2 Setting Up the Scanner This chapter shows you how to set up the Apple Color OneScanner.
Unpacking the scanner and accessory kit Make sure you have the items shown here. Color OneScanner Power cord Color OneScanner User’s Manual Color OneScanner software Quick Start card for OneScanner Dispatcher software You may have received additional third-party software with your scanner. Choosing a SCSI cable The Apple Color OneScanner connects to your Macintosh through a Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) cable (pronounced “SKUH-zee”).
To connect the scanner directly to the Macintosh To connect the scanner directly to your Macintosh computer, you need a SCSI system cable. SCSI system cable (one end is smaller than the other) To connect the scanner at the end of a SCSI chain If you already have an external SCSI device (such as a SCSI hard disk drive) attached to your Macintosh computer, Apple recommends that you connect the scanner at the end of the SCSI chain. To make this connection, you need a SCSI peripheral cable.
Choosing the right location Before you set up the scanner, choose a work area that’s convenient for you and that meets the physical requirements of the scanner: m a level, stable surface, such as a desk or table m a grounded three-pin power outlet m space around the scanner for easy access to the on/off switch Allow clearance above the scanner so the top cover opens easily. Leave enough room to place large originals on the scanner glass.
Safety precautions m Don’t place the scanner where anyone can walk on the power cord, and do not allow anything to rest on the cord. If you must use an extension cord, be sure the total length of the power cord plus the extension cord is not greater than 16.5 feet (5 meters).
Apple Color OneScanner at a glance Now that you’ve unpacked the scanner and accessory kit and found a good location, take a moment to identify the most important parts of your new Apple Color OneScanner.
Locking and unlocking the scanner The Apple Color OneScanner carriage is locked during shipment. Make sure the carriage is unlocked. The scanner will not work if the carriage is locked. If in the future you need to ship the scanner for service or move it to a different place, be sure to relock the scanning unit. To lock or unlock the scanning unit: 1 Grip the scanner top cover on both sides and lift it off. Grasp cover here. 2 Use a coin to turn the lock to the locked or unlocked position.
Setting the SCSI ID number and termination You may not need this step. You can skip this topic if m the scanner is the only external SCSI device to be connected to your Macintosh or m you’re setting the scanner up as the last device in a SCSI chain If you need to change the SCSI ID number or termination setting, do so after you review this topic and before you connect any cables.
About SCSI termination The SCSI selector on the Apple Color OneScanner also works as a selector for internal SCSI termination. Termination is set to “on” at the factory. If the scanner is the only SCSI device connected to your Macintosh or if you place the scanner as the last device in a SCSI chain, the “on” setting is correct and doesn’t need to be changed. If the scanner is one device in a SCSI chain, but not the last device, you must turn off termination. See Appendix C for details.
Connecting the SCSI cable Follow these steps to connect the scanner directly to your computer. 1 Plug the large end of the SCSI cable into the back of the scanner, and push the retaining clips into the tabs. Retaining tab Retaining clip SCSI cable 2 Plug the small end of the SCSI connector into the back of the Macintosh, as shown. 3 Gently tighten the thumbscrews on the cable. You’re now ready to attach the power cord.
Connecting the power cord Follow these steps to connect the power cord to the scanner: 1 Align the holes in the socket end of the power cord with the pins of the power cord socket on the back of the scanner. 2 Plug the socket end of the power cord into the pins on the scanner. 3 Plug the other end of the power cord into a standard electrical outlet that accepts a three-pronged plug. WARNING This equipment is intended to be electrically grounded.
Switching the power on The scanner and other SCSI devices require that you switch the power on in a certain sequence. To switch the scanner on: m Press the on/off switch. “O” is for off, and “I” is for on. Switching the power on Equipment attached to computer Switch on in this order Scanner only Scanner > computer Scanner plus other devices Scanner > other devices > computer If you start the computer before you turn on the scanner, the computer won’t be able to find the scanner.
Important safety information Any electrical device, when operated improperly, can be hazardous. Before you use your scanner, become familiar with these important safety precautions: m Don’t use the scanner near water. m Use the power cord that is appropriate for use in the country in which you use the scanner. m Never drop or insert objects of any kind into the scanner. m Never spill liquid of any kind on or into the scanner.
3 Installing the Scanner Software This chapter tells you how to install the software you need to use the Apple Color OneScanner.
m ColorSync, a system program that records color information about scanned images so the colors stay consistent in different applications and on different devices, such as printers and monitors Most of the files on these disks are compressed. To install them, you must use the Installer. Your scanner package may include additional software. If you want to install and use the software, see the on-disk documentation that comes with the software for installation and user instructions.
3 Double-click the Installer icon. After a welcome screen appears (click Continue), an installation dialog box opens. Easy Install: Apple recommends that you use the Easy Install process for your scanner software. Easy Install places all necessary files on your hard disk and updates any existing files as needed. Custom installations: The Installer has a custom feature that allows you to choose specific items from a list and have them installed.
6 If the scanner is not on, switch it on. 7 Click Restart. Installing the plug-in module for use by other applications The Apple Color OneScanner plug-in module allows you to scan images directly into applications compatible with Adobe Photoshop plug-ins. The user’s manual for your application will tell you where the application requires you to place the plug-in module. Before you install the plug-in modules, you must install the Apple Color OneScanner software, as described earlier in this chapter.
4 Drag the copy of the Apple Color OneScanner plug-in icon to the folder suggested by the user’s manual for your graphics application. 5 When the plug-in icon is where you want it, delete the word “copy” and the space before the word. 6 If the user’s manual for your application suggests a restart, restart your computer. You can now scan images directly into the graphics application. Assigning the Xerox TextBridge 3.
The Dispatcher window opens on the Macintosh desktop. Drag-and-drop icons You’ll find complete information about using the Dispatcher window in Chapter 4, “Scanning Images.” For now, continue following these steps to assign TextBridge to the Dispatcher. 3 In the Dispatcher window, double-click the icon labeled Unassigned OCR. A dialog box opens. 4 24 Chapter 3 Move through folders (and disks, if necessary) to find the TextBridge application.
5 Double-click the TextBridge application name, or select the name and click Select. The dialog box closes. TextBridge appears as the OCR icon. Drag-and-drop icons Like the other icons in this area of the Dispatcher window, the OCR icon is a drag-and-drop icon. To move text images into your OCR application, drag them to the OCR icon. For more information, see Chapter 6, “Scanning Text.
Installing Kai’s Power Tools and Convolver Kai’s Power Tools and Convolver are plug-in modules that provide filters compatible with Adobe PhotoShop and similar applications.

During installation, a dialog box appears that lets you select the Plug-Ins folder (inside the Apple Color OneScanner folder) as the correct destination for the new plug-in modules.
4 Scanning Images This chapter provides complete instructions for using the OneScanner Dispatcher application program with the Apple Color OneScanner.
What you can scan You can scan almost anything you can put on the scanner glass: m photographs and flat art m drawings and calligraphy m line art m bound documents such as magazines and books You should be aware of a few limitations: m You cannot completely scan an item that is larger than 8.5 by 11.7 inches. The optional Automatic Document Feeder extends the scanning area to 8.5 by 14 inches. m You cannot scan items that weigh more than 4.4 lb. (2 kg). Heavier items may damage the scanner glass.
Aligning a single original To ensure that the alignment of the scanned image matches the alignment of the original, you can use the alignment mark. To align an original page on the document glass: 1 Lift the scanner cover, as shown. 2 Place the original face down on the document glass. Position the original so the top edge is toward the rear of the document glass and the top-right corner points to the alignment mark, as shown.
Aligning bound originals You can scan pictures or text in bound books with the Apple Color OneScanner. To simplify the placement of large bound originals, you may wish to remove the scanner cover. For instructions, see the next topic, “Removing and Replacing the Scanner Cover.” To align bound originals: 1 Open the bound document and place the page you want to scan face down on the document glass. 2 Position the page to cover as much of the glass as possible.
Removing and replacing the scanner cover When you work with a bound document, you may wish to remove the scanner cover. Removing the cover makes it much easier to align the pages of bound items and makes the alignment more accurate. To remove the scanner cover: 1 Position the scanner so the front is facing you. 2 Grip the cover as shown and lift it straight up off the scanner. Grasp cover here. To replace the scanner cover: 1 Insert the metal posts into the scanner. 2 Gently push the cover down.

Title bar Arrow 2 To hide (or show) the bottom half of the window, click the arrow. You’ll find information about using the Dispatcher window throughout this chapter. 3 To move the Dispatcher window anywhere on the desktop, drag it by its title bar.
How the OneScanner Dispatcher application is organized The Dispatcher window is the control center for your scanning activities. Buttons Buttons You use the buttons on the top half of the Dispatcher window to scan new images, send new images to your printer or a fax application, open and edit images you’ve already scanned and saved, and view images in thumbnail form.
Drag-and-drop icons Drag-and-drop icons You use the icons on the bottom half of the Dispatcher window to drag and drop saved images you want to send to a printer, a fax application, an optical character recognition (OCR) application, or an application you add, such as a graphics application. Example: You may have an archive full of images you’ve scanned. If you want to fax one of the images, you simply drag the image’s thumbnail from an image archive and drop the thumbnail onto the Fax icon.
Scanning with automatic settings The OneScanner Dispatcher application comes preset to scan most color and black-and-white originals. For your first scanned images, you may wish to work with the automatic settings. Later, when you’re ready for fine-tuning, you can customize the settings. To scan a document and create a new image: 1 Put the original document on the scanner glass and close the scanner cover. For more information, see “Preparing Originals,” earlier in this chapter.
3 Click Scan. The Apple Color OneScanner dialog box opens. IMPORTANT If you have a PowerBook and cannot see the controls at the bottom of the dialog box, you must change the setting in your Monitors control panel. Open the control panel, click Options, and choose 640 x 400. Pop-up menus 4 To make sure the correct options are selected, check the Set Up pop-up menus. Source If you’ve attached an Automatic Document Feeder or Transparent Media Adapter, you need to specify it as the source of the scan.
Destination Choose a destination for the image. The destination you specify is used to determine the resolution at which the scanner will scan the image. For example, if you select Monitor as the destination, the Resolution pop-up menu automatically chooses the resolution that is correct for most monitors. You can, however, change the resolution setting if you wish. You can also specify a custom resolution. Resolution Choose the resolution you want to use.
6 Drag to select the area you want. A marquee (dashed line) surrounds the selected area. The Image Info area changes to reflect the size of the selection. Image height, width, and size change depending on the selection you make. Selection marquee 7 If you want to zoom in, click the zoom button (optional). Zoom button The area in the zoom view is the area that will be scanned. To return to the original view, you must click Preview and start over.
9 Click Scan. The scanner scans the original. When the scan is complete, the image appears in a new document. The document is named Image1. Subsequent scans in the same session are named Image2, Image3, and so on. The image may be larger than the new window. You can scroll to view the rest of the image. Scroll bar Scroll bar Each dot on the scanned image corresponds to a pixel on the computer screen.
Saving a scanned image As soon as the scanner has completed a scan, the new image, with the name Image1, appears in a window on the Macintosh desktop, as shown at the end of the previous topic. You can save the image with a more useful name, and in a different folder, if you wish. To save and rename a new image: 1 Make sure the image window is active. To activate the document, click anywhere in the image window. 2 Choose Save from the File menu. The Save dialog box opens.
5 Choose an image format from the File Format pop-up menu. PICT (default setting): A widely used format that is compatible with most Macintosh applications (uses ColorSync). JPEG Joint Photographic Experts Group, a format that compresses files and lets you choose compression versus quality. Photoshop A format that supports all available Adobe Photoshop image modes.
Assigning a fax application to the Dispatcher Before you can use the scanner for faxing, you must assign the driver for your fax application to the Dispatcher. (If you have a fax modem or fax machine connected to your computer, use the driver that came with it.) 1 In the Dispatcher window, click the Fax drag-and-drop icon. 2 In the dialog box that appears, find the driver for your fax application. The Dispatcher takes you to the Extensions folder where your fax driver should be.
5 Click Fax or Copy. Printing (Copy): The Print dialog box opens. Specify the number of copies you want, set any other options, and click Print. The original is scanned and sent to your fax application or currently chosen printer. No image document created: When you fax or print an image using the Scan Router, an image document (file) is not created. The scanner simply sends the new image to the fax application or printer. To fax or print the image again, you must rescan it.
To open a saved image: 1 If necessary, start the OneScanner Dispatcher application to open the Dispatcher window. 2 Click Archive. A dialog box opens. 3 Select the name of the folder you want. Selected folder 4 Click Select “folder name” (the large button at the bottom of the window). An archive opens, showing thumbnail representations of your images. 5 To open an image, double-click it. You can use the image-editing tools and commands to modify the image or select and copy parts of it.
Renaming a saved image in an archive To rename an image that is open: 1 Choose Save As from the File menu. 2 In the dialog box that appears, give the image a new name. To rename an image in the Finder desktop 1 Click the icon to select the image and its name. 2 Type a new name. Printing or faxing a saved image from an archive You can use the drag-and-drop icons to send a saved image directly to your printer or fax application.
3 Drag the thumbnail from the archive onto the Print or Fax icon. Drag the thumbnail onto the icon. Faxing If this is your first fax, a dialog box asks you to find your fax driver. (For instructions, see “Assigning a Fax Application to the Dispatcher,” earlier in this chapter.) If this is not your first fax, your fax application opens, ready for you to address and transmit the scanned image. Printing The Print dialog box opens. Set the options you want to use, and click Print.
Adding your own drag-and-drop applications To speed up your work, you can add an application you frequently use to the unassigned drag-and-drop icons. You can then send an image to the application by dragging a saved image onto the icon and dropping it there. Example: You may routinely rework scanned images in the MacDraw® Pro application. Ordinarily, you must scan an image, copy it, and paste it into a MacDraw Pro document.
3 Move through folders (and hard disks, if necessary) to find the application you want to add. The application you select must support drag-and-drop behavior and must be able to open documents in formats supported by the Dispatcher (such as PICT and TIFF). Application you want to add 4 Double-click the application name, or select the name and click Select. The dialog box closes. The application’s icon appears in the previously unassigned icon. You can now use the icon to drag and drop scanned images.
Scanning directly into a graphics application The OneScanner Dispatcher application comes with the Apple Color OneScanner plug-in module. A plug-in is a software module that extends an application for a specific purpose, such as importing scanned images. IMPORTANT If you haven’t already installed the Apple Color OneScanner plugin module, see “Installing the Plug-In Module for Use by Other Applications” in Chapter 3.
3 Choose Apple Color OneScanner (the plug-in module) as the source of the acquisition. The Apple Color OneScanner dialog box opens. Choose the options you want from the pop-up menus. Click to preview the image. 4 Select a portion of the preview image and then click Scan. Click Preview, and change scanner options if necessary. For information, see “Scanning with Automatic Settings,” earlier in this chapter. 5 Click Scan. The image is scanned and inserted in a new document for the application.
Scanning with custom settings After you’ve scanned a number of images, you may want to customize the settings in the Apple Color OneScanner dialog box. This section provides detailed information about settings for resolution, tone, and threshold. Setting the resolution The level of detail in a scanned image is determined by the number of dots per inch (dpi) the scanner uses to reproduce an image. The number of dots per inch defines the resolution. Higher resolutions provide more detail.
Recommended resolutions for maximum efficiency The chart below shows the settings that Apple recommends for the output devices listed. Keep in mind that an image scanned at a higher resolution will require more memory and take longer to scan and print.
Changing the tone (brightness and contrast) You can improve the appearance of a scanned image by adjusting the tone before you scan the image. Tone is a measure of brightness and contrast—the intensity of blacks and whites, or colors, in a scanned image. The way your monitor is set up affects the way an image appears on the screen. For information, see your monitor manual. Brightness Brightness determines the overall lightness of a scanned image.
4 Click Tone. The Tone dialog box appears. Tone variations How the image will look with your changes The image as it will be scanned 5 Drag to select the portion of the preview you want to use as a sample for brightness and contrast. A solid outline appears around the selection. You can drag the outline to a different part of the preview if you want to sample different areas. When you release the mouse button, the selected area becomes the central point for tone variations.
8 To return to the Apple Color OneScanner dialog box, click Apply. If you want to return the image to its original state, click Revert. 9 When the settings are the way you want them, click Scan. The image is scanned using the settings you chose. Changing the threshold You can customize scanned images by resetting the threshold. Threshold is a measure of the darkest dark colors and the brightest light colors.
5 In the Threshold dialog box, make the changes and selections you want. m If you want the Dispatcher to recommend the appropriate threshold settings, click Suggest. m If you want to customize the threshold settings yourself, you can. To set the lightest value, click the highlight dropper and then click the spot in the original that you want to use as highlight threshold. The slider adjusts to show the point you set, and the result adjusts to the change.
6 To return to the Apple Color OneScanner dialog box, click Apply. To return to the original settings, click Revert. 7 Click Scan. The image is scanned with the settings you chose. Changing image size and ruler units The Apple Color OneScanner dialog box provides information about the size of a scanned image and the size of the document (file) the image will occupy.
Viewing image file size Image File Size shows how much memory, in kilobytes, the image file will occupy. File size is determined by m the image type and resolution m the size of the image area to be scanned Changing the ruler units You can set the ruler to use a different unit of measure for the height and width of an image. You can set the ruler for inches, centimeters, pixels, points, and picas. To change ruler units: m Choose the units you want from the Ruler Units pop-up menu.
Copyright regulations (USA) It is illegal to reproduce certain official or copyrighted documents, and doing so may be punishable by criminal or civil law.
5 Editing Scanned Images You can use the OneScanner Dispatcher application to edit and improve the appearance of scanned images. You can add and adjust colors, change the size, crop an image, or copy selected areas to other documents.

Cropping an image You can select an area of an image and then eliminate the surrounding area. To crop an image: 1 Select the area you want to remain in the image. 2 Choose Crop from the Image menu. The area around the selection is deleted.
Flipping an image Sometimes you may inadvertently scan an image upside down or on its side. You can correct this situation by flipping the image. To rotate a selection: 1 Open the image. 2 From the Image menu, choose an option from the Flip pop-up menu.
Rotating an image 1 From the Image menu, choose an option from the Rotate pop-up menu. You can rotate the image 90 degrees left, 90 degrees right, or 180 degrees. You can also choose Arbitrary rotation and set the number of degrees. 90˚ left rotation 90˚ right rotation 180˚ rotation 2 If you want to specify the degree of rotation, choose Arbitrary to open a dialog box. 3 Type the number of degrees you want and click OK.
Setting the image depth You can change the number of colors used in an image or switch a color image to black and white. You do this by changing the image depth. To change depth: m From the Image menu, choose an option from the Image Depth submenu: If you change the depth of an image to fewer colors or grays, you cannot recover the original image depth. You must rescan the original to get back the higher number of colors.
Setting ColorSync preferences Different devices—scanners, printers, and monitors, for example—reproduce different ranges of colors. ColorSync is a color management system that allows applications and device drivers to produce consistent color across different devices. ColorSync stores information about various devices in profiles. Profiles are dictionaries that contain color information about a specific device. ColorSync is an Apple system extension.
Changing the way you view an archive Occasionally you may want to view thumbnails in order by type, date, or size rather than by name. To change the view: 1 Open the archive you want to look at. 2 From the Image menu, choose an option from the View By submenu: Name, Date, Type, or Size. The order of thumbnails in the archive changes to the option you chose.
6 Scanning Text An optical character recognition (OCR) program such as Xerox TextBridge analyzes scanned text and converts each character into a form of text a computer can recognize. This chapter is a brief introduction to text scanning. You’ll learn m how to scan a text document for use with the TextBridge application m how to use the OneScanner Dispatcher application to send a saved text image to the TextBridge application Be sure you use the version of TextBridge that comes with your scanner.
Scanning a text document into the TextBridge application You’ll find OCR scanning especially useful if you have many documents that need to be moved onto the computer for storage or information-retrieval (search) purposes. After the text is converted, you can copy and paste—or import—the text into a word-processing or desktop publishing document. There you can edit and revise the text without retyping.
3 Click Scan to open the Apple Color OneScanner dialog box. 4 Choose Flatbed from the Source pop-up menu; if you’re using the document feeder, choose Feeder. 5 Choose Black and White from the Image pop-up menu, and choose 300 dpi from the Resolution pop-up menu. 6 Click Scan. The original document is scanned. 7 Choose Save from the File menu. The Save dialog box opens. 8 Choose TIFF from the File Format pop-up menu. TIFF is the recommended format for text images.
Moving a text image to the TextBridge application After a text image is scanned, you can rename it or accept the automatically numbered image. When you’ve scanned and saved an image, you can send the image to the TextBridge application. Note: You can use TextBridge as a stand-alone application. It is not required to use it through the Color OneScanner Dispatcher. To send a saved text image to TextBridge: 1 If necessary, open the Dispatcher window.
3 Drag the text thumbnail from the archive onto the TextBridge icon on the bottom panel of the Dispatcher window. Drag the text image to the TextBridge icon. The TextBridge dialog box opens. 4 Click Go. 5 See your TextBridge manual for information about the next steps. In the TextBridge application, the image is converted to text. You can now move the text into a word-processing, page-layout, or desktop publishing document for editing.
Converting a text image into an HTML document When you’ve scanned and saved a text image (in TIFF or PICT format), you can convert it to an HTML file for use on the Internet. 1 If necessary, open the Dispatcher window. 2 Click Archive and open the archive that contains the image you want to convert to HTML. 3 Drag the thumbnail of the text image from the archive to the TextBridge drag-and-drop icon. This opens the TextBridge application.
7 Dispatcher Commands This chapter explains what happens when you choose any of the commands in the OneScanner Dispatcher menus. The chapter m provides a quick reference for advanced users m shows dialog boxes opened by various commands and explains their functions, but does not provide step-by-step instructions The chapter is organized by menu.

8 Scanner Maintenance Your Apple Color OneScanner needs little maintenance, except for occasional cleaning. Follow the guidelines in this chapter to keep the scanner working properly. Cleaning the scanner To clean the scanner: 1 Switch off the scanner and computer. WARNING Do not attempt to service the scanner yourself. Disassembling the scanner can expose you to dangerous voltage points or other risks.
Don’t tip the scanner on its side or turn it upside down. To move the scanner, follow the guidelines in “Carrying the Scanner” in Chapter 2. WARNING Avoid spraying cleaning agents or water directly on the document glass. The spray could penetrate below the glass and contaminate internal mirrors and lenses. Never use a chemically treated cloth or cleaners that contain alcohol, benzene, or ammonia. Use of such items can discolor, deform, or melt the outside covering. Do not lubricate the scanner.
9 Using the Automatic Document Feeder The Apple Automatic Document Feeder is an optional accessory you can purchase to automate the scanning of multiple original pages. You’ll find the Automatic Document Feeder especially useful if you plan to use your scanner for optical character recognition (OCR) or repetitive image retrieval work. This chapter shows you how to set up and use the document feeder.
To connect the document feeder: 1 Switch off the scanner and then switch off your Macintosh computer. Power switch. “O” is off and “I” is on. Devices connected through SCSI cables require a certain power-on sequence. See “Switching the Power On,” in Chapter 2, for more information. 2 Grip the scanner top cover on both sides and lift it off. Put the original cover away in a safe place for future use. The document feeder replaces the cover. Grasp cover here.
3 Install the Automatic Document Feeder. Insert the metal posts into the scanner. 4 Close the document feeder by gently pushing it downward.
5 Remove the plastic cap from the port on the back of the scanner and put it in a safe place. Remove the plastic cap. Insert the connector cable. 6 Plug the cable from the document feeder into the small port on the back of the scanner. 7 Switch on the scanner and then switch on your Macintosh. The scanner makes some sounds as it warms up. After about 20 seconds, the document feeder and scanner are ready to use.
Choosing originals to scan The document feeder is designed to accept standard office papers as originals. Like a copy machine, the document feeder may have problems with bent, torn, or otherwise mutilated originals. These originals work best The document feeder accepts paper with the following dimensions and weight: m paper size length 10 1/8 to 14 in. (257 to 356 mm) width 7 3/16 to 8 1/2 in. (182 to 216 mm) m paper weight 16 to 20 lb.
Scanning with the document feeder The document feeder significantly speeds up the scanning process, especially if you’re doing optical character recognition (OCR) work. Partly because of its speed, however, the document feeder has certain limitations of which you should be aware: m Do not scan images in color when you use the document feeder. The images you get may not meet your quality requirements.
4 Gently slide the document guide in the direction of the arrow, as shown, to align the guide with the width of the originals. Document guide WARNING Do not stack the originals higher than the paper-height limit mark (5/64 in./2 mm). Do not press down on the feeder. Do not place anything heavier than 4.4 lb. (2 kg) on top of the document feeder. 5/64 in. (2 mm) 5 Paper-height limit mark Open the OneScanner Dispatcher if necessary.
6 Click Scan. The Apple Color OneScanner dialog opens. Choose Feeder. Choose Black and White. 7 From the Source pop-up menu, choose Feeder. 8 From the Image pop-up menu, choose Black and White. 9 Click Scan. The document feeder passes each original under the cover as it is being scanned and then deposits the original in the document exit tray. The process continues until all originals have been scanned.
Bypassing the document feeder As mentioned earlier in this chapter, certain originals may not work properly with the document feeder. You may want to scan valuable documents that could be damaged by the document feeder. You can do this by placing the originals on the scanner glass rather than using the document feeder. To bypass the document feeder: 1 Lift the document feeder as if it were the scanner cover. 2 Place the original on the glass.
Clearing paper jams If you scan only acceptable originals, you should have little trouble with paper jams. For a review of factors that make originals acceptable, see “Choosing Originals to Scan,” earlier in this chapter. If a paper jam occurs while you’re using the document feeder, follow the steps given in this section to clear the jam. Follow the path Clearing a paper jam is simple if you know where the jam occurs.
Paper jams at the beginning of a scan To clear a paper jam that occurs at the beginning of a scan: 1 Lift the document feeder cover, as shown, and remove the jammed paper. First, lift the document feeder cover. Then, carefully remove the jammed paper. 2 Close the document feeder cover by placing your fingers on the center of the cover and gently pressing down until the cover locks into place.

Insert the connector cable. 8 Plug the cable from the adapter firmly into the small port on the back of the scanner. 9 Switch on the scanner and then switch on your Macintosh. The scanner may make some sounds as it calibrates and warms up. After about 20 seconds, the adapter and scanner are ready to use.
Inserting film into a film guide for scanning The adapter comes with three film guides that can hold these sizes: m 35-mm film m 60-mm film m 4 x 5-inch film 35-mm film guide Shutter strips To avoid overexposure when scanning negatives, always insert a shutter strip in any slot that doesn’t contain film. Tabs Tabs Slots Slots 4 x 5-inch film guide 60-mm film guide Tabs With this film guide, you do not need to use a shutter strip.You can leave one of the film slots empty or put film in both slots.
To insert film into the film guide: 1 Place the film guide on a clean, flat surface. Choose the guide that’s appropriate for the size of film or transparency you intend to scan. 2 Lift the tab and insert shutter strips into slots that will not have film in them. IMPORTANT Shutter strips prevent overexposure (halation) of the scanned images.
3 Lift the tab and insert negatives or positives for scanning. Make sure the image is facing down. To avoid getting unwanted fingerprints on the film, wear gloves designed for handling film. Lift the tab and slide the film into the guide. The image should face down. 4 Negative or positive film Make sure the film is aligned properly in the slot. Hold the film guide up to a source of light to check for openings where light leaks through. The edges of the film must be parallel to the edges of the slot.
Scanning with the Transparent Media Adapter To scan with the adapter: 1 Lift the adapter and make sure no originals have been left on the scanner glass.
2 Place the film guide (with film and shutters in place) on the scanner bed. Line up the arrow on the film guide with the arrow on the scanner.

Appendix B Troubleshooting In general, as long as you follow the maintenance and safety instructions provided in this manual, you should have few problems with your scanner. This chapter provides solutions to some problems that you might encounter. IMPORTANT If you have a problem with your scanner and nothing recommended here solves it, contact your authorized Apple service center.
m The SCSI connection may not be secure. Make sure the SCSI cable between the scanner and the Macintosh is securely fastened. If the scanner is part of a SCSI chain, check all the SCSI cables. When I try to scan, I get a message that says, “The application can’t find the scanner.” m You may not have properly installed the scanner software. Review Chapter 3, “Installing the Scanner Software,” and then reinstall the software.
The scanner makes strange noises when I try to scan, and no image is produced. m The scanner carriage may be locked. Make sure the scanner lock is in the unlocked position. For information, see “Locking and Unlocking the Scanner” in Chapter 2. I still have my old Apple OneScanner attached to my Macintosh. When I try to scan with the OneScanner Dispatcher application, a message tells me the application can’t find the new scanner. m You may need to reset the SCSI ID number for the new scanner.
Image quality problems My images have smudges and smears all over them. m The scanner glass and the scanner cover may need cleaning. Use a clean, soft, damp cloth to wipe the glass and cover clean. Scanned images have consistent vertical streaks through them, even though I’ve cleaned the scanner glass. m You may have a hardware problem. See your authorized Apple service center. My scanned images are of generally poor quality. m You may be letting too much light in.
Appendix C Assembling a SCSI Chain This appendix shows you how to connect a chain of devices to your Macintosh computer. IMPORTANT If the scanner is the only SCSI device you plan to connect to your computer, do not use the instructions in this appendix. Instead, see Chapter 2, “Setting Up the Scanner,” where you’ll find the information you need. About SCSI ID numbers Your Macintosh has an external SCSI port that accepts a SCSI cable. You use this port to connect a device, such as the scanner.
For example, the internal hard disk drive is, by convention, always assigned SCSI ID 0 (internal). The system software shows the hard disk at that location. You can connect a total of seven internal and external SCSI devices to the Macintosh. Each device must have its own unique SCSI ID number, from 0 to 6 (or from 1 to 6 if you have an internal hard disk drive installed). About ID numbers: Do not assign numbers 0 or 7 to the scanner.
Factory setting The internal terminator for the Apple Color OneScanner is set to “on,” but you can change it. Note: You need an external terminator with the scanner only if you have a Macintosh IIfx or PowerBook computer. The Macintosh IIfx requires a special terminator. Make sure you purchase the appropriate item if you need an external SCSI terminator. Connecting the SCSI devices The illustrations later in this appendix show various SCSI arrangements and show where termination is required.
5 Attach either end of a SCSI peripheral cable to the other port on the back of the first device. If you want the second device to be more than 18 inches away from the first, connect a cable extender to the end of the SCSI peripheral cable. You can use up to 20 feet (6.1 meters) of cables. 6 Attach the other end of the SCSI peripheral cable (or the other end of the cable extender) to either SCSI port on the back of the second device.
Scanner is the only device connected to the Macintosh The scanner is connected directly to the Macintosh. No other external SCSI devices are set up. All Macintosh computers except Macintosh IIfx and PowerBook Scanner Termination Macintosh m No external SCSI terminator is needed. m Use factory setting (SCSI ID number 2, termination on); no change is required. Scanner Scanner connects directly to Macintosh with SCSI system cable.
Scanner is at the end of the SCSI chain The scanner is at the outside end of a SCSI chain. Other external SCSI devices are set up between the scanner and the Macintosh. All Macintosh computers except Macintosh IIfx and PowerBook Scanner Termination Macintosh m No external SCSI terminator is needed. SCSI 1 device SCSI 2 device SCSI 3 device m Use factory setting (SCSI ID number 2, termination on); no change is required.
Scanner is at the beginning of the SCSI chain The scanner is connected directly to the Macintosh. Other external SCSI devices are set up beyond the scanner. All Macintosh computers except Macintosh IIfx and PowerBook Scanner Termination Macintosh m A SCSI terminator is needed on last device in chain. Scanner SCSI 1 device SCSI 2 device m Set scanner SCSI ID to number 2, termination off. Terminator SCSI system cable m You can change the scanner ID number if you need to, but set termination off.
