Hasselblad X1, X5 user manual Operating instructions, Been properly installed

 Operating instructions

		1.	It is assumed that the scanner and FlexColor software have
			been properly installed.
		2.	If not already done, lower the feed table A to normal position.
		3.	Press the red power button F on the front of the scanner to
			switch it on. The green light G starts flashing. This means that
			no firmware has been downloaded yet. It will be downloaded
			automatically later when you first run the FlexColor program.
		4.	Turn on your computer and start the FlexColor program. The
			green light G will stop flashing indicating that firmware has
	D		been downloaded to the scanner.
		5.	Select the original holder K that matches your original:
A
	E	•	For transparencies, choose one of the holders that has a
			square hole in it. The original must completely fill the hole with
			no edges showing. Also, no edges of the original must extend
	F		past the outer edges of the holder.
		•	For reflectives, select the large A4/letter-size holder with the
	G		clear plastic layer. The feed table A must be in normal position.
	H	•	For 35 mm slide frames use the optional 35 mm slide mount

I		holder. The feed table A must be adjusted to horizontal posi-
		tion (see diagram). This is obtained by lifting the table slightly
	J
		upwards while pushing it gently into the scanner.
		NOTE! Each original holder has it’s own unique identification

code (a combination of small rectangular holes at the holder’s leading edge). These codes, combined with the scanner’s abili-

L K B Cty to detect the feed table position, ensure that the scanner will not operate unless the feed table position matches the selected original holder.

6.Place the original holder K with the slotted tab facing into the scanner. For transparencies, the flexible magnetic retaining flap must face upwards. For reflectives, the clear plastic sheet must face upwards. Make sure that the original holder fits between the appropriate guides C or D on both sides of the light table.

7.Slide the holder gently into the slot E at the top of the feed table. It will slip about ½ cm (¼ inch) into it. Do not press too hard. It slips in very easily and is held in place by a magnetic clasp. To remove the holder, simply pull it gently backwards.

8.Lift the retaining flap of the original holder and place your original L as follows:

•For transparencies, place your original with the emulsion side down. The original must completely fill the hole with no edges showing and with a minimum overlap of 2 mm along each edge. Also, no edges of the original must extend past the outer edges of the holder. Use the grid on the light table B to help line up the image.

For transparency holders, the top retaing flap is magnetic, which will hold the original fast.

•For reflectives (Flextight X5 only), make sure that no part of the original extends past the edge of the holder. Use the dotted
