8 Unpacking and Setting up
The scanner should be brought as closely as
possible to the intended installation site on
the pallet.
Note:
Setting up TANGO/TANGO XL requires a
space of approx. 3 m in length and 2.20 m
in height to allow for pallet, ramp and the
area of the unit itself.
■
Uneven Floors
In the case of uneven floors, we recommend
that you:
– have the unit set up by the service
department
or
– place a 1 cm thick aluminum plate,
62x62 cm under the unit. You will also
need a ramp for the aluminum plate.
Adjust the plate so that it is flat and
cannot wobble horizontally.
■
Remove accessories from the pallet
Firstly, remove the accessories (e. g. scan-
ning drum, cardboard covers) from the pal-
let.
Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the
screws securing the ramp. Then cut
through the retaining strap used as an
additional restraint.
The ramp will be needed later, so you
should place it near to the pallet for the
time being.

1–8 Edition October 1998
■ Initial use of transport rollers
Now turn the removed transport bracket
round and fit it on to 2 metal prongs. Make
sure that the bracket is really straight.
Tighten up the transport bracket up to the
stop on the attached bracket.
For this, you will need the 17 mm Allen
wrench and the M 10x60 screws from the
accessories box.
In this way, the rollers can be put into oper-
ation.
■
Making two further rollers ready for use
Using a 13 mm wrench, screw in the two
screws on the front side of the scanner as
far as the stop.
Screw in the screws to the stop!
In this way, the rollers come out
as far as possible so that the unit
feet are not damaged during
transport.
■
Now remove the two spacers exposed
under the base (two at the front, one at
the back).

TANGO / TANGO XL – Operation 1–9
■ Positioning the ramp
The ramp can be positioned at the front or
the back, as required.
Hook the ramp onto the pre-drilled holes of
pallet using the two prongs.
Now, with the ramp in place, you can pull
the scanner off the pallet from the front or
push it off from the back. Hold on to the
scanner so that it doesn’t roll down the
ramp by itself!
Note:
You will need a length of about 3 m for the
pallet, ramp and the area the unit covers
itself.
■
Push the scanner to the setting up site
You can now pull/push the scanner to its
intended final location.

1 Unpacking and Setting up
1–10 Edition October 1998
To negotiate bends, you can rotate the
scanner to the right direction by raising the
carrying plate on one side.
The location where the scanner is to be
used must ensure the following characteris-
tics:
Distance from the wall at least 50 cm
(in order to remove transport safeguards/
allow service access)
Ceiling height at least 2.20 m
(in order to raise the cover)
In the case of uneven floors, we recommend
that you:
– have the unit set up by the service
department
or
– place a 1 cm thick aluminum plate,
62x62 cm under the unit. You will also
need a ramp for the aluminum plate.
Adjust the plate so that it is flat and
cannot wobble horizontally.
In the case of slight degrees of unevenness,
you can adjust the feet for height later on.
Notes:
Pay attention to the length of the SCSI con-
nection cable between scanner and Power
Macintosh!
You must position the scanner very care-
fully at the final location.
You must not move the scanner when it is
standing on its own feet since they are not
suitable for this and could be damaged.
To be able to change the location at a later
date, the scanner must again be placed on
its transport rollers.
Pay attention to SCSI cable length

TANGO / TANGO XL – Operation 1–11
You should not locate the scanner in the
vicinity of air conditioning units and you
must protect it from humidity and direct
sunlight.
■ Retracting the transport rollers
Once the scanner has reached its final loca-
tion, the rollers must be retracted. To do
this, turn back the screws, until they rotate
freely. You will need a 13 mm wrench for
this.
The scanner must not be moved any more
from now on!
■
Removing the rear bracket
Now retract and then remove the bracket
with the rollers using the 17 mm wrench.

■ Removing transport safeguards for the
scanning head
Remove the 4 transport safeguards for the
scanning head by firstly unscrewing the 4
screws using a 10 mm wrench and then
removing the shims still attached with
adhesive tape.
Make sure that you do not let the screws
and shims fall into the unit.
Now pull the steel cable forwards and
remove the plastic block.
■
Removing the transport safeguard for the
focus motor (1) (for TANGO only, not for
TANGO XL) and the edge protection (2)
Remove the transport safeguard by pulling
it upwards. It ensures that the focus motor
does not become jammed in transport posi-
tion, thus preventing errors occurring dur-
ing installation.
Subsequently, remove the transparent edge
protection. For this purpose, you have to lift
off the lamp cover.

■ Removing the transparency arm trans-
port safeguard
Carefully remove the transport safeguard
which has been pushed onto the transpar-
ency arm.
■ Remove transport safeguard bar
Remove the transport safeguard bar at the
rear of the unit by pulling it out by hand.
■
Fit support
The scanner must not be assem-
bled without the support (safety
requirement)!
Using the 8 mm Allen wrench, fit the sup-
port to the scanner. This prevents it from
tipping over.
The support must not touch the floor after
assembly (important for scanner operation
– if necessary, adjust the unit’s feet, see
page 17 and onwards)!

1–16 Edition October 1998
■ Connecting the SCSI cable
Feed the SCSI cable from the back around
to the right of the unit through the special
cable slit and connect it to the electronics.
■Setting the SCSI address
On delivery, the scanner is set to SCSI
address number 5. If this address is already
occupied by another SCSI device, you can
select a different number between 1 - 6.
Numbers 0 and 7 as well as switch positions
8 - F are already allocated and cannot be
used. You will need a small Phillips screw-
driver to make the setting.
■Fitting and securing the front cover.
When fitting the front cover, you must make
sure that the 3 lugs engage at the top and
that the two elongated holes engage in the 2
yellow pins at the bottom. After that,
tighten the screw using a Phillips screw-
driver.

TANGO / TANGO XL – Operation 1–17
■Altering the height of the unit’s feet
The feet are factory-set to require no fur-
ther adjustment when the unit is on level
ground.
You can only achieve ideal stability for the
unit through altering the height of the
feet where deviations in floor level are min-
imal.
In the case of uneven floors, we recommend
that you:
– have the unit set up by the service
department
or
– place a 1 cm thick aluminum plate,
62x62 cm under the unit. You will also
need a ramp for the aluminum plate.
Adjust the plate so that it is flat and
cannot wobble horizontally.
The tendency to wobble must be equal on
all sides. You can check this, by trying to
make the unit wobble diagonally.
If the wobble tendency is greater on one
side than on the other, you can correct this
by increasing the height of the rear foot, on
the side that the unit tends to lean to.
