2. Before Operating the Scanner  
2.1 Power Supply Precautions  
In order to use the ScanTouch 210 safely and correctly, and to prevent  
problems, pay careful attention to the following points:  
Be sure to use an AC100V-120V/AC 200V - 240V, 50/60Hz power  
supply. The power cord should be changed according to the power  
voltage.  
When using a power voltage of more than AC 125V  
Use a suitable power cord compliant with the safety standards of the  
country in which it is used, with a plug of AC 250V, 15A rating  
(NEMA 6P-15), and insulation of at least SVT type and more than  
AWG18 in thickness.  
When using a power voltage of AC 125V or less  
Use a suitable power cord compliant with the safety standards of the  
country in which it is used, with a plug of AC 125V, 10A rating and  
insulation of at least SVT type and more than AWG18 in thickness.  
Be sure that the electrical outlet of the power supply is grounded.  
Carry out the grounding in common with the other machines it is  
being connected with. Unless common grounding is used, a ground  
loop will occur, which will cause electric shock and noise static.  
* The shape of the plug depends on the country of use.

SCSI Chain Connection with Other Devices  
If your ScanTouch is connected at the end of the SCSI chain, install the  
supplied terminator to the other SCSI connector on the rear of  
ScanTouch. If your ScanTouch is connected between the other SCSI  
devices, no terminator on ScanTouch is necessary.  
Since the terminator is built into the host computer in most cases, the  
host computer should be at the end of the SCSI chain. Some notebook  
computers require a terminator to be attached outside the computer;  
please refer to the operation manual for the computer.  
Note: The SCSI cable used for SCSI connection should be of high-  
impedance type.

4. Connecting the Scanner  
Remarks  
The maximum number of SCSI devices that can be connected to one  
computer is eight including the CPU. When using the scanner with  
a host computer with a built-in SCSI hard disk or built-in CD-ROM,  
note that SCSI ID numbers have been preassigned for the host CPU  
and the SCSI devices.  
The SCSI cable must not be extended beyond a total length of 19  
feet (6 meters), or else failure may result.  
Terminators must be attached to the devices located at both ends of  
the SCSI chain.  
If the host computer is a Macintosh, the Macintosh itself will  
provide termination at one end of the chain.  
If the host computer is an IBM PC/AT or compatible, equipped with  
a SCSI board, the SCSI board itself will provide termination at one  
end of the chain.  
Note that when a SCSI chain connection is made inside a computer,  
the end of the SCSI device inside the computer will become the end  
terminal.  
Before installing a SCSI board, be sure to read the user’s manual  
provided with the board. The numbers for the I/O address, interrupt  
level (INT) and DMA channel might conflict with other interface  
boards and peripheral devices. If so, change them as explained in  
the manual.

4. Connecting the Scanner  
4.4 Setting the SCSI ID  
The SCSI ID for the ScanTouch 210 is set at “5” when the unit is  
shipped. If other SCSI devices are connected to your computer, make  
sure that the SCSI ID for the ScanTouch 210 is different from those  
assigned to other SCSI devices.  
Note that in the case of a host computer which has a built-in SCSI hard  
disk or built-in CD-ROM, the ID numbers of the host CPU and each  
SCSI device have already been assigned.  
If the IDs are duplicated, you must change the ID number of the other  
SCSI device or of the ScanTouch 210 to avoid any conflict.  
Remarks  
To change the ID, confirm that the scanner power is off. The ID  
cannot be changed when the power is on.  
Do not use SCSI ID 8 and 9 or A through F on your scanner. They  
are for factory use only.  
As 7 has been assigned for the CPU and 0 has been assigned to the  
built-in hard disk for a Macintosh, and 0 and 7 have also been  
assigned to other personal computer systems, any number from 1 to  
6 is recommended for the ID number.  
If conflicting ID numbers are assigned, your system might not  
function, or important data on the hard disk might be destroyed. It  
is therefore essential to check the ID numbers carefully before  
connecting the scanner.

For scanning transparency films for OHPs (overhead  
transparencies), place a sheet of white paper on top.  
If the document is curled or creased, make sure that it is  
straightened and flattened before setting it in position.  
If the paper has staples or clips attached, make sure they do not  
scratch the surface of the glass.

6. Maintenance  
6. Maintenance  
With the exception of periodic cleaning or lamp replacement, the  
scanner is virtually maintenance free. The following sections give the  
procedures for basic maintenance of the scanner.  
6.1 Static Electricity Precautions  
Static electricity is a constant danger to computer systems. The charge  
that can build up in your body may be strong enough to damage  
electronic components on the scanner’s printed circuit board or the  
computer’s interface card. Therefore, it is important to observe basic  
precautions whenever handling electronic components for your  
computer. Although areas with high humidity are much less prone to  
static electricity, it is best to always take precautions against accidental  
damage that can result in expensive repairs.  
The following measures should generally be enough to protect your  
equipment from static discharge.  
Discharge any static electricity that may have built up in your body by  
touching a grounded or antistatic surface. For example, touch some  
large metal object or the silver-toned expansion slot covers at the rear  
of your computer’s case. Be sure to do this immediately before  
removing any components from their antistatic bag.  
When handling any electronic components, be sure to carefully avoid  
touching any metal part of the component. Avoid touching any of the  
gold “fingers” that plug into the expansion slot. It is best to handle  
system components either by their edges or by the mounting bracket  
which attaches to the slot opening in the rear of the case.  
Follow the above to the best of your ability. Excessive caution is not  
necessary, simply take reasonable care.

6. Maintenance  
6.2 Cleaning  
Regularly cleaning the document setting glass will ensure that dirt or  
smudges will not reduce the quality of your scanned images. Before  
you clean the glass, make sure the scanner is turned off and the power  
cord is unplugged.  
Clean the document setting glass and document cover with a soft damp  
cloth and a mild detergent.  
Note: Avoid spraying the cleaning fluid directly on the glass, as this  
may cause the liquid to penetrate the seams around the glass and  
contaminate the mirrors and lenses inside the scanner. Please be sure  
to spray the liquid on the cleaning cloth and then wipe the glass clean.

7. Troubleshooting  
7. Troubleshooting  
When irregularities occur, please check the following items before you  
assume that there is a unit failure. For more details, refer to the  
Troubleshooting section of the software manual.  
If the Power indicator fails to come on  
Make sure the power cable is plugged into the scanner and a wall  
socket.  
Make sure the power switch is on.

7. Troubleshooting  
If the Power and Ready indicators come on, but software  
returns “scanner link failed”, or a similar message  
1. Make sure the cable is connected properly.  
2. Check the Installation procedure to make sure you followed all of  
the instructions. Macintosh users should pay special attention to the  
setting of the SCSI ID number. PC users should pay special  
attention to the I/O address setting.  
3. Disconnect all SCSI devices and then reconnect them one by one,  
beginning with the scanner, to identify the device that is causing the  
problem.  
4. Check the terminators and the cables. If the cable and terminators  
are all properly installed, please contact your dealer.  
Note: If you are having intermittent problems either with the link  
between the scanner and your computer or are having intermittent  
problems with the results of your scans, try installing an external SCSI  
terminator.
