connected film scanner before you boot your computer. For SCSI or USB, ensure the
sliding panel on the back of the film scanner has been slid completely to the side not
in use.
3) The internal SCSI terminator used in the RFS 3600 is an active terminator which
requires power from the scanner. Some computers may experience startup
problems if the scanner is turned off when the computer performs its power up
routines. If you experience this problem with your computer (e.g. it will not boot
completely, hangs at the SCSI identification routine),you may:
1) Change your SCSI cabling so the scanner is not the last item in the SCSI
chain.
2) Disconnect the scanner from the SCSI chain when it is not in use.
3) Do not use the internal SCSI terminator. Install an external terminator on the
unused SCSI port.
4) The USB interface is a hot connect interface; you should be able to connect and
disconnect a USB device without having to power off either the device or your
computer. Some computers may not perform the device recognition process
flawlessly. If your computer does not find the RFS 3600 when hot connecting via the
USB interface, try rebooting your machine with the film scanner turned on and the
USB cable connected between the two.
MACINTOSH
Mac OS 8.5.1, 8.6, 9.1 – SCSI Interface
You may experience improved RFS 3600 Film Scanner performance if the film scanner is
the only device on the SCSI chain.
When connected via SCSI, the Devices and Volumes tab of the Apple System Profiler will
list the RFS 3600 information including SCSI bus number the film scanner is mounted on,
the SCSI ID the film scanner is using, Vendor = Kodak, Revision number = x.xx (firmware
revision level), product id = RFS 3600. To obtain this information, select the Apple System
Profiler item which is located on the Apple Menu. If the Apple System Profiler does not
find the film scanner, the ADOBE PHOTOSHOP Acquire Module will not be able to
operate the scanner. Turn off your MACINTOSH and film scanner and check your
connections and SCSI bus termination. Turn on the film scanner and then turn on your
MACINTOSH.
Mac OS 9.1 – USB Interface
When connected via USB, the Devices and Volumes tab of the Apple System Profiler will
list the RFS 3600 information under a USB Scanner or a Class 0 heading, including
Product ID = 289, Vendor = Genesys Logic, Inc. To obtain this information, select the
Apple System Profiler item which is located on the Apple Menu. If the Apple System
Profiler does not find the film scanner, the ADOBE PHOTOSHOP Acquire Module will not
be able to operate the scanner. Turn off your MACINTOSH and film scanner and check
your connections. USB is a hot connect interface, but some computer systems accept
USB devices easier if the device is connected and On when the computer is started. The
