Setting up the Scanner
Environmental Requirements
Set up the scanner in a location that fulfils the following requirements:
•
Keep the scanner away from sources of heat, such as direct sunlight or
a radiator. Warm temperatures will degrade the quality of your scans -
for best results, work in a cool environment.
•
The scanner must be operated away from sources of strong
electromagnetic interference. Although the scanner complies with all
regulations governing electromagnetic immunity and Imacon has
taken every reasonable step to make the unit immune to
electromagnetic interference, it is still a precision electronic device so
strong radio waves can interfere with your scans.
•
The surface on which the scanner is placed must be stable and free
from vibrations. If the scanner is shaken or moved while scanning,
your results may be affected.
•
If the scanner has been in a colder environment (e.g. outside or in
storage) just before you set it up in a warmer room, then wait about
two hours before using it - otherwise, condensation may form, which
will prevent the scanner from operating correctly.
•
Avoid using the scanner in areas where there is a high level of dust.
•
To prevent dust from getting into the scanner, always close the feed
table when the scanner is not in use.
Electrical Requirements
The Flextight 343 power supply requires a mains voltage of between 100
and 240 V AC at a frequency of 50 to 60 Hz. This is within the normal
wall-socket power standards of most countries. Do not attempt to use
Flextight 343 with any power source outside the specified range.
The scanner and all devices attached to the scanner (computer, monitor,
and FireWire devices, etc.) must be grounded (i.e. use a three-point
electrical connection).
Note that the power supply may emit a low hissing sound when
plugged in but not connected to the scanner. This is normal and will not
damage the power supply or scanner.
