Installation Before installing the SF-200 (S), make sure that your scanner is set up in a suitable location, as described in the documentation provided with the scanner. The SF-200 (S) should not be used where: · the temperature exceeds 35ºC (95ºF) or falls below 10ºC (50ºF) · it would be subject to condensation or drastic changes in temperature · the humidity exceeds 85% · it would be exposed to direct or reflected sunlight · it might be subject to vibration or strong physical shocks · there is a lot of dust · it would be exposed to radio interference from other electronic devices · it would be exposed to water vapor (e. g. , from a humidifier) · it would be exposed to smoke Warning: Failure to observe the above precautions could result in fire or in scanner malfunction. The scanner must be on its base when the SF-200 (S) is used, and there must be sufficient space around the scanner to allow the magazine cover to open and to ensure adequate ventilation. There should be at least 15 cm (6) of space above the unit and 10 cm (4) open to the rear. Space requirements when the SF-200 (S) is attached are illustrated below. 22 The SF-200 (S) can be mounted on the scanner whether the scanner is off or on and connected to a computer. If the scanner is on, before mounting the feeder check that the status LED is glowing steadily. 24 Cautions · Slides must be from 1. 0 mm to 3. 2 mm thick. · Mounts with rough surfaces could cause the feeder to jam. · Do not use mounts with peeling or burred edges, mounts to which seals or labels have been affixed, or mounts with sharp corners. Such mounts could jam the feeder or cause problems during scanning. · The feeder does not function equally well with all makes of slide mount. Makes that have projecting parts or are not of an even thickness may jam in the feeder. · Avoid slides with warped mounts. Warped slides may jam if placed in the feeder as shown below. Slide feeder viewed from above Warped slide mount · Do not load slides into the feeder with the longer side of the aperture facing the scanner, as this could damage the film or slide mount or cause the feeder to jam. Insert slides as shown by the insertion guide sticker next to the feed magazine. Insertion guide sticker To scanner · Do not load slides in the feed magazine past the load mark, as this may cause the feeder to jam. · Do not move the scanner while scanning is in progress. · Remove scanned slides from the ejection magazine before the magazine is full. [. . . ] 28 4. 5 What to do if the feeder jams If a jam occurs, open the magazine cover and remove the slides remaining in the feed and eject magazines. Pull back the feed push-plate and hook it in the notch so that it does not spring back to its original position. The method for resolving a jam depends on the position of the feed mechanism when the jam occurred. If the jammed slide is visible in the magazine and the feed mechanism has returned to its housing in the front of the unit, the jammed slide can be removed with your fingers. [. . . ]
