The Polaroid SprintScan 45 multi-format film scanner allows you to capture and convert film images into electronic files that you can edit and incorporate into your documents and presentations. The scanner can be connected to a Macintosh computer, or an IBM-compatible computer with a SCSI host adapter installed (see page 2-6).
Scanning modes The digitized images can contain up to 4000 dpi (dots per inch) of image information. Color is achieved with a tri-color CCD in combination with a cold cathode fluorescent light source. Two modes are available: • 8-bit mode: Each dot can be represented by an 8-bit RGB code per color, resulting in 256 levels of gray, or 16.
S ys te m r e q u i re m e n t s Macintosh systems • A Macintosh Quadra or PowerPC computer. • System 7.1 or higher is required; System 7.5 is recommended. • 16MB of RAM is required; 32MB or more of RAM is recom- mended. • An 8-bit (or better) color monitor is required; a 24-bit color monitor is recommended.

U n p a c k i n g The SprintScan 45 scanner is a precision instrument. Handle it as carefully as you do your hard drive. Save the protective packing materials and carton in case you need to move or ship the scanner. If you are missing any of the following components, contact your dealer immediately.

Po s it io nin g t he s ca nn er Place the scanner on a flat, stable surface, free of vibration. Leave at least 2 inches (50mm) of space around all sides and the top of the scanner for adequate ventilation, and leave room at the back to reach the power switch on the rear panel.
2-4 The SprintScan 45 scanner is unterminated. If it is the last device in the chain, add a terminator. See the illustrations on pages 2-9–2-10. Powerbook note: According to Apple Computer, even though this computer has an internal hard disk, you should treat it as an unterminated device.
Setup and use 2-5 SC S I I D nu mbe r s WARNING: TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO YOUR HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE, READ THIS SECTION BEFORE TURNING ON YOUR SYSTEM. Each device on a SCSI chain must have a unique SCSI ID number from 0 to 6. The Apple Macintosh always uses SCSI ID number 7.
2-6 In s ta lli n g a SCS I ad a pt er in a PC If you are using a PC-compatible computer, you must have a SCSI host adapter installed in your computer for connection to the scanner. We recommend an Adaptec SCSI host adapter. Before connection, be sure the settings are correct; check the documentation for your adapter.
Setup and use 2-7 The second port (25-pin) can be used to connect another SCSI device to the chain, using another SCSI cable. 3 Terminate the signal at the last device in the chain. If the scan- ner is the last device, connect the terminator provided to the 50-pin port.
D ia gr am s of v ar io us S CS I co nf ig ur at io ns The following diagrams illustrate different configurations. Find the appropriate configuration for your hardware, and follow the connection diagram and instructions. Note: The shorter the SCSI chain, the better it will work.
Place the scanner at the end of the chain and use the termina- tor provided. Do not add any additional terminators. If one external device has an internal terminator, see the previous example.
U sin g t he f il m ca r r i e r s The four-slide 1 With the text facing up and the hinge at the top, open the film carrier carrier flat as shown (picture 5). 2 Place up to four mounted 35mm slides in the spaces provid- ed. Be sure the slide mounts fit properly in the recessed areas.
2 Open the carrier flat. Insert a 4x5 chrome or negative so that the left edge is against the positioning pins (picture 8). Position the film so the image is right-reading and right-side up (emulsion-side down). Note: The emulsion side is the dull side.
1 Open the 4x5 carrier as described previously. 2 Locate the appropriate adapter for your image. One is designed for 2 1 / 4 x 2 3 / 4 in. images, and one is for 2 1 / 4 x 2 1 / 4 in. square images. Note: The frame of film must be cut from the film strip in order to be scanned.
1 Open the 4x5 carrier as described previously. 2 Locate the single-35mm adapter. Note: You can use a nega- tive, or a mounted or unmounted slide. 3 Orient the adapter so the metal tabs face up, and the notches are at the left edge. Slide the film into the channel, under the two metal tabs.
I n s e r ti ng t he c ar ri er i nt o th e sc a nn er 1 Open the carrier access door (picture 17). 2 Insert the carrier gently and firmly into the carrier slot as shown, until you feel it stop (picture 18). 3 Close the carrier access door. The scanner will not scan if the door is open.
M a i n t e n a n c e Keep the carrier access door closed when the scanner is not in use, to protect it from dust. Cleaning the cabinet Clean with a mild detergent solution. Keep the sponge or cloth barely moist. Do not let moisture inside the scanner.
T r o u b l e s h o o t i n g When the scanner is powered up, the POWER indicator should com e on and th e READ Y i ndicat or sh ould fl ash. A few sec onds later, after the scanner's self-test is completed, the READY indicator should shine steadily.
