The above error code is a general indication of there
being something missing in between the scanner software and the scanner itself. A useful
set of tips that may help you to remove this error message is listed below:
- Make sure that the SCSI card is installed correctly. This
can checked by accessing the device manager from My Computer|Control Panels|System. Your
SCSI card should be shown and checking its properties should report that it is working
correctly. If you are experiencing problems, download the Nikon Fast Track Scanners guide
from the manuals page of the Download section.
- Make sure that your scanner has a unique SCSI ID number.
This is set from a rotary or push switch on the rear panel. Avoid using zero and seven as
these are often taken up by the SCSI adapter and any SCSI hard disk on the system. After
changing a SCSI ID, the power must be switched off and on again.
- Make sure that the scanner did not have a slide inserted
when the unit was powered on.
- When using a clean Windows NT system, the ASPI 32 bit
layer must be installed. This can be achieved by installing the EZ SCSI lite program of
SCSI utilities from Adaptec. (www.adaptec.com)
- Check that both ends of the SCSI chain are terminated. Termination
means that the ends of the electrical connections at the first and last devices are
dampened by resistors. A terminator may look like a plug with no wires for fitting to the
spare connector of the scanner, or may be a set of multilegged components that fit onto
the SCSI card. If your SCSI card does not have these components fitted, you might find
that the termination is set by a choice in a menu at start up ( The start up menu can
usually be found on Adaptec cards by holding down the Ctrl key and "A" during
boot up) . In all cases, both ends of the SCSI chain must be correctly terminated. If you
unsure about termination, check your documentation, seek help from your system supplier or
visit www.adaptec.com/cables.
