7

■ 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

the plug from the power outlet. Never touch the power cord with

wet hands.

■ BEFORE YOU BEGIN ... ■

■Use only a power supply having the rated voltage. The use of

other voltages could result in a fire or electric shock.

■Always unplug the power cord by grasping the plug itself. Pulling

on the power cord can damage the cord so that the core wires are

exposed or snapped and could cause a fire or electric shock.

■Do not use an extension power cord as this could cause a fire or

electric shock.

■Keep the area around the power outlet free of obstacles to ensure

that the scanner can be unplugged quickly in the event of an emer-

gency.

■Take care not to tip water or flammable solvents such as alcohol,

thinners or benzene into the scanner as this could result in a fire or

electric shock.

■If the scanner will be left unused for a lengthy

period, always unplug the scanner as a safety measure.

■To avoid injury when you are moving the scanner, take care not

to put your hands on the metal protrusions on the underside

of the scanner unit.

HEAT CAUTIONS

■Avoid touching internal scanner components when you perform

routine cleaning or maintenance such as changing the lamp. Some

internal components generate high temperatures or high voltages.

To avoid injury such as burns or electric shocks, take care also

that metal objects such as necklaces or bracelets do not come into

contact with internal scanner components.

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 300II, the scanner can be used as a Digital Micro-

film Printer (DMP).

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 MS300II 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 MS300II, 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.

■ BEFORE YOU BEGIN ... ■

■Connecting via SCSI

When connecting the scanner to a computer using a SCSI card,

use the following SCSI cards and cables.

•SCSI card

Use one of the following recommended SCSI cards:

Adaptec SCSI card (for PCI bus)

• AHA-2930U

• AHA-2940AU

• ASC-19160

• ASC-29160

When installing a SCSI card on your computer, follow the direc-

tions in both the manual for the SCSI card and the computer.

•SCSI cable

• The SCSI connector on the scanner is a half-pitch 50-pin con-

nector (pin-type). No SCSI cable is supplied with the scanner.

To connect the scanner to a computer, obtain a SCSI cable

with the correct connectors for the scanner and the SCSI card

installed in the computer.

• The maximum length of SCSI cables are defined by the SCSI

standard. For details, see the user manual for your SCSI card.

• Only one SCSI port can be used on the scanner

and terminator setting is fixed to ON.

You cannot daisy chain multiple MS300II scanners.

• The SCSI ID for the scanner can be set from ID0 to

ID5. By default, the SCSI ID for the scanner is set to

SCSI ID=2. When changing the SCSI ID setting,

make sure to contact an authorized Canon dealer

or service professional.

• When daisy chaining the scanner with the other SCSI

devices, note the following:

• Change the ID of the other SCSI devices so they

do not to overlap.

• Make sure that the scanner is at the end of the

chain and the terminate setting of the other de-

vices is OFF.

■Connecting to a Computer

Setup, configuration, and connection of the scanner to the com-

puter should be done by the supervising service personnel. To

change the connection or settings, contact an authorized Canon

dealer or service professional.

• The interface cable for connecting to the computer

should match the interface used during setup.

• You cannot use a SCSI and a USB connection at

the same time. Before changing the interface, make

sure to contact an authorized Canon dealer or ser-

vice professional.

■Other

•Software

• The ISIS-compatible application software or TWAIN-com-

patible application software that operate normally on the op-

eration system described above.

MAINTENANCE AND

TROUBLESHOOTING

This part of the manual describes how to replace the halogen lamp,

cleaning the scanner and dealing with errors. Regular scanner

maintenance is essential to eusure optimum performance and a

long service life from your scanner.

Replacing the lamp

The lamp projects the film image onto the screen, and the proce-

dure for replacing the lamp is described below, along with some

precautions to be observed when handling the lamp unit. If the

lamp burns out, use the procedure below to replace it.

When the lamp burns out, “LP” appears on the Print/Error dis-

play.

HEAT CAUTION

Immediately after the lamp burns out, the lamp and

the metal components of the lamp unit are very hot. To

avoid being burned, allow the lamp ample time to cool

down before touching it. The lamp will cool down more

quickly if you leave the scanner switched on for some

minutes with “LP” displayed. After checking that the

lamp and the metal components have cooled down,

proceed with lamp replacement.

1. When the lamp burns out, leave the scanner switched on for

several minutes until the lamp has cooled down.

After waiting at least 5 minutes, check that the lamp

has cooled down and then switch the scanner off.

2. Firmly grip the lamp unit on the right side of the main unit and

slowly pull the lamp unit out.

When you remove the lamp unit, “L5” appears in the

Print/Error display.

CAUTION

To avoid injury, do not touch the interior of the main

unit after you have removed the lamp unit.

3. Push the lever on the side of the lamp and remove the burned

out lamp.

HEAT CAUTION

Immediately after the lamp burns out, the lamp and

the metal components of the lamp unit are very hot.

Never handle the lamp or lamp unit while they are still

hot.

MS 300_english.p65 07.5.14, 10:1442

43

■ MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING ■

Check that there

is no gap between

the lamp and the

lamp socket.

4. Fit the new lamp so that the manufacturer’s mark is facing

upwards and check that the lamp is fully inserted into the socket

so that there is no gap between the lamp and the lamp socket.

• Use only Canon-specified lamps as replacements.

• Take care not to touch the bulb in the new lamp.

Soiling or fingermarks on the bulb can adversely

affect image quality and shorten the service life of

the bulb.

• Always check that there is no gap between the lamp

and the lamp socket. Any gap between the lamp

and the lamp socket will result in damage to the lamp

holder.

5. Insert the lamp unit into the main unit with firm, even pres-

sure until it locks into place.

Field lens

Routine cleaning

Use the routine cleaning procedures described below to keep the

scanner components clean and ensure optimum performance.

Cleaning the screen and main unit

Use a cloth slightly dampened with water or mild detergent to

clean any soiling off the scanner screen and casing. Then wipe the

scanner with a clean dry cloth.

To avoid damaging the casing of the main unit, never

clean the unit with an organic solvent such as thinners.

Cleaning the lens

1. Switch off the scanner and remove the carrier and lens unit.

2. Gently wipe off the field lens with a clean soft cloth.

3. Carefully remove the lens from the lens unit and wipe the up-

per and lower surfaces of the lens with a clean dry cloth.

Cleaning mode

Cleaning mode is a mode for cleaning the Fileprint 470’s fixing

rollers. Clean the fixing rollers in the Fileprint 470 if black spots

appear on the front or back of the paper that is printed out.

The following describes the procedure for cleaning the fixing roll-

ers. Refer to the user’s guide for the Fileprint 470 for information

about taking care of the Fileprint 470.

Cleaning the Fixing Rollers

1. Select the Cleaning mode in the user mode settings.

The paper size currently selected will be displayed on the Print/

Error display.

2. Open the multi-purpose tray of the Fileprint 470 and set a sheet

of paper of the selected size on it.

3. Press the Start key. The cleaning paper will be printed out and

[CL] will be displayed on the printing count indicator.

Cleaning paper

To reset the Cleaning mode midway, press the Clear/

Stop key before pressing the Start key. Once the clean-

ing paper is printed out, you cannot reset the Cleaning

mode midway; therefore, you must go through the en-

tire cleaning procedure for the fixing rollers till the end.

4. Set the cleaning paper on the multi-purpose tray facing the

printed side down and pointing the arrow inward.

5. Press the Start key to start cleaning the fixing rollers.

Cleaning the fixing rollers requires about 75 seconds.

Other operations cannot be done while the fixing roll-

ers are being cleaned, so do not touch anything.

6. When the cleaning is completed, the Print/Error display will

return to normal.

If black spots still appear on the front or back of the

printouts after the fixing rollers are cleaned, instead of

using printed cleaning sheets, put blank A4 size paper

in the multi-purpose tray and clean them again.

forms a self-diagnostic test. If the unit detects a problem at power

on, or at any other time during operation, it will display a Service

Call Error message in the display. A Service Call Error is indi-

cated by an error code consisting of an “E” followed by three

digits (“Ennn” where “n” indicates a number). This code is dis-

played in 2 parts as “En” followed by “nn”. (Eg. “E123” is dis-

played as “E1” followed by “23”.)
