6. Installation
6.1 Set up the scan station
Your Wide Format Scanner should be placed either on a sturdy table
or the specially designed stand-alone floor stand. The specially
designed floor-stand is required for mounting the optional Copy Kit (PC
and Screen holders).
Make sure there is enough space behind the scanner to allow the
media to run out. Thick stiff media requires space that is at least as
large as the media length.
Slots or openings in the cabinet at the back or bottom are provided for
ventilation. This ensures reliable operation of the product and protects
it from overheating. These openings must never be blocked or
covered by placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar soft
surface. Your scanner should never be placed near or over a radiator
or heat register. You should not place the scanner in a built-in
installation unless proper ventilation is provided.
6.2 Smart Card
Check that the scanner Smart Card is correctly installed (contact side
downwards) and corresponds to your scanner model. You will find the
Smart Card in the small drawer labeled “PUSH” behind the scanner
front streamer (remove the streamer to access the drawer).
The scanner will only function correctly when a Smart Card is inserted.
Notice that the SCSI DIP switch controls are in the Smart Card drawer.
Setting the DIP switch controls is described under the sections for
SCSI installation.
6.3 Install Maintenance software and Drivers
You are now ready to install the setup controls and maintenance
utilities for your scanner. Insert the Maintenance CD and click the
relevant installation option(s). Follow the instructions on your screen.
Be sure to refer to the separate driver documentation and READ-ME
files for last minute updates/instructions on installation of drivers.
