SCANNER SETUP

Removing the optics locking screw

Before the scanner can be used, the optics locking screw on the bottom panel of the scanner
must be removed with a flat-head screwdriver. The locking screw is necessary to transport the
scanner. Place the screw in the storage position toward the front of the scanner body for future
use.

Transporting the scanner

To prevent damage when transporting the scanner, the
optics locking screw must be used. Before inserting the
screw in the lock position, the scanner must be initial-
ized with the DiMAGE Scan Utility.

With the scanner connected to the

computer and the DiMAGE Scan
Utility running, press the control
(Windows) or command (Macintosh)
key plus the shift and L keys simulta-
neously. A window indicating the
command will be displayed; click the
OK button to move the optics to the lock position.

A message stating the completion of the operation will be displayed; click the OK button. Turn off
the computer and scanner. Disconnect the cable and power cord from the scanner and screw the
optic locking screw in the lock position.

Before connecting the scanner to a computer

Before connecting the scanner to a computer, the the DiMAGE Scan Utility must first be installed.
Read the software instruction manual for the installation procedure.

The scanner should be placed on a level surface free from vibrations. It should be located away
from direct sunlight and in a clean, dry, well-ventilated area.

7
SCANNER SETUP

Connecting the SCSI cable

The scanner is supplied with an ultra SCSI D-sub half-pitch 50-pin cable. Contact your dealer if a
different cable is required.

The computer and all peripheral devices must be off

before connecting the scanner.
The terminator dip switch on the back of the
scanner eliminates the need for an external ter-
minator. If the scanner is to be the only SCSI
device connected to the computer or it is the last
device in a daisy chain, switch number 1 should
be in the on position; terminating the SCSI chain
helps to suppress noise, not terminating a chain
can cause slowdowns, data errors, and crashes.
If the scanner is to be connected somewhere
within a daisy chain, switch 1 should be in the
off position. The initial setting for all the switches
is on. Dip switch 4 must be in the on position to
use a SCSI interface.

Set the SCSI ID for the scanner by pressing the buttons above and
below the ID number window. Devices in the same chain must have
unique ID numbers. Depending on the computer system, some SCSI
IDs may already be assigned:

IBM PC/AT 7 - SCSI host adapter

Macintosh 0 - internal hard drive
3 - internal CD-ROM drive
7 - operating system

IDE Macintosh systems do not use SCSI ID 0 for the hard drive. SCSI
ID 3 is available on the external bus on Macintosh systems with a
dual bus.

Connect the scanner to the computer or SCSI

chain with the cable. Either SCSI port can be
used for the connection.

Plug the power cord into the back of the unit.

The other end of the power cord should be
plugged into a grounded outlet.

8
Connecting the IEEE1394 (FireWire) cable
The scanner is supplied with an IEEE 1394 (FireWire) cable. Up to 63 devices can be attached to
a computer using this interface. However, the number of devices is limited to 16 when using a
daisy-chain configuration.

The computer and all peripheral devices must be off

before connecting the scanner.
Set dip switch number 4 to the off position to
active the IEEE ports. Switch 4 must be
moved to the on position if a SCSI cable is
used.

Connect the scanner to the computer or

IEEE peripheral chain with the cable. Either
IEEE port can be used for the connection.

Plug the power cord into the back of the unit.

The other end of the power cord should be
plugged into a grounded outlet.

Auto Power Save

The scanner automatically turns the scan-
ning light source off during long periods of
inactivity to save energy and preserve the life
of the fluorescent tube. Though not recom-
mended, the auto-power-save function can
be disabled by setting dip switch number 2 to
the off position.

LOADING THE FILM HOLDERS

Handling film
To achieve the best possible reproduction from the scanner, the film and film holder should be
free from dust and dirt. Always work with processed film in a clean, dust-free environment. Handle
film by the edges or mount to prevent fingerprints and dirt marring the image area. Special lint
free gloves are available from photographic equipment retailers for film handling as well as anti-
static cloths, brushes, and blowers for removing dust. Film cleaner can be used to remove oil,
grease, or dirt from film; carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions and precautions for the
film cleaning solvent.

Where is the emulsion?

When film is scanned, the emulsion side of the film should be down. When viewing the film image,
if the image is orientated correctly rather than a mirror image, the emulsion side is facing down. If
the image is abstract or symmetrical so its orientation is difficult to determine, the emulsion is
down if the frame numbers and edge markings can be read correctly. With mounted slides, the
emulsion is on the same side of the mount as the film manufacturer's or processor’s name is
printed.

Loading 35mm film strips

The 35mm Film Holder FH-P1 is for unmounted 35mm
film. Film strips up to six frames in length can be placed
in the holder.
With the cover hinges away from you, open the holder by
lifting on the latch on the cover.

With the emulsion down, place the film sideways

into the holder and under the retaining tabs (1).
Align the film frames with the holder windows.
Carefully close the cover until the latch clicks. See
page 15 for instructions on how to load the holder
into the scanner.

Loading 35mm mounted slides

The Slide Mount Holder SH-P1 is for mounted 35mm film.
Up to four slide can be placed in the holder. Slide mounts
must be between 1mm and 2mm thick to fit the holder.
Glass mounts cannot be used; the glass refracts the light
resulting in distorted and unevenly illuminated scans.

With the cover hinges away from you, open the holder by
lifting on the latch on the cover.

10
 With the emulsion down, place the slide mounts
sideways into the holder. The mount must be
oriented as illustrated otherwise the top and
bottom of the image will be cropped.

Carefully close the cover until the latch clicks.

See page 15 for instructions on how to load the
holder into the scanner.

When the slide mount holder is in the scanner, the

last slide can be removed and a new slide inserted
without ejecting the holder. A prescan should be
made each time a slide is inserted when using the
scanner’s autofocus and auto exposure functions,
see the DiMAGE Scan Utility manual.

Inserting attachments into the Universal Holder

The Universal Holder is used for scanning medium format film. All standard formats from 6X4.5 to
6X9 can be scanned. Two attachments with and without glass are supplied with the holder. An
attachment must be inserted to hold the film.

With the hinge to the top, slide the left side of

the attachment into the holder so the two pro-
trusions on the attachment are aligned to the
two slots in the Universal Holder.

Carefully press the right side of the attach-

ment down until the latch in the Universal
Holder clicks.

To remove an attachment, slide the latch (1)

and lift the attachment from the front right cor-
ner.

11
LOADING THE FILM HOLDERS

Using the standard attachment

The standard attachment is equipped with glass to hold the film flat. A set of five masks are pro-
vided for standard formats: 6X4.5, 6X6, 6X7, 6X8, and 6X9. See page 11 for instructions on how
to insert the attachment into the Universal Holder.
To open, press the latch on the attach-
ment and lift the cover.

Slide the tabs of the appropriate mask

into the corresponding slots on each side
of the attachment hinge. Fit the holes on
the other side of the mask (1) over the
registration pins (2) on the base of the
attachment. Always use a mask when
scanning or newton rings and flare may
degrade the image quality.

1
2
With the emulsion down, place the film on the mask.
Align the frame with the mask aperture.
Carefully close the cover until the latch clicks. See
page 15 for instructions on how to load the holder
into the scanner.

Using the glassless attachment

The glassless attachment allows scans without any
extra glass surfaces in the optical path. See page
11 for instructions on how to insert the attachment
into the Universal Holder.

To open, press the latch on the attach-

ment and lift the cover.

Adjust the masking bars on the attach-

ment to the film format. White markings
indicate the format positions: 6X4.5, 6X6,
6X7, 6X8, and 6X9.

12
With the emulsion down, place the film on the
attachment. Align the frame with the attachment
aperture.

Carefully close the cover until the latch clicks. See

page 15 for instructions on how to load the holder
into the scanner.

Multi-format Set HS-P1 (sold separately)

The multi-format attachment allows non-standard
film sizes to be scanned. The set includes the 3
multi-format attachment cover (1), the multi-format
attachment base (2), and a set of three masks
1
(FM-P2)(3).

The Multi-format attachment is designed for non-standard film sizes, special technical films, and
non-photographic transparent media. The maximum area that can be scanned at one time is
56.58 mm X 83.82 mm. This attachment can be used for 16 mm film, microfilm, or 24 X 65 mm
panoramic images. TEM (transmission electron microscopy) film can also be scanned. However,
since the image area of some TEM films is larger than the holder aperture, several scans need to
be made and then the image must be reconstructed digitally.

Slide the left side of the attachment base into

the Universal Holder so the two protrusions on
the attachment are aligned to the two slots in
the holder.

Carefully press the right side of the base down

until the latch in the Universal Holder clicks.

Insert the two pin on the attachment cover into

the two corresponding holes in the Universal
Holder. Both pins should click into place.

13
LOADING THE FILM HOLDERS

With a straight edge and sharp knife, cut the aperture for
the film from one of the masks. The aperture should be
the same dimensions as the image area, not the film size;
the mask should separate the film from the glass base of
the attachment to prevent newton rings, and the aperture
should only show the image area to eliminate flare from
the surrounding clear film.

Slide the tab of the mask into the slot

on the side of the Universal Holder.
Fit the holes on the other side of the
mask (2) over the registration pins on 2
the base of the the holder on each
side of the cover hinges.
1

With the emulsion down, place the film on the

mask. Align the image area with the mask aper-
ture.

Carefully close the cover until the latch clicks. See

page 15 for instructions on how to load the holder
into the scanner.

To remove the film, slide the latch toward the

center of the holder and lift the cover.

To remove the multi-format attachment from the

Universal Holder, slide the latch near the hinge (3)
to remove the cover.

To remove the glass base of the attachment, slide

4 the latch on the Universal Holder (4) and lift the
base from the holder.

14
Loading a film holder into the scanner
Before using the scanner, install the DiMAGE Scan Utility; see the software instruction manual.
Turn on the scanner and then start the computer. Launch the DiMAGE Scan Utility before insert-
ing the film holder.

Do not insert the film holder into the scanner while

the DiMAGE Scan Utility is launching or the scan-
ner is initializing (the indicator lamp blinks during
this period).

Insert the film holder into the scanner in the direction

indicated by the white arrow. Hold the holder straight
and level when inserting it into the scanner.

Carefully push the holder into the

scanner until the arrow mark (1) is
aligned with the scanner door; the
holder will be automatically fed into
the scanner from that point. Never
touch or hinder the holder while it is
moving.

Ejecting a film holder

Use the eject button on the scanner body or in
the DiMAGE Scan Utility window to remove the
holder; the scanner automatically ejects the
holder to its initial insertion position. Do not
touch or hinder the holder while it is moving. Eject
When the indicator lamp goes out, remove the button
holder from the scanner.

Checking software installation – Windows
If the scanner was connected to the computer before the DiMAGE Scan Utility was installed, the
computer may not recognize the scanner unit. Windows 2000 Professional and XP users should
log on with the administrator privilege. With Windows 2000 Professional and XP, the “Digital signa-
tures not found” message may appear when the computer first detects the scanner. The additional
message “Installing hardware...Window log test is not passed” may appear when Windows XP is
launched. Simply click the OK (2000) or continue button (XP).

1. Turn off the computer and disconnect the scanner. Restart the computer.

2. Windows 98, 2000, Me: right click on the My-computer icon. Select properties from the drop-
down menu.

Windows XP: from the start menu go to the control panel. Click on the performance and mainte-
nance category. Click the system button to open the system properties window.

3. Windows 2000 and XP: select the hardware tab in the properties window and click the device-
manager button.

Windows 98 and Me: click the device-manager tab in the properties window.

4. The driver file should be located in the imaging-device location of the device manager. Click on
the location to display the files. When using a SCSI interface with Windows 98 or Me,
Minolta#2887 should be listed as the imaging device. For Windows 2000 Professional and XP,
Minolta DiMAGE Scan Multi PRO should be listed as the imaging device. When using an IEEE
interface, Minolta DiMAGE Scan Multi PRO should be listed as the imaging device.

If these files are not located in the imaging-device location, open the other-devices location of
the device manager. If Minolta#2887, Minolta DiMAGE Scan Multi PRO, or minolta SCANNER
2887 IEEE 1394 SBP2 Device is listed, follow steps 5 through 9 to delete and reinstall the cor-
rect driver.

5. Click on the driver to select it for deletion.

6. Windows 2000 and XP: click on the action button to display the drop-down menu. Select unin-
stall. A confirmation screen will appear. Clicking the yes button will remove the driver from the
system.

Windows 98 and Me: click the remove button. A confirmation screen will appear. Clicking the
yes button will remove the driver from the system.

7. Restart the computer.

8. Install the DiMAGE Scan software; refer the software manual.

9. Turn off the computer and connect the scanner.

If the computer does not recognize the scanner, repeat steps 1 through 4 to confirm the correct
driver was installed in the imaging-device location of the device manager.

Image data sheet

On the following page you find a data sheet.
Keeping records when scanning is important. It allows for results to be reproduced as well as a
good reference for settings when new images are scanned. Records are also a useful learning
tool; they document both successes and failures.
The data sheet may be copied and used to record scanner settings.
Details on the film, exposure, and any special filters or processing used can be noted.

MINOLTA HISTORY

Why does a manufacturer of high-quality 35 mm

cameras produce a medium-format scanner? This is
not as strange as it may seem. After all, Minolta’s
first product was a roll-film camera.

The Nifcarette folding camera started the company

in 1926. Minolta was also the first Japanese manu-
facture to make a twin lens reflex (TLR) camera in
1937, the Minolta Flex. We continued to design and
produce medium-format cameras until the mid 60s.
The last TLR released by Minolta was the 1965
Autocord CdS.
