1. Overview

Thank you for your purchase of a Nikon LS-2000 scanner for 35

mmfilm. The LS-2000 is a high-speed, high-resolution scanner capable of producing images suited to a wide variety of tasks, including desk-top publishing, design, and multi-media publishing. Its modular design allows you to change from scanning 35 mm slides to scanning 35 mm strip film “on the fly,” while optional adapters are available for scanning IX240 film and multiple con- secutive slides. The LS-2000 uses a high-speed SCSI interface for connection to computers running Mac OS System Software 7.1 or later, Windows 95 or later, or Windows NT 4.0 or later.

The scanner driver software provided with your scanner, Nikon Scan 2.0, offers sophisticated pre-scan editing of images, including precise color correction, contrast, and brightness adjustment. Nikon Scan can be launched from any TWAIN-compliant application under Windows or from any application that supports Adobe Photoshop plug-ins (version 4.0 or higher) on the Macintosh. Nikon Scan can also be used as a “stand-alone” application, allowing you to save scanned images to disk without the help of another application.

The user’s manuals for the LS-2000 and Nikon Scan are divided into three parts. This User’s Guide offers a brief introduction to setting up the scanner and scanning images using Nikon Scan.

More detailed reference manuals for the scanner and for Nikon Scan are provided on CD-ROM. To read these manuals you will need to install the Adobe Acrobat Reader software included on the refer- ence CD. In addition, a one-page Fast Track Guide is provided for experienced users who want to get started with the minimum of instruction. Where appropriate, this guide will refer readers to the reference manuals or Fast Track Guide for more information.

References to the manuals on CD are indicated by a icon in the

margin, references to the Fast Track Guide by a icon.
