■ BEFORE YOU BEGIN ... ■
Power supply
If you have any questions about the power source at
your work site, contact your supplier or the power com-
pany.
■The unit should have an independent power source that is not
shared with any other electrical device. If you have to use an ex-
tension cord or power strip, make sure the total ampere rating for
all the equipment does not exceed the ampere rating of the exten-
sion cord.
■Do not place anything on the power cord, and do not locate the
unit where people working around the unit will walk on the cord.
■Do not bundle the power cord or wrap it around an object like a
table or chair leg. The area around the unit should be clear of all
obstacles. In case of an emergency, you should be able to reach
the power source quickly to unplug the cord.
■To remove the power cord from the power outlet, grasp the head
of the plug firmly to remove it. Never pull on the cord to remove

Features of the Microfilm Scanner 350II
❏Space saving
The economical design of this compact film scanner requires less
space on your desk or work table.
❏Internal SCSI-USB converter
SCSI-USB converter is built-in, so you can use both SCSI and
USB interfaces. See “Preparing the computer (scanner
mode)”(➞P.21)
❏Automatic film polarity detection
The unit automatically detects the presence of negative film or
positive film and sets itself accordingly.
❏Uses a variety of film formats
A wide variety of roll/fiche carriers or auto carriers can be in-
stalled so you can use several film formats like microfiche, aper-
ture card, and roll film.
❏Easy operation
Operations like border removal and image trimming can be per-
formed at the press of a few keys before scanning.
❏Reader-Printer mode (CapturePerfect)
This is a mode which enables the scanner to perform the same
Reader-Printer functions as a Microfilm printer does. Scanned im-
ages can be printed out directly through a designated printer.
❏Expandability
By adding the optional DMP board, sold separately, in the Micro-
film Scanner 350II, the scanner can be used as a Digital Micro-
film Printer (DMP).
Before you use the equipment, make sure you and your co-work-
ers read the following warnings about using this equipment.

About operation modes
The following operating modes are available with this scanner.
Select one of the following modes according to your system envi-
ronment before using the scanner. For details, contact your ser-
vice representative.
❏Scanner mode
Using this scanner in connection with a personal computer, the
image projected on the scanner’s screen can be saved in the PC as
image data, or printed out through a printer connected to the PC.
❏DMP mode
By installing the optional DMP board in the scanner and connect-
ing it to a DMP-dedicated printer, the MS350II can be used as a
digital microfilm printer (DMP). The image projected on the
scanner’s screen can be printed out through the DMP-dedicated
printer. In this case, no personal computer is required.
❏Reader-printer mode
Using the CapturePerfect bundled with the MS350II, the scanner
that is set to the Scanner mode will operate as if it is set to the
DMP mode. The image projected on the scanner’s screen can be
printed out directly through a printer connected to the personal
computer. In this case, however, the image cannot be saved in the
PC as image data.
When the DMP board is installed in this scanner, switch
the “DMP mode” and “scanner mode” in the user mode
before use. (➞P.45 “USER MODE”)
If the computer is connected with the user mode set to
“DMP mode” when the DMP board is installed in this
scanner and the MS350II is used as a scanner, the
operation panel may not be operable or other prob-
lems may occur.
