing any electronic components from their anti-static bags.

• When handling any electronic components, avoid touching any metal part of the component

such as the gold “fingers” that plug into the expansion slot. It is best to handle system

components either by their edges or by their mounting brackets.

A Glance at Your Scanner

Take a few minutes to become familiar with the different parts of the scanner. The figure below

shows the locations and names of the scanner parts. A brief description of each par is also given.

• Object Glass – The glass surface on which the document or image for scanning is placed;

made of tempered glass with excellent optical qualities.

• Document Cover – The plastic cover over the object glass. Can be raised or lowered to cover

a document.

• LED Indicators – Three indicators – Power, Ready, and Option.

• Optical Assembly Lock – Locks the scanner’s optical component system.

• Power Switch – Used for turning the scanner power ON and OFF.

• FireWire (IEEE 1394) Connector – Where you plug in the FireWire (IEEE 1394) cable.

• UTA Connector – A connector used to connect the optional UMAX Transparency Adapter.

• Power Cord Connector – Where you plug in the scanner power cord.

Prepare the Scanner

Prepare your scanner for installation through the following simple steps:

• Unlock the optical assembly

• Run the automatic scanner self-test

Unlock the Optical Assembly of the Scanner

Insert a coin in the thumbscrew of the optical assembly lock and turn it firmly counterclockwise.

Before attempting to transport your scanner, it is important that you lock the optical assembly in

place to avoid any possible damage to the scanner’s optical components. To lock the optical

assembly, insert a coin and turn it until points to the lock mark.

Test the Scanner

The scanner automatically performs a simple self-test each time it is turned on. This self-test checks

the status of certain scanner devices.

Connect the power cord to a wall outlet.

Connect the other end of the power cord to the scanner.

Turn on the power to the scanner.

At power-on, the front panel indicators flash once. The power indicator then glows and the ready

indicator blinks. When the test is completed, the power and ready indicators glow steadily.

Care and Maintenance Tips

Regularly clean the object glass of the scanner and the transparency adapter to prevent dirt or

smudge build-up that may reduce the quality of your scanned images. Before you clean the object

glass, make sure the scanner is off and the power cord is unplugged.

Clean the object glass of the scanner and the transparency adapter with a soft damp cloth and a mild

detergent or alcohol.

Note: Avoid spraying cleaning fluid directly on the object glass. This may cause the liquid to

penetrate the seams around the glass and contaminate the mirrors and lenses inside the

scanner. Spray the liquid on the cleaning cloth then wipe the glass clean.

Be sure that nothing covers the calibration area. It is important to keep the calibration area clean

since dust or smudge marks on the glass will reduce the quality of scanned transparencies. Make

sure the transparency fits in the scanning area.

Do not leave transparencies on the object glass of the scanner for excessive periods of time. The

warmth of the scanner and transparency adapter lamps may cause them to deteriorate. Please, use

the Frame holder to secure the transparencies for scanning.

Chapter 2. Macintosh Installation
