Preface
DuoScan HiD is a high—resolution scanner that scans reflective and transparent
originals, each on an independent scan bed. The transparent scan area is a
revolutionary innovation because of the Twinplatem scanning system. This
allows you to scan without glass plates distorting the optical path. Instead of only
switching the light source, the scanner switches mirrors and thereby uses a
different optical path to scan transparent originals, This allovJs the scanner to
optimize the optical path for both types of originals.
DuoScan HiD's image quality makes it perfectly suitable for pre-press graphical
applications. It is based on flatbed CCD (Charge Coupled Device) scanning
technology. DuoScan HiD is characterized by a large input size range and a high
scanning speed. Thanks to its 8,000 CCD pixels, an impressive output size range
can be achieved. This high»precision instrument features exceptional sharpness
and color fidelity.
The universal glass frame. the slide holder frame and the batch slide holders
allow you to scan transparent originals without using the reflective glass plate
Three regular slide holders are supplied with DuoScan HiD, together with several
types of batch slide holders which are available as an option in order to increase
the productivity of the scanner. The document cover is adjustable for reflective
scanning: when you put a thicker original (like a book or a magazine) on the
reflective glass plate. the document cover adapts itself to its thickness
The originals can be of any type. The FotoLook scanning software will optimize
the scan result. The features of ColorTune and FotoFlavor software make it
possible to create an output in compliance with your personal wishes (realistic
colors, special color effects,...). The bit depths can be either 3 x 12 bit for color
(packed into 3 x16 bit or truncated to 3 x 8 bit). 12 bit for gray scale originals, or
1 bit for line-art originals. The scanned data are transferred to the workstation
through SCSI-2, The workstation can be either an Apple“ Macintosh” or PC'.

Placing reflective originals
You can place a reflective original directly on the scanner’s reflective glass plate,
A new feature oi your DuoScan HiD is the adjustable document cover. when you
put a thicker original (like a book or a magazine) on the reflective glass plate, the
document cover adapts itself to its thickness.
1, Open the document cover of the scanner.
2. Place the original face down on the reflective glass plate. With its top side
against the middle of the front ruler,
The optical performance of a CCD scanner is always best near the middle of
the scan area. However. for the most common resolutions used for reflective
originals, placing originals to the side will not decrease quality
3. Close the document cover of the scanner.
Placing transparent originals
When you scan transparent originals. you use either a batch slide holder frame
or the universal glass frame,
1. universal glass frame
2. calibration slit
3. arrow indicating where to place transparent originals
Note' You find this arrow only on the top-side of the frame
Caution You always have to attach your transparent originals to the slide holder
frame either with the clips of the universal slide holder, or by using a batch slide
holder, or with adhesive tape. even if your transparent originals are fixed in a
regular slide holderl Otherwise you might lose them in the scanner,
Using the universal glass frame
To scan a transparent original. carry out the following instructions:
1 .
Center the original on the universal slide holder so that its top side is
directed towards the calibration slit of the slide holder frame when you put
the universal slide holder on the slide holder frame of the scanner.
The arrow on the frame indicates the position that guarantees the best
quality
Clip your original underneath the edge of the universal slide holder.
Put the slide holder frame into the transparency tray.
Note Make sure that the calibration slit of the slide holder frame is at the
front side (standing in front of the scanner) and that it is clean
Using the regular slide holders
You can also put your originals in a regular slide holder to avoid blooming and
newton rings. There are three types of regular slide holders: 35 mm strip, 6 x 6
cm, and 4 x 5 inch. To scan a transparent original using a regular slide holder.
carry out the following instructions:
1.
2.
Put your original in a slide holder.
Center the original on the universal glass frame so that its top side is
directed towards the calibration slit of the slide holder frame. This position
guarantees the best quality.
Fix the slide holder on the universal glass frame by pushing it firmly down,
the rear of the holder having a glass adhesive, thereby securing it to the
glass The holder can still be removed easily.
Put the universal glass frame into the transparency tray with the Agfa logo
facing upwards

failure.
I Disconnect the power plug when you want to clean the reflective glass plate
and when the scanner needs servicing.
I Do not open the scanner housing as it contains high voltage areas and
sensltlve components. Any corrective maintenance should be carried out by
your dealer or Agfa service representative.
I Do not leave originals on the reflective glass plate or on the slide holder
frame for excessive periods of time. The warmth of the scanner may cause
them to deteriorate.
. I Make sure that the originals are properly attached on the glass plate,
otherwise you might lose them in the scanner.
I To avoid crashes, never use extension cables for SCSI cables.
I For safety reasons, never use extension cables for power cables.
Cleaning your scanner
In order to maintain the quality of your scanned images, regularly clean both
glass plates (the rellective glass plate and the universal glass frame)
Before cleaning, switch off the power to the scanner and unplug the cable
Use a damp cloth and a mild detergent or alcohol to clean the surface of the
glass plate.
When you use sprays directly onto the glass plate, avoid the seams around
the glass. as this may cause the quuld to penetrate and contaminate the
mirrors and lenses inside the scanner. Do not use detergent on the plastic
parts of your scanner.
l The cleaning of the calibration slit in the transparency holder frame is
especially important. Keep this area dust» and dirt~free.
SCSI devices
DuoScan HiD is a Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) device. It
communicates with your computer by using the SCSI-2 standard. The SCSI
communication standard allows you to have up to seven peripheral devices
connected to your computer.
Before connecting the SCSI devices you should always make sure that your
computer and all SCSI devices are switched off. If either the computer or any of
the devices remains on, you could damage the computer or the device.
A unique SCSI ID number is assigned to each device in the SCSI chain enabling
your computer to identify the device it wants to communicate with and the priority
of each device.
Cau'umdlif'two SCSI devices have the same Ilj numvber,’ your'sy'stem will not
work properly and you may damage your SCSI devices.
To avoid crashes, never use extension cables for SCSI cables.

Which SCSI interface card
DuoScan HiD requires a SCSI interface card to work with your Macintosh If your
Macintosh does not have such a card or built-in interface, contact your dealer or
Agla service representative.
Adaptec products are recommended to use together with your DuoScan HID,
~:~ Note: Please check the following documentation:
The documentation supplied with your interface card. This wili tell you
how to install the card,
if you are using third party software, check the documentation suppiied
with that software for the SCSI interface cards supported.
Choosing a SCSI ID number
Before you connect your DuoScan HiD to your Macintosh, you have to find out
which SCSI ID numbers are already assigned and which numbers are free To do
this‘ you can use the utility ‘SCSI ID Checker'. You will find this utility in the
FotoLook folder after you installed the software,
1. Copy the SCSI ID Checker to your Macintosh computer if not already done.
2. Open the SCSI ID Checker.
A diaiog box appears with a list of the SCSI lD numbers that are free in your
Macintosh computer,
5, Click OK to close the SCSI ID Checker,
Connecting the scanner
,, "Install the scanner software as described in the Getting Started,
before connecting the scanner to your computer
Before you connect the scanner to your Macintosh make sure that your scanner
as well as your Macintosh and everything connected to it are switched off.
Cdu- m For safety reasons never use extension cables for power cables.
Always make sure there are no more than two terminators in your SCSI chain,
one at the beginning and one at the end. Some SCSI devices have built- in
terminators and must therefore be placed at the beginning or end of your SCSI
chain Please check the documentation of each of your SCSI devices if you‘ re not
sure whether the device has a built- in terminator
Because your DuoScan HiD has a built-in terminator you do not need to use an
external terminator. To activate the built-in terminator switch the SCSI terminator
on.
If your DuoScan HiD is the only SCSI device to be connected to
your Apple Macintosh:
1. Connect the smaller 25-pin end of the SCSI cable to the connector of your
Apple Macintosh.
2, Connect the larger 50—pin end of the SCSI cable to the free side of the
terminator.
3, Snap the diamond shaped wire clips into the clip brackets to secure the
connection.
4. switch on the internal terminator.
If your DuoScan HiD will be connected to your Apple Macintosh
together with other SCSI devices: '
It you install the scanner at the end of your SCSI chain:
1. Remove the terminator tram the last device in the SCSI chain
2 Connect the 50-plrl end of the SCSI cable to the connector that has become
available on this devtce,
3 Connect the 25-pln end of the SCSI cable to the free connector of the
scanner.
4, Snap the diamond shaped wire clips mm the clip brackets to secure the
connectlon
5. Switch the internal terminator on.
If you install the scanner between two other SCSI devices:
Note: Make sure the internal terminator of the scanner is switched off.
1. Disconnect your SCSI cable from one oI these two SCSI devices.
2. Connect the free end of this SCSI cable to the scanner.
3. Connect the SO-pin end of the SCSI cable (the one supplied with your
scanner) to the other adjacent SCSI device.
4. Connect the 25-pin end of the SCSI cable (the one supplied with your
scanner) to the scanner.
5. Snap the diamond shaped ware clips into the clip brackets to secure the
connection.
