60° and 104°F (10°C and 40°C).
• Keep the relative humidity in the scanner operating area between 10% and 85%.
• Avoid connecting the scanner to a power source that might experience power surges.
• Avoid positioning the scanner in the path of heavy traffic where it may get bumped.
• Your scanner should be placed within 3 feet of the computer. Use the SCSI cable that
came with your scanner.
Once the scanner has been placed in a suitable location and is ready to be connected to
the host computer, it is time to proceed to installing the necessary hardware and software
components for the scanner.

need to ship the scanner again.
Upon opening the scanner box, you will see a Packing List that lists both hardware and
software components of your scanner package, as well as the part numbers for those
components.
If any component is missing, call Microtek Sales and provide information on the missing
component and part number. Please be ready to provide the scanner's serial number and
your proof of purchase as well. Keep the Packing List for your reference in case you need
to order a component in the future.
Note:Note:
Note:Note:
Note: If you need to ship back the scanner for any repairs, the scanner must be packed

Checking the SCSI ID
A SCSI ID is a number assigned to each SCSI device in your daisy chain to differentiate
the devices from one another.
The SCSI ID for Microtek scanners is set at default to 6. You won't need to change the
SCSI ID on your scanner unless another SCSI device on your system (such as a ZIP drive
orCD-ROMdrive)is usingthesamenumber.
CAUTION
+

To setthe SCSIID number:
Locate the SCSI ID selector, which is on the back panel. To change the SCSI ID, press the
push-button selector.
NotesonSCSIIDnumbers
• EachSCSIdevicemusthaveauniqueSCSIIDnumber.
• Valid SCSI ID numbers are 0 to 6. Do not use SCSI ID #7, which is used to carry a self-
test for the scanner and make the carriage move back and forth. SCSI ID #8 and #9 are
also not used.

Powering up
A. Connecting the scanner to the power source
Connect the scanner to a voltage source directly by using the supplied power cord. Make
sure that the power outlet will not be overloaded when the scanner is turned on, and
ensure that other devices requiring significant power are not plugged into the same
outlet. Ideally, no other devices should share the scanner’s power source.
B.Performingthepower-onself-test
The power-on test is a quick self-checking mechanism that the scanner carries out after
you turn it on.
This is what happens after the scanner is turned on:
1. Close the Front Cover.
NoteNote
NoteNote
Note: This step is a must. Without closing the Front Cover, your scanner stays at the
Not Ready state.
Front Cover

ArtixScan 4500t Installation and Operation Manual 7
English
2. Switch the power on. The POWER indicator on the front panel of the scanner lights up.
3. The READY indicator beside the POWER indicator flashes briefly. After a 30-second
warm-up period, the scanner carries out a self-test, with the scanner carriage moving
back and forth about a half-inch. If no problems are detected, the READY indicator
stayslit.
4. The fluorescent lamp inside the scanner should be on too by this time. The lamp should
never go off while the scanner is on.

The ArtixScan 4500t installation procedure includes 4 steps:
Step1:InstallingSCSIcard
Step 2: Connecting your scanner
Step3: Usingterminator
Step 4: Installing software
Step 1: Installing SCSI card
If your system is SCSI-ready, go to “Step 2: Connecting your scanner” directly to connect
yourcomputer.If yoursystem is not theSCSI-ready, you willneed to install aSCSI card.
Forthe Macintosh:
Install SCSI card if the Mac has no built-in SCSI interface
1. Shut down your Macintosh computer and peripherals, unplug the power cord. Next,
open your computer.
2. Look for an available PCI card slot (typically
whiteor ivory) inyour computer. Remove
the slot cover, and insert the PCI SCSI card
into the slot. Push the card in to make sure it
isseated allthe wayin the slot.This is
important, as an improper card connection
will make you unable to use your scanner,
and you will then have to remove the
computer case and reinsert the card.
3. Close the computer, then plug the power
cord back in.
For the PC:
Install SCSI card under Windows 95, 98, 2000 and NT
1. Turn off your PC and peripherals, then unplug the power cord. Next, remove the cover
from your computer.
2. Before handling the interface card, touch a metal frame (such as your computer casing)
to discharge any static electricity buildup in your body.

SCSI Card

ArtixScan 4500t Installation and Operation Manual 9
English
3. Look for an available PCI card slot in your computer, then
insert the PCI SCSI card (such as the Adaptec AVA-2903E) into
the slot. Push the card in to make sure it is seated all the way
in the slot, then put the screw back into the bracket.
Proper card connection is important, as an improper card
connection will make you unable to use your scanner, and you
will then have to remove the computer case and start the
process of card insertion all over again.
4. Replace the cover of the computer, then plug the power cord back in.
5. Turnyour PC back on.
Checktheinterfacecard driverunder Windows95/98/2000
With the new SCSI card installed in your computer, when Windows starts, the card is
detected and the driver is automatically installed. You may be asked to insert your
Windows CD-ROM. Do so, and follow the steps below to check your card status.

Step 3: Using terminator
If you are connecting the scanner in a daisy chain to other SCSI devices (such as a CD-
ROMdrive), take note of thefollowing:
1. If the scanner is the last device on the SCSI chain, set the internal terminator switch on
the back of the scanner to the “ON” position. There is no need to install an external
terminator on any of the other SCSI devices on the chain.
ON OFF
2. If the scanner is not the last device on the SCSI chain:
• Make sure the internal terminator switch located at the back of the scanner is set to
the “OFF” position.
• Make sure the last device on the SCSI chain is terminated.

Note: For best results, the area around the film should be covered so that no light
can go through the glass around the sides of the film.
• The maximum scanning area is 3.8" x 4.8", so trim a piece of black paper to 3.8" x
4.8".
• Cut out a hole in the paper and make the cutout big enough so that the film
underneath shows through. The black paper should then cover the perimeter of
