Operating the PhotoLink Scanner
Preparation and Setup the PhotoLink Scanner
9ٰ
1. Peel off the tape that secures the guide lever.
Note: This step is only required when you use
the scanner for the first time.
2. Connect the plug on the power adapter cable
to the power socket on the scanner.
3. Plug the power adapter into a power outlet.
Note: The type of power plug and socket
illustrated may differ from that of your region.
4. Insert an unlocked (writable) memory card into
a suitable memory card slot. If both slots are
occupied, the scanner will take the following
priority when storing the scanned images:
SD (MMC) > CF > xD > MS/MS Pro/MS Duo
For example, if both SD and CF cards are
inserted, the scanner will store the scanned
images onto the SD card only.
Notes:
Be sure to insert a memory card before scanning.
Be careful when inserting a CF card. The pins inside the CF
memory card slot are subject to damages easily, and such
damage is not recoverable. It’s also not covered by the product
warranty.
The scanner only accepts memory cards in FAT16 or FAT32
format. NTFS and other file formats are not supported.
Powering Up the PhotoLink Scanner
5. Press the Power button. The Power indicator
blinks.
Note: For more information on the indicators,
see “indicators” on page 8.
6. Wait until the Power indicator stops blinking
and then goes off. The Status/ card indicator
will light up instead, indicating that the scanner
is ready.
Note: Do not insert an original photo into the
feeding slot when the Power indicator is blinking.
The original photo will not be scanned.
Making a Photo Scan
1. With the side to be scanned facing upward and
in correct orientation as indicated by the
orientation mark, place one edge of the origin
on the scanner and adjust the guide lever so
that the original photo aligns against the left
side of the feeding slot.
al
Insert the original photo into the feeding slot.
WARNING: Do not scan glossy photos in
humid environments (humidity higher than 70%
RH). Otherwise the surface of the photo will
become sticky and cause the scanner to jam.
