Connect the Densitometer to the Computer
With settings on the Densitometer and card correctly set and the interface card properly
installed in your computer, you can now connect the Densitometer and the computer, as
follows:
1.
Ensure that the Densitometer’s SCSI ID is properly set. Determine which SCSI ID
numbers are already assigned and which numbers are free. Refer to “Changing the
SCSI ID Number” in Section 3.2 for instructions on setting the Densitometer’s SCSI ID.
2.
Turn on Active terminator and termination power (please refer to Section 3.3 for more
details on setting termination), connect the SCSI cable to SCSI port and connect the
other end of the SCSI cable to the Densitometer.
3.
Connect the power cord to the Densitometer.
4.
Turn on the Densitometer power.
5.
Turn on the computer power.
3.5 Testing the Densitometer
Prepare your Densitometer for installation through the following steps:
1. Check and reset (if necessary) the Densitometer’s SCSI ID
2. Run the automatic Densitometer self-test (see below)
Test the Densitometer
The Densitometer automatically performs a simple self-test each time it is turned on. The
self-test checks the status of certain Densitometer devices.
Start the Densitometer self-test by following the steps below:
1. Connect the power cord to the Densitometer.
2. Connect the other end of the power cord to a wall outlet.
3. Turn on the power of the Densitometer. The on/off control is a push-button
switch located on the left front of the unit.
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 the ready indicators
glow steadily.
The Densitometer performs a self-test for approximately 35 seconds after which the
Densitometer indicator stabilizes. The Transparency Module indicator and the scanning
lamp stay on. If a problem occurs during the self-test, refer to Section 6, Troubleshooting.
