2 Site Power and Working Space

This section describes the working conditions and working space for operating the

ArtixScan6000XY.

General Requirements

Before unpacking your scanner, make sure that the site where the scanner will be

installed is big enough to allow for easier operation.

• Make sure that the operating environment for the scanner is free of dust and other

contaminants.

• Allow adequate ventilation space (no less than 10 inches) around the scanner.

• Place the scanner on a flat, stable surface that is not subject to vibration.

• Make sure that the scanning surface will not be exposed to direct sunlight or other

sources of bright light.

• Avoid placing the scanner close to sources of extreme temperature.

• 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.

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.

SCSI cables

Your scanner should be placed within 3 feet of the computer. Use the SCSI cable that

came with your scanner.

Minimum Macintosh requirements

• Apple Power Mac with PCI bus (150 MHz)

• Apple Macintosh system software version 8.5 or higher

• CD-ROM drive

• 64MB of available RAM

• 1 GB hard disk space

• Color monitor at least 17” with 24-bit color display ability

Safety Instructions

To prevent the electric shock, the cover should only be removed by a qualified service

engineer.

3 Powering Up

This section describes the power up sequence for the ArtixScan 6000XY.

Power cable

The power cable shown below is a North American type that complies with United

States and Canadian requirements. Power cables used in other areas may have a

different look.

Voltage

The ArtixScan 6000XY scanner is preset to the voltage in your country. There is no

need to manually select the voltage; however, make sure that the label next to the

power entry module indicates the correct voltage. Contact your dealer if the label

indicates an incorrect voltage.

Power cord connection

Caution! Make sure your scanner carriage is unlocked prior to connecting it to a

power source.

1. The scanner should be switched to the “OFF” position.

2. At the scanner back panel, connect the power cord.

3. Connect the other end of the power cord to a grounded power source.

Switch the scanner’s pow er to

the “Off ” position.

6 ArtixScan 6000XY Installation and Operation Manual

4. Switch the scanner’s power to the “On” position.

Power up self-test

The following sequence of events should take place after powering up the scanner:

• The scanner performs a self-test by homing the carriages and camera box. Through

the platen glass, you can observe the carriage moving, and you will hear a series of

clicking noises associated with the operation of the scanner motors. These “click-

ing” noises are normal. However, if you hear loud grinding noises or any other

abnormal sound, turn the scanner off immediately and contact your dealer.

• The Status lamp turns red for a few seconds when the scanner power is turned on.

• The Status lamp goes off when the scanner checks the power supply.

• The Status lamp turns green for about 30 seconds while the scanner performs self-

test. If this step is completed successfully, the lamp remains on green.

If an error occurs and the scanner is not able to start properly, the status indicators

will display a steady red light. If this happens, turn off the scanner and contact your

dealer.

Switch the scanner’s

pow er to the “On”

position.

4 Connecting your scanner

This section provides information on installing the ArtixScan 6000XY on the

Macintosh. The procedures are divided into two main sections: 1) Installation for

Macintosh computers that feature built-in SCSI ports; and 2) Installation for the new

Macintosh G3/G4 computers with built-in USB ports. For the new G3/G4 computers,

you will be installing the SCSI interface card included in the scanner package.

Important: Before connecting, make sure that the computer, your scanner, and all other

devices are turned off.

Installation for Macintosh computers with built-in

SCSI ports

A. Connecting the scanner

1. Shut down your computer.

2. Connect the scanner to your computer, using the SCSI cable provided in the

scanner package.

Note: See the next section for details on termination

3. Plug the power cord to the power connector at the back panel of the scanner, and

plug the other end of the power cord to your AC power source or wall outlet.

4. Turn on your scanner and wait for all the lights on the front panel to stop blinking

and stay on steady.

5. Power up your Macintosh.

B. Termination

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.

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.

Installation for the new G3/G4 Macintosh computers

(without built-in SCSI ports)

A. Installing the interface card

Before installing the interface card, make sure you turn off your computer and

peripherals. Then follow the steps below:

If the scanner is the last

de vice , set the ter minator

switch to the “On” position.

ArtixScan 6000XY Installation and Operation Manual 9

1. Shut down your computer and unplug the power cord. Next, open your computer.

2. Look for an available PCI card slot (typically white or ivory) in your computer.

Remove the slot cover, and insert the PCI SCSI card into the slot. Push the card in

to make sure it is seated all the way in 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.

B. Connecting the scanner

1. Shut down your computer.

2. Connect the scanner to your computer, using the SCSI cable provided in the

scanner package.

to the “OFF” position.

• Make sure the last device on the SCSI chain is terminated.

C.Installing the software

Install all the software on your ScanWizard Pro CD-ROM, which contains the

ScanWizard Pro scanning software, ICC profiles and the Microtek Scanner

Profiler™ software for calibrating the ArtixScan 6000XY.

To do this, insert the ScanWizard Pro CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. When the

CD-ROM icon appears on your Macintosh desktop, open the software folders

individually, then double-click the Installer icon on each folder to install the

respective programs one at a time.
