Your SCSI Set-up As we cannot predict which SCSI card you will be using, and what other devices you have in your system, impossible to advise you on your specific set up. However we have included a number of possible configurations in the Troubleshooting section of this booklet. SCSI 1 SCSI 2 Mac SCSI (also used on some PC SCSI adaptors) 16 Over. . . Making the Perfect Installation The final task is to set the SCSI ID number of the scanner. A single SCSI chain can support up to 7 devices, some of which may be internal (hard disks, CD ROM drives). Each device has a unique identification number to ensure that the SCSI controller can communicate without ambiguity. Although there are no fixed rules for SCSI, the general practice is to put the controller at ID 7, any hard disks at 0 and 1, and a CD ROM drive at 3. This leaves 2, 4, 5 and 6 free for you to assign, unless you have additional devices installed. Nikon Scanners are usually set to ID 5 when shipped from the factory. The scanner ID is set by a switch on the rear of the unit. The switch may either be a rotary type or a push type. Note that after changing the ID number, the unit must be switched off and on for the new setting to be registered. Don't forget to remove the last-used slide from a slide scanner before powering on again. Rotary type Scanner SCSI switches Push type 17 Making the Perfect Installation 5.

We're very sorry that you have arrived at this page as it means that things have not gone completely to plan!Please bear in mind that if you have installed your system according to the instructions in this booklet, if your scanner is working correctly and if your system is "clean"--meaning that it has no conflicting programs, devices or drivers loaded--then everything WILL work. Please reread this manual and check through the steps of testing the scanner before it has been connected to the computer, verifying that your SCSI adaptor (if fitted) has been correctly installed and is of a type compatible with Nikon Scanners. If you have completed the above suggested action, then our recommendation is to try the following: 1. [. . . ] Obtain a SCSI-1 to SCSI-2 cable and connect the SCSI-1 end to the scanner via the through terminator.
