You may have received additional third-party software with your scanner.

Choosing a SCSI cable

The Apple Color OneScanner connects to your Macintosh through a Small

Computer System Interface (SCSI) cable (pronounced “SKUH-zee”). This

cable provides for high-speed communication between the computer and a

SCSI device, or devices, connected to the computer.

You will need to purchase a SCSI cable to connect your Apple Color

OneScanner to the Macintosh. If you have a Macintosh IIfx, you also need a

special terminator. For more information about connecting the scanner to a

Macintosh IIfx or PowerBook computer, see Appendix C.

Apple recommends that you purchase only Apple-brand SCSI cables, which

are properly shielded for trouble-free operation. You can purchase SCSI

terminators and cables from your authorized Apple reseller.

Chapter 2

To connect the scanner directly to the Macintosh

To connect the scanner directly to your Macintosh computer, you need a SCSI

system cable.

SCSI system cable (one end

is smaller than the other)

To connect the scanner at the end of a SCSI chain

If you already have an external SCSI device (such as a SCSI hard disk drive)

attached to your Macintosh computer, Apple recommends that you connect

the scanner at the end of the SCSI chain.

To make this connection, you need a SCSI peripheral cable.

SCSI peripheral cable

To use a different arrangement (configuration)

For information about connecting the scanner in the middle of a SCSI chain,

see Appendix C, “Assembling a SCSI Chain.”

Setting Up the Scanner

Choosing the right location

Before you set up the scanner, choose a work area that’s convenient for you

and that meets the physical requirements of the scanner:

m a level, stable surface, such as a desk or table

m a grounded three-pin power outlet

m space around the scanner for easy access to the on/off switch

Allow clearance

above the scanner so

the top cover opens easily.

Allow enough space

at the back of the

scanner for the

power cord and

SCSI connectors.

Leave enough room to place

large originals on the

scanner glass.

On/off switch

Environmental considerations

m Make sure you allow space for adequate ventilation so the scanner does not

overheat.

m If relative humidity is low, use a humidifier or an antistatic mat to avoid

electrostatic buildup. Avoid dusty areas, places where the scanner will be

exposed to salty air or corrosive gases, and locations where temperature

and humidity levels vary significantly.

m Avoid placing the scanner in direct sunlight or exposing it to open flames.

m Place the scanner on a surface that is free from vibrations.

Chapter 2

Safety precautions

m Don’t place the scanner where anyone can walk on the power cord, and do

not allow anything to rest on the cord. If you must use an extension cord,

be sure the total length of the power cord plus the extension cord is not

greater than 16.5 feet (5 meters).

m Keep the scanner away from equipment that might cause electromagnetic

or radio frequency interference, such as radio transmitters, cordless

telephone base units, television sets, copy machines, and heating and

air-conditioning equipment.

Carrying the scanner

The Apple Color OneScanner is a complex electronic device. Handle the

scanner carefully as you set it up.

To car ry the scanner:

Make sure the scanner carriage is locked.

For information, refer to “Locking and Unlocking the Scanner,” later in

this chapter.

Grasp the scanner by its side edges, toward the back:

Setting Up the Scanner

Setting the SCSI ID number and termination

Yo u m a y not need this step. You can skip this topic if

m the scanner is the only external SCSI device to be connected to your

Macintosh

m you’re setting the scanner up as the last device in a SCSI chain

If you need to change the SCSI ID number or termination setting, do so after

you review this topic and before you connect any cables.

About the SCSI ID number

A SCSI ID selector on the back of the scanner identifies the Macintosh port

through whic

About SCSI termination

The SCSI selector on the Apple Color OneScanner also works as a selector

for internal SCSI termination. Termination is set to “on” at the factory.

If the scanner is the only SCSI device connected to your Macintosh or if you

place the scanner as the last device in a SCSI chain, the “on” setting is correct

and doesn’t need to be changed.

If the scanner is one device in a SCSI chain, but not the last device, you must

turn off termination. See Appendix C for details.

Connecting the scanner to your Macintosh

Yo u’re now ready to connect the scanner to your Macintosh computer.

If you’re connecting the scanner to a Macintosh PowerBook, see the manual

that came with your computer for instructions on connecting SCSI devices.

WARNING Before you begin, make sure that the power to the scanner,

your computer, and any connected devices is switched off. If the power

is on while you connect or disconnect SCSI cables, you can damage the

system.

If you need to connect more than one SCSI device to your computer,

follow the instructions above or those in Appendix C, “Assembling a

SCSI Chain.” Correct placement of the devices and the cable terminator

(if one is required) is important. You can damage your equipment if you

connect the devices the wrong way.

Setting Up the Scanner

Connecting the SCSI cable

Follow these steps to connect the scanner directly to your computer.

Plug the large end of the SCSI cable into the back of the scanner, and push the retaining

clips into the tabs.

Align the holes in the socket end of the power cord with the pins of the power cord

socket on the back of the scanner.

Plug the socket end of the power cord into the pins on the scanner.

Plug the other end of the power cord into a standard electrical outlet that accepts a

three-pronged plug.

WARNING This equipment is intended to be electrically grounded. Your

Apple Color OneScanner is equipped with a three-wire grounding

plug—a plug that has a third (grounding) pin. This plug will fit only a

grounded AC outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert

the plug into the outlet, contact a licensed electrician to replace the

outlet with a properly grounded outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of the

grounding plug!

Chapter 2

Important safety information

Any electrical device, when operated improperly, can be hazardous. Before

you use your scanner, become familiar with these important safety

precautions:

m Don’t use the scanner near water.

m Use the power cord that is appropriate for use in the country in which you

use the scanner.

m Never drop or insert objects of any kind into the scanner.

m Never spill liquid of any kind on or into the scanner. Should an object or

liquid come into contact with high-voltage points inside the scanner, a fire

could occur, or you could be exposed to electrical shock.

m If liquid of any kind is accidentally spilled on or into the scanner,

immediately switch the power off and disconnect the power cord.

m Don’t allow young children to handle power cords or cables.

m Be careful not to drop the scanner or allow it to collide with other objects.

Where to go from here

Yo u’v e now completed the hardware part of scanner setup. The next step is to

install the scanner software. See Chapter 3, “Installing the Scanner Software,”

for instructions.

Setting Up the Scanner

Installing the Scanner Software

This chapter tells you how to install the software you need to use the Apple

Color OneScanner. You’ll find instructions for

m installing the Apple OneScanner Dispatcher application and related

software

m installing the Apple Color OneScanner plug-in module for use with a

compatible graphics application

m assigning the Xerox TextBridge application for use with the scanner

software

m installing Kai’s Power Tools and Convolver plug-ins from MetaTools

(plug-in filters which come with the Color OneScanner 1200/30)

About the disks

To i nsta ll the scanner software, you need the disks that came with your

scanner (in the accessory kit). You should have two disks: OneScanner

Dispatcher Disk 1 and Disk 2. These disks contain

m the Installer, a system program you use to install everything you need to

use the scanner

m the scanner driver

m a Read Me file, which provides information available too late to be

included in this manual, and the SimpleText application program for

viewing the Read Me file

m ColorSync, a system program that records color information about scanned

images so the colors stay consistent in different applications and on

different devices, such as printers and monitors

Most of the files on these disks are compressed. To install them, you must use

the Installer.

Your scanner package may include additional software. If you want to install

and use the software, see the on-disk documentation that comes with the

software for installation and user instructions.

IMPORTANT Apple recommends that you make backup copies of the disks and

store the originals in a safe place. If you need instructions for copying disks,

see your Macintosh user’s manual.

Installing the scanner software

To i nsta ll the scanner software and start scanning, remember that you

need at least 20 MB of space available on your hard disk. You must have

system software version 7.5 or a later version to use the scanner with your

Macintosh computer.

Note: If you’re using a system with 8 MB of RAM, Apple recommends that

you turn on Virtual Memory.

To i nsta ll the software:

Turn off any automatic virus-detection programs and restart your Macintosh computer.

If you leave these programs on, problems may occur. You can turn the virus-

detection programs back on after installation is complete.

Insert OneScanner Dispatcher Disk 1 into a floppy disk drive.

If necessary, open the icon for OneScanner Dispatcher Disk 1. A window

appears, showing the contents of the disk.

Chapter 3

Double-click the Installer icon.

After a welcome screen appears (click Continue), an installation dialog

box opens.

Easy Install: Apple recommends that you use the Easy Install process for

your scanner software. Easy Install places all necessary files on your hard disk

and updates any existing files as needed.

Custom installations: The Installer has a custom feature that allows you to

choose specific items from a list and have them installed. To use this feature,

click Easy Install in the Install dialog box to open a pop-up menu, and choose

Custom Install. Then follow the instructions on the screen.

Click Install and follow the instructions on the screen.

A status box keeps you informed of progress during installation.

When the process is complete, a message tells you that installation was successful.

Installing the Scanner Software

If the scanner is not on, switch it on.

Click Restart.

Installing the plug-in module for use by other applications

The Apple Color OneScanner plug-in module allows you to scan images

directly into applications compatible with Adobe Photoshop plug-ins. The

user’s manual for your application will tell you where the application requires

you to place the plug-in module.

Before you install the plug-in modules, you must install the Apple Color

OneScanner software, as described earlier in this chapter.

To i nsta ll the plug-in module for use by another application:

Open the Apple Color OneScanner folder (the one you just installed on your hard disk).

Plug-ins folder

Open the Plug-ins folder, select the plug-in icon, and choose Duplicate or Make Alias

from the File menu (Finder).

A copy or an alias of the plug-in module is created. (An alias takes up no

space on your disk, a big advantage. For information about using aliases, see

your Macintosh user’s manual or Apple Guide, Apple’s online help.)

Move the copy or the alias to the location you want.

The original plug-in must remain in the Plug-in folder in the Apple Color

OneScanner folder or you will not be able to create new scans with the

OneScanner Dispatcher application.

Chapter 3

Drag the copy of the Apple Color OneScanner plug-in icon to the folder suggested by the

user’s manual for your graphics application.

When the plug-in icon is where you want it, delete the word “copy” and the space before

the word.

If the user’s manual for your application suggests a restart, restart your computer.

You can now scan images directly into the graphics application.

Assigning the Xerox TextBridge 3.0H application to the Dispatcher

The TextBridge application, from Xerox Imaging Systems, Inc., analyzes an

image of scanned text and converts each character into a form of text a

computer can recognize. This process of text conversion is called optical

character recognition (OCR).

The TextBridge OCR application comes with the Apple Color OneScanner.

You may have other OCR software that you prefer to use. The instructions

that follow work for any compatible OCR application.

To assign the TextBridge application for use with the Apple Color

OneScanner:

First, install the TextBridge application on your Macintosh computer.

Follow the instructions in the TextBridge user’s manual.

Open the Apple Color OneScanner folder and double-click the OneScanner

Dispatcher icon.

Installing the Scanner Software

The Dispatcher window opens on the Macintosh desktop.

Drag-and-drop icons

Yo u’ll find complete information about using the Dispatcher window in

Chapter 4, “Scanning Images.” For now, continue following these steps to

assign TextBridge to the Dispatcher.

In the Dispatcher window, double-click the icon labeled Unassigned OCR.

A dialog box opens.

Move through folders (and disks, if necessary) to find the TextBridge application.

Chapter 3

Double-click the TextBridge application name, or select the name and click Select.

The dialog box closes. TextBridge appears as the OCR icon.

Drag-and-drop icons

Like the other icons in this area of the Dispatcher window, the OCR icon is a

drag-and-drop icon. To move text images into your OCR application, drag

them to the OCR icon. For more information, see Chapter 6, “Scanning Text.”

Setting up ColorSync

ColorSync is a system extension that helps maintain color consistency among

different devices, such as scanners, monitors, and printers.

ColorSync is not turned on when you install the scanner software. If you want

to use ColorSync as you work, you must turn it on and set preferences. For

information, see “Setting ColorSync Preferences” in Chapter 5.

Installing the Scanner Software

Installing Kai’s Power Tools and Convolver

Kai’s Power Tools and Convolver are plug-in modules that provide filters

compatible with Adobe PhotoShop and similar applications. To install

these applications, follow the instructions in the user’s manuals that came

with them.

During installation, a dialog box appears that lets you select the Plug-Ins

folder (inside the Apple Color OneScanner folder) as the correct destination

for the new plug-in modules.

If you also need to place these plug-in modules in a special folder for an

application you are using, make copies or aliases of the modules. Then drag

the copies or aliases to the application’s folder. (For details, see the user’s

manual for that application.) It is important to leave the original plug-in

modules in the Plug-Ins folder inside the Apple Color OneScanner folder.

Where to go from here

Yo u’v e now completed the installation of the scanner hardware and software.

Will you be using the scanner only for images?

m For a quick overview of the scanner software, see the Quick Start card for

the OneScanner Dispatcher application.

What you can scan

You can scan almost anything you can put on the scanner glass:

m photographs and flat art

m drawings and calligraphy

m line art

m bound documents such as magazines and books

You should be aware of a few limitations:

m You cannot completely scan an item that is larger than 8.5 by 11.7 inches.

The optional Automatic Document Feeder extends the scanning area to 8.5

by 14 inches.

m You cannot scan items that weigh more than 4.4 lb. (2 kg). Heavier items

may damage the scanner glass.

m It is illegal to scan certain official and copyrighted documents. Please see

“Copyright Regulations (USA)” at the end of this chapter for a summary of

restrictions in the United States.

Te x t and optical character recognition: You can scan printed text and convert

the image to text that can be read by a computer. To do this, you need special

optical character recognition (OCR) software. Xerox TextBridge 3.0H OCR

software comes with the Apple Color OneScanner. For an introduction to

TextBridge, see Chapter 6, “Scanning Text,” in this manual. For information

about using TextBridge, see the TextBridge user’s manual.

Chapter 4

How the OneScanner Dispatcher application is organized

The Dispatcher window is the control center for your scanning activities.

Buttons

You use the buttons on the top half of the Dispatcher window to scan

new images, send new images to your printer or a fax application, open

and edit images you’ve already scanned and saved, and view images in

thumbnail form.

Example: If you have a letter on the scanner glass and want to fax the letter,

you use the Scan Router button to send the scanned image of the letter to your

fax application.

Scanning Images

Drag-and-drop icons

You use the icons on the bottom half of the Dispatcher window to drag and

drop saved images you want to send to a printer, a fax application, an optical

character recognition (OCR) application, or an application you add, such as a

graphics application.

Example: You may have an archive full of images you’ve scanned. If you want

to fax one of the images, you simply drag the image’s thumbnail from an

image archive and drop the thumbnail onto the Fax icon. Your fax application

opens, allowing you to address and transmit the fax without going through a

separate operation.

Chapter 4

Scanning with automatic settings

The OneScanner Dispatcher application comes preset to scan most color and

black-and-white originals. For your first scanned images, you may wish to

Assigning a fax application to the Dispatcher

Before you can use the scanner for faxing, you must assign the driver for your

fax application to the Dispatcher. (If you have a fax modem or fax machine

connected to your computer, use the driver that came with it.)

In the Dispatcher window, click the Fax drag-and-drop icon.

In the dialog box that appears, find the driver for your fax application.

The Dispatcher takes you to the Extensions folder where your fax driver

should be.

Faxing or printing directly from the scanner

You can place a document on the scanner glass and send its image directly to

your fax application where you can then address and transmit the new image.

(If you have a fax modem or fax machine connected to your computer, use the

application that came with it.) Or, you can send the image to your printer.

Example: Sign or mark up an incoming fax that you’ve printed, scan the

marked-up original, and transmit the revised image to your fax application.

Put the original document on the scanner glass and close the scanner cover.

If necessary, start the OneScanner Dispatcher application by double-clicking its icon.

The Dispatcher window opens.

Click Scan Router.

In the Scan Router dialog box that appears, click an Image option to specify the type

of image.

For text and simple line drawings, choose Text/Line Art.

Click Fax or Copy.

Printing (Copy): The Print dialog box opens. Specify the number of copies

you want, set any other options, and click Print.

The original is scanned and sent to your fax application or currently

chosen printer.

No image document created: When you fax or print an image using the Scan

Router, an image document (file) is not created. The scanner simply sends

the new image to the fax application or printer. To fax or print the image

again, you must rescan it.

Opening a saved image from an archive

Images you scan into the Macintosh using the Color OneScanner and

Dispatcher are stored in folders called archives. Archives contain images and

Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) files shown as thumbnails—little

sketches that represent full-size images.

Thumbnails in an archive

This thumbnail is an HTML document.

You can drag-and-drop this thumbnail

on assigned applications that read

and support HTML.

Chapter 4

Adding your own drag-and-drop applications

To speed up your work, you can add an application you frequently use to the

unassigned drag-and-drop icons. You can then send an image to the

application by dragging a saved image onto the icon and dropping it there.

Example: You may routinely rework scanned images in the MacDraw^®Pro

application. Ordinarily, you must scan an image, copy it, and paste it into a

MacDraw Pro document. With a MacDraw Pro drag-and-drop icon, you can

simply scan and save a series of images and then drag the thumbnails, one by

one, onto the icon. MacDraw Pro automatically opens the image in a new

document.

To add your own drag-and-drop application:

If necessary, open the Dispatcher window.

Unassigned

drag-and-drop icon

Click one of the icons labeled Unassigned.

A dialog box opens.

Scanning Images

Move through folders (and hard disks, if necessary) to find the application you want

to add.

The application you select must support drag-and-drop behavior and must be

able to open documents in formats supported by the Dispatcher (such as

PICT and TIFF).

Application you

want to add

Double-click the application name, or select the name and click Select.

The dialog box closes. The application’s icon appears in the previously

unassigned icon.

You can now use the icon to drag and drop scanned images.

Chapter 4

Scanning directly into a graphics application

The OneScanner Dispatcher application comes with the Apple Color

OneScanner plug-in module. A plug-in is a software module that extends an

application for a specific purpose, such as importing scanned images.

IMPORTANT If you haven’t already installed the Apple Color OneScanner plug-

in module, see “Installing the Plug-In Module for Use by Other Applications”

in Chapter 3.

With the plug-in module and a compatible graphics application, you can scan

directly into a document without creating and saving an image with the

OneScanner Dispatcher application.

Example: You can use the Adobe Photoshop Acquire command to scan an

image directly into an Adobe Photoshop document.

For information about installing and using the scanner plug-in module with

your graphics applications, see Chapter 3, “Installing the Scanner Software,”

and the manual for your graphics application.

Note: The following steps are intended as a general example. Your

application may work differently.

Open the application you want to use.

Choose the application’s Acquire command.

Scanning Images

Choose Apple Color OneScanner (the plug-in module) as the source of the acquisition.

The Apple Color OneScanner dialog box opens.

preview image and then

click Scan.

Click Preview, and change scanner options if necessary.

For information, see “Scanning with Automatic Settings,” earlier in

this chapter.

Click Scan.

The image is scanned and inserted in a new document for the application.

Chapter 4

Scanning with custom settings

After you’ve scanned a number of images, you may want to customize the

settings in the Apple Color OneScanner dialog box. This section provides

detailed information about settings for resolution, tone, and threshold.

Setting the resolution

The level of detail in a scanned image is determined by the number of dots

per inch (dpi) the scanner uses to reproduce an image. The number of dots

per inch defines the resolution.

Higher resolutions provide more detail. Accordingly, the quality of a scanned

image increases with higher resolution—but not always.

Things to think about when you set the resolution

Consider these factors when you choose a resolution:

m Each dot on the scanned image corresponds to a pixel on the computer

screen. The higher the resolution (the greater the number of dots per inch),

the larger the image appears on the screen.

m As resolution increases, you need more memory and disk space to scan and

store the image on your hard disk drive. Sometimes the extra resolution

may not be worth the extra memory or disk space.

m When you choose a resolution, check the Image Info area for image size

before you scan.

m Scanning at a higher resolution may not necessarily produce better results

because the printer or other output device (such as a monitor) may not

reproduce the higher resolution. For example, a monitor may display an

image at 72 dpi, even though the image is at 600 dpi. In general, choose

the lowest dpi setting that will meet your needs.

m Large images take longer to print, and the quality of the printed version is

still limited by the capabilities of the printer.

m Large images take longer to scan, save, view, and manipulate.

Scanning Images

Recommended resolutions for maximum efficiency

The chart below shows the settings that Apple recommends for the output

devices listed. Keep in mind that an image scanned at a higher resolution will

require more memory and take longer to scan and print.

Chapter 4

Changing the tone (brightness and contrast)

You can improve the appearance of a scanned image by adjusting the tone

before you scan the image. To n e is a measure of brightness and contrast—the

intensity of blacks and whites, or colors, in a scanned image.

The way your monitor is set up affects the way an image appears on the

screen. For information, see your monitor manual.

Brightness

Brightness determines the overall lightness of a scanned image.

m With increased brightness, the scanned image generated by the scanner

will be lighter.

m With decreased brightness, the scanned image will be darker.

Contrast

Contrast is a measure of differences between light and dark tones.

m With increased contrast, all light tones become increasingly lighter, and all

dark tones become increasingly darker at the same rate.

m With decreased contrast, all light tones become increasingly darker, and all

dark tones become increasingly lighter at the same rate.

To cha nge the tone of a scanned image:

In the Dispatcher window, click Scan to open the Apple Color OneScanner dialog box.

Click Preview.

Drag to select the portion of the image you want to scan.

Select a sample from the Select a Range options.

Brightness From left to right, the tone variations show brightness from darker

to lighter.

Contrast From top to bottom, the variations show contrast from less to more.

When you click one of the variations, the preview changes and the variations

themselves are readjusted, using your recent selection as a new starting point.

The Fine Tune view changes to reflect your choice in the center panel,

outlined in red.

To fine-tune the tone, drag the Brightness and Contrast sliders to change the settings.

The Fine Tune view shows the effects of any changes you make.

Cloning

A clone is a duplicate of a small part of an image. You can use the clone to

edit flaws in an image, painting it into an image at a different location.

When you paint the clone back in, the painting starts at a reference point that

you define. This is easier to do than to explain, but here is an example.

Example: Suppose you’ve scanned a picture of a building and you want to

cover a certain feature, such as a fountain, with another portion of the image,

such as a group of shrubs. You want to repeat the shrub portion of the image

without the sharp cut-out image of a copied-and-pasted selection.

To clone an image and repeat it:

Click the clone tool.

Chapter 5

Press the Option key and then click the spot you want to serve as a reference point for

the clone.

In the example, you’d click a point in the shrubbery.

Option-click here (for example),

so you can clone the shrubbery

and cover up the fountain spray.

Move the clone tool over the point at which you want the image to begin repeating, then

start dragging.

In the example, you’d start dragging (painting) at a point somewhere near the

fountain. As you drag, the image begins to appear, starting with the reference

point.

The clone appears

as you paint.

Setting ColorSync preferences

Different devices—scanners, printers, and monitors, for example—reproduce

different ranges of colors. ColorSync is a color management system that

allows applications and device drivers to produce consistent color across

different devices.

ColorSync stores information about various devices in profiles. Profiles are

dictionaries that contain color information about a specific device. ColorSync

is an Apple system extension. You can switch ColorSync on and off and select

the appropriate ColorSync profile for your scanner when necessary.

To se t ColorSync preferences:

With the OneScanner Dispatcher application open, choose ColorSync Preferences from

the Image menu.

The ColorSync Preferences dialog box opens.

An X in the checkbox

means ColorSync

is on.

Choose your model of the Color

OneScanner from this pop-up menu.

Choose the scanner model you want to use from the Use Scanner Profile pop-up menu.

If you are using the optional Transparent Media Adapter with the Color

OneScanner 1200/30, choose the ColorSync profile for the medium you are

scanning:

m Color OneScanner Flatbed for magazines, paper, other opaque originals

m Color OneScanner Positive for positive transparencies

m Color OneScanner Negative for negatives

Without the correct profile, you may not be satisfied with the resulting image

quality. If you change media, be sure to change the ColorSync profile.

Click OK to close the dialog box, or click Cancel to leave preferences the way they were.

Scanning Text

An optical character recognition (OCR) program such as Xerox TextBridge

analyzes scanned text and converts each character into a form of text a

computer can recognize.

This chapter is a brief introduction to text scanning. You’ll learn

m how to scan a text document for use with the TextBridge application

m how to use the OneScanner Dispatcher application to send a saved text

image to the TextBridge application

Be sure you use the version of TextBridge that comes with your scanner. This

version has an OCR-to-HTML converter so you can save files in HTML

format.

Xerox TextBridge application

in a drag-and-drop icon

Scanning a text document into the TextBridge application

Yo u’ ll find OCR scanning especially useful if you have many documents that

need to be moved onto the computer for storage or information-retrieval

(search) purposes.

After the text is converted, you can copy and paste—or import—the text into

a word-processing or desktop publishing document. There you can edit and

revise the text without retyping.

To use TextBr idge, you must complete two procedures:

m First install the TextBridge software, following instructions in the user’s

manual for TextBridge.

m Then you must assign TextBridge to the Dispatcher. For instructions, see

“Assigning the Xerox TextBridge 3.0H Application to the Dispatcher” in

Chapter 3 of this manual.

Optional Automatic Document Feeder: An optional Automatic Document

Feeder is available from your authorized Apple dealer. This device increases

productivity by automatically feeding up to 20 pages into the scanner. If you

already have an Automatic Document Feeder, see Chapter 9, “Using the

Automatic Document Feeder,” for information on setup, use, and

maintenance.

To sca n for OCR:

Put the text original on the scanner glass and close the scanner cover, or place the

originals in the document feeder.

If necessary, start the OneScanner Dispatcher application by double-clicking its icon.

The Dispatcher window opens:

Moving a text image to the TextBridge application

After a text image is scanned, you can rename it or accept the automatically

numbered image. When you’ve scanned and saved an image, you can send the

image to the TextBridge application.

Note: You can use TextBridge as a stand-alone application. It is not required

to use it through the Color OneScanner Dispatcher.

To se nd a saved text image to TextBridge:

If necessary, open the Dispatcher window.

Continue button one or more times to get to the next step.

In the “Add pages and continue” dialog box, select your document and click Continue.

In the Save Output As dialog box that appears, select a Dispatcher archive folder,

choose HTML from the Text pop-up menu, type a name for the file, and click Continue.

TextBridge optical character recognition converts the file to text and saves the

image in HTML format.

When you are finished converting images, quit the TextBridge application.

The document appears as an HTML thumbnail in the Dispatcher archive. You

can now drag and drop the HTML thumbnail to applications in the

Dispatcher that support and read HTML files, such as web-authoring

applications.

Note: TextBridge converts images to text and saves them as HTML files but

does not read HTML files.

Scanner Maintenance

Your Apple Color OneScanner needs little maintenance, except for occasional

cleaning. Follow the guidelines in this chapter to keep the scanner working

properly.

Cleaning the scanner

To cle a n the scanner:

Switch off the scanner and computer.

WARNING Do not attempt to service the scanner yourself. Disassembling

the scanner can expose you to dangerous voltage points or other risks. If

you think your Apple Color OneScanner needs servicing, call your

authorized Apple reseller to find the service center nearest you.

Unplug the scanner power cord from the wall outlet.

Dampen a cloth with water or a mild cleaning agent, and then thoroughly wring out

the cloth.

Use the cloth to gently wipe clean the document glass, the scanner cover, and exterior

surfaces.

111

Don’t tip the scanner on its side or turn it upside down. To move the scanner,

follow the guidelines in “Carrying the Scanner” in Chapter 2.

WARNING Avoid spraying cleaning agents or water directly on the

document glass. The spray could penetrate below the glass and

contaminate internal mirrors and lenses.

Never use a chemically treated cloth or cleaners that contain alcohol,

benzene, or ammonia. Use of such items can discolor, deform, or melt

the outside covering. Do not lubricate the scanner.

Dry the damp areas with a clean, soft, dry cloth.

Use a clean, soft, dry cloth to remove any dust or debris from the power cord socket,

interface connectors, and other metal parts.

Chapter 8

Using the Automatic Document Feeder

The Apple Automatic Document Feeder is an optional accessory you can

purchase to automate the scanning of multiple original pages. You’ll find the

Automatic Document Feeder especially useful if you plan to use your scanner

for optical character recognition (OCR) or repetitive image retrieval work.

This chapter shows you how to set up and use the document feeder. You’ll

find instructions for

m hardware setup

m loading of multiple original pages

m maintenance and troubleshooting

Setting up the Automatic Document Feeder

Setting up the Automatic Document Feeder is a simple process that requires

no special tools. After installation, the document feeder works as the top

cover of the scanner. If you find later that you don’t need the feeder, you can

easily remove it and replace it with the original scanner cover.

Set up the scanner first: Before you connect the Automatic Document Feeder

to your scanner, you need to set up the Apple Color OneScanner and install

the scanner software. See Chapters 2 and 3 for instructions if you haven’t yet

set up the scanner hardware and software.

113

To connect the document feeder:

Switch off the scanner and then switch off your Macintosh computer.

Power switch.

“O” is off and

“I” is on.

Devices connected through SCSI cables require a certain power-on sequence.

See “Switching the Power On,” in Chapter 2, for more information.

Grip the scanner top cover on both sides and lift it off.

Put the original cover away in a safe place for future use. The document

feeder replaces the cover.

Chapter 9

Choosing originals to scan

The document feeder is designed to accept standard office papers as

originals. Like a copy machine, the document feeder may have problems with

bent, torn, or otherwise mutilated originals.

These originals work best

The document feeder accepts paper with the following dimensions and

weight:

m paper size

length

10 1/8 to 14 in. (257 to 356 mm)

7 3/16 to 8 1/2 in. (182 to 216 mm)

16 to 20 lb. bond (60 to 160 g/m²)

width

m paper weight

These originals may cause trouble

The document feeder will not work well with

m originals with tears, perforations, or punch holes

m curled or wrinkled originals

m carbon-backed originals or originals on coarse paper

m labels or postcards

m thick, taped, or glued originals

Such originals will work fine if you place them directly onto the scanner,

rather than feeding them through the document feeder.

Avoid valuable documents

Apple recommends that you avoid using the document feeder to scan valuable

originals. Some important documents, certificates, and photographs fall

within the acceptable limits for size and weight and can therefore go through

the document feeder for scanning. You should be aware that paper jams

sometimes occur, and such jams may damage a document. See “Bypassing the

Document Feeder,” later in this chapter, for information about scanning

without the feeder.

117

Using the Automatic Document Feeder

Scanning with the document feeder

The document feeder significantly speeds up the scanning process, especially

if you’re doing optical character recognition (OCR) work. Partly because of

its speed, however, the document feeder has certain limitations of which you

should be aware:

m Do not scan images in color when you use the document feeder. The

images you get may not meet your quality requirements.

To sca n several originals using the feeder:

Lift the document feeder and make sure no originals have been left on the scanner glass.

The document feeder will not work if an original is still on the glass.

Neatly stack the original pages face up on the document tray.

You can feed up to 20 sheets of 20-lb. bond (80 g/m²) paper.

Align the bottom left corner of the stack with the appropriate paper-size mark on the

document tray, as shown:

Paper-size

If you use legal-size paper, the ends of the sheets will extend over the end of

the tray.

TextBridge to convert the scanned images to text.

120

Chapter 9

Bypassing the document feeder

As mentioned earlier in this chapter, certain originals may not work properly

with the document feeder. You may want to scan valuable documents that

could be damaged by the document feeder. You can do this by placing the

originals on the scanner glass rather than using the document feeder.

To bypass the document feeder:

Lift the document feeder as if it were the scanner cover.

Place the original on the glass.

Lower the document feeder over the original, if possible, so the document feeder is

closed during the scan.

Scan the original as usual.

121

Using the Automatic Document Feeder

Clearing paper jams

If you scan only acceptable originals, you should have little trouble with

paper jams. For a review of factors that make originals acceptable, see

“Choosing Originals to Scan,” earlier in this chapter.

If a paper jam occurs while you’re using the document feeder, follow the

Using the Transparent Media Adapter

The Apple Transparent Media Adapter is an optional accessory you can

purchase to adapt your Apple Color OneScanner 1200/30 for overhead

transparencies and positive and negative film. (The adapter does not work

with the Color OneScanner 600/27.)

This chapter shows you how to set up and use the Transparent Media

Adapter. You’ll find instructions for

m hardware setup

m loading of transparencies or negatives

m maintenance and troubleshooting

WARNING Handle the Transparent Media Adapter with great care. Marks

or scratches on the diffuser (the smooth surface on the underside of the

adapter) may appear in images scanned with the adapter. If scratches

impair image quality, the adapter must be replaced. Contact your

authorized Apple dealer.

Setting up the Transparent Media Adapter

Setting up the Transparent Media Adapter is a simple process that requires no

special tools. After installation, the adapter works as the top cover of the

scanner. If you find later that you don’t need the adapter, you can easily

remove it and replace it with the original scanner cover.

137

Set up the scanner first: Before you connect the Transparent Media Adapter to

your scanner, you need to set up the Apple Color OneScanner and install the

scanner software. See Chapters 2 and 3 for instructions if you haven’t yet set

up the scanner hardware and software.

To connect the adapter:

Switch off the scanner and then switch off your Macintosh computer.

Power switch.

“O” is off and

“I” is on.

Devices connected through SCSI cables require a certain power-on and

power-off sequence. See “Switching the Power On,” in Chapter 2, for more

information.

Grip the scanner top cover on both sides and lift it off.

Put the original cover away in a safe place for future use. The adapter replaces

the cover.

Plug the cable from the adapter firmly into the small port on the back of the scanner.

Switch on the scanner and then switch on your Macintosh.

The scanner may make some sounds as it calibrates and warms up. After

about 20 seconds, the adapter and scanner are ready to use.

Handling film

To protect your valuable film from fingerprints, grease, and so on, wear

gloves. Most photography supply stores sell gloves designed for handling film.

141

Using the Transparent Media Adapter

Inserting film into a film guide for scanning

The adapter comes with three film guides that can hold these sizes:

m 35-mm film

m 60-mm film

m 4 x 5-inch film

35-mm film guide

Shutter strips

To avoid overexposure when scanning

negatives, always insert a shutter strip

in any slot that doesn’t contain film.

Tabs

Slots

4 x 5-inch film guide

60-mm film guide

With this film guide, you do not

need to use a shutter strip.You

can leave one of the film slots

empty or put film in both slots.

Tabs

Slots

Shutter strip

When scanning negatives,

always insert a shutter strip in

any slot that doesn’t contain film.

Use this guide for 35-mm

mounted positives (slides).

IMPORTANT Be sure to insert negatives into the film guide so that no light

shows through at the sides of the negative film. You can allow a light gap at

the top and bottom of a negative, but light that shows at the sides may cause

the image to be overexposed. If you are scanning a negative that won’t fit any

of the film guides, create a mask for it from opaque materials to prevent light

from leaking through at the sides of the negative.

142

Chapter 10

To insert film into the film guide:

Place the film guide on a clean, flat surface.

Choose the guide that’s appropriate for the size of film or transparency you

intend to scan.

Lift the tab and insert shutter strips into slots that will not have film in them.

IMPORTANT Shutter strips prevent overexposure (halation) of the scanned

images. If a strip of negatives is not long enough to fill the slot it’s in, that is

not a problem, but unused slots in the 35-mm and 60-mm film guides must

contain shutter strips. (The 4 x 5-inch film guide does not require a shutter

strip. You can leave one of the slots empty.) It is important not to allow any

gaps at the sides of the film. Light that shows through at the sides may cause

the film to be overexposed.

143

Using the Transparent Media Adapter

Lift the tab and insert negatives or positives for scanning.

Make sure the image is facing down. To avoid getting unwanted fingerprints

on the film, wear gloves designed for handling film.

Lift the tab and slide the

film into the guide. The

image should face down.

Negative or positive film

Make sure the film is aligned properly in the slot.

Hold the film guide up to a source of light to check for openings where

light leaks through. The edges of the film must be parallel to the edges of

the slot. If you are scanning negatives, even a small gap that allows light

through perforations on the film can cause overexposure (halation) of the

scanned image.

If you’re not using a film guide for positives, be sure to allow at least .59

inch (15-mm) of space between the top edge of the film and the top edge of

the document glass. (The space comprises the necessary light correction

zone.)

If you’re not using a film guide for negatives, be sure to allow space for the

light correction zone. In addition, be sure to mask the sides of your

negatives to avoid overexposure (halation). Use a black opaque material for

masking (something similar to the material in the film guides).

m You may have selected an inappropriate negative film type, producing

incorrect colors.

Choose the correct film type. For details, see “Scanning With the Adapter,”

earlier in this chapter.

Appendix B

Appendix C

Assembling a SCSI Chain

This appendix shows you how to connect a chain of devices to your

Macintosh computer.

IMPORTANT If the scanner is the only SCSI device you plan to connect to your

computer, do not use the instructions in this appendix. Instead, see Chapter 2,

“Setting Up the Scanner,” where you’ll find the information you need.

About SCSI ID numbers

Your Macintosh has an external SCSI port that accepts a SCSI cable. You use

this port to connect a device, such as the scanner.

Your computer may also have a second, internal SCSI connection. The

computer’s internal hard disk drive is connected to this. If your computer

came with a CD-ROM drive, the drive is also attached to the internal

SCSI interface.

Each device has a unique ID number

To keep everything straight, the Macintosh requires that each SCSI device be

assigned a SCSI ID number. This SCSI ID number is

m set by a hardware switch in each device

m tracked by the system software

159

For example, the internal hard disk drive is, by convention, always assigned

SCSI ID 0 (internal). The system software shows the hard disk at that

location.

You can connect a total of seven internal and external SCSI devices to the

Macintosh. Each device must have its own unique SCSI ID number, from 0 to

6 (or from 1 to 6 if you have an internal hard disk drive installed).

About ID numbers: Do not assign numbers 0 or 7 to the scanner. The default

setting for the internal hard disk drive is 0, and for the computer, 7. Make sure

you use a number that is not assigned to any other SCSI device because each

ID number must be unique.

Factory setting

The SCSI ID number for the Apple Color OneScanner is set in the factory at

2, with termination on (see the next section), but you can change the setting

if necessary.

About SCSI termination

To ensure accurate transmission of information, a terminator is used at the

end of a SCSI chain, even if there is only one device in the chain.

Any Macintosh computer with an internal hard disk drive contains its own

terminator. This means that you need only one other terminator (internal or

external) attached to the last device in the chain.

The Apple Color OneScanner has an internal (built-in) terminator. This

control switch can be set to various SCSI ID numbers. Each number can be

set with termination on or off.

m With termination on, information stops at the scanner.

m With termination off, information can pass through the scanner and travel

onward down a chain to another SCSI device.

160

Appendix C

Factory setting

The internal terminator for the Apple Color OneScanner is set to “on,” but

you can change it.

Note: You need an external terminator with the scanner only if you have a

Macintosh IIfx or PowerBook computer. The Macintosh IIfx requires a

special terminator. Make sure you purchase the appropriate item if you need

an external SCSI terminator.

Connecting the SCSI devices

The illustrations later in this appendix show various SCSI arrangements and

show where termination is required. Use the illustrations for reference as you

set up a SCSI chain.

To connect your SCSI devices to your Macintosh computer:

Turn off the computer and any SCSI devices, but leave the power cords plugged into

grounded outlets.

Touch any of the metal connectors on the back of your Macintosh.

This safely discharges static electricity that may be on your clothes or body.

Attach the small end of the system cable to the SCSI port on the Macintosh.

Attach the large end of the system cable to either SCSI port on the back of one of the

Attach either end of a SCSI peripheral cable to the other port on the back of the

first device.

If you want the second device to be more than 18 inches away from the first,

connect a cable extender to the end of the SCSI peripheral cable. You can use

up to 20 feet (6.1 meters) of cables.

Attach the other end of the SCSI peripheral cable (or the other end of the cable extender)

to either SCSI port on the back of the second device.

Repeat steps 5 and 6 for each additional SCSI device you want to connect.

Attach the cable terminator (if you need one) to the remaining SCSI port on the back of

the last SCSI device in your chain.

IMPORTANT Most external SCSI devices from Apple do not have internal

terminators, but the Apple Color OneScanner has a built-in terminator. To

make certain about other devices, check their manuals.

The illustrations on the next few pages show the various SCSI configurations

and the cables and termination settings required.
