2 General Installation

This section provides information on procedures you need to perform or things to check on your ArtixScan 1100 scanner regardless of the environment in which you operate — whether it is on the Macintosh or on the PC. The general installation procedures cover the following subjects: 1) unpacking your scanner; 2) unlocking the scanner; 3) resetting the scanner’s SCSI ID if necessary; 4) powering up the scanner; and 5) choosing your scanning station.

1. Unpacking the Scanner

2. Unlocking the Carriage

While unpacking the scanner, inspect the shipping carton for any signs of mishandling or damage. Your scanner’s packing carton and padding material has been carefully chosen to prevent damage to the unit in shipping and can withstand a reasonable amount of abuse.

Refer to the package contents checklist included with your scanner to ensure that you received all of the parts necessary for scanner setup. Should you observe any damage or missing parts, contact the shipper and your dealer immediately.

To prevent damage to the scanner’s moving parts, the scanner carriage is locked into place prior to shipment. You must unlock the carriage before powering up the scanner. Failure to do so may damage the scanner and will void your warranty. Follow the unlocking instructions below:

The carriage lock of the ArtixScan 1100 is located on the underside of the scanner.

To unlock the carriage, insert a flathead screwdriver or a coin into the locking screw slot and turn the screw a quarter turn counter-clockwise. Once unlocked the screw head will pop out slightly but will remain in the scanner.

Note: The scanner must be relocked prior to any future scanner transportation or relocation.
