Setting up the Scanner

Setting up the Scanner

Environmental Requirements

Install the scanner in a location that fulÞls the following requirements:
¥ Keep the scanner away from sources of heat, such as direct sunlight
or a radiator. Warm temperatures will degrade the quality of your
scansÑfor best results, work in a cool environment.
¥ The scanner must be operated away from sources of strong electro-
magnetic interference. Although the scanner complies with all regu-
lations governing electromagnetic immunity and Imacon has taken
every reasonable step to make the unit immune to electromagnetic
interference, it is still a precision electronic device so strong radio
waves can interfere with your scans.
¥ The surface on which the scanner is placed must be stable and free
from vibrations. If the scanner is shaken or moved while scanning,
your results may be affected.
¥ If the scanner has been in a colder environment (e.g. outside or in
storage) just before you set it up in a warmer room, then wait about
two hours before using itÑotherwise, condensation may form,
which will prevent the scanner from operating correctly.
¥ Avoid using the scanner in areas where there is a high level of dust
(such as in a workshop).
¥ To prevent dust from getting into the scanner, always close the light
table door when the scanner is not in use.

Electrical Requirements

The Flextight Photo power supply requires a mains voltage of between
100 and 240 V AC at a frequency of 50 to 60 Hz. This is within the nor-
mal wall-socket power standards of most countries. Do not attempt to
use Flextight Photo with any power source that supplies electricity
using speciÞcations out of this range.
The scanner and all devices attached to the scanner (computer, monitor,
SCSI devices, etc.) must be grounded (i.e. use a three-point electrical
connection).
Note that the power supply may emit a low hissing sound when
plugged in but not connected to the scanner. This is normal and will not
damage the power supply or scanner.
