Nikon LS8000 Scanthe Slide, Making a Scan, Starting Nikon Scan, Windows, Mac OS 9 or Earlier

Step 4—Scan the Slide

The actual scan is performed using Nikon Scan (for detailed information on using Nikon Scan, see the Nikon Scan 3 Software Manual).

Nikon Scan can be used as a “stand-alone” application for scanning images and saving them to disk as described below. It can also be used to scan images directly into any application that supports TWAIN (Windows) or Adobe Photoshop 5.0 acquire plug-ins (Mac OS 9 or earlier). Nikon Scan can not be used to scan images into third-party applications in Mac OS X.

Windows

Select Nikon Scan from the application’s list of “Acquire” or “Import” sources.

Mac OS 9 or Earlier

Before starting the application, make sure that the Nikon Scan 3 plug-in (Nikon Scan Plugin 3.1) has been copied into the Import/Export folder in the application’s plug-in folder. You can then scan images into the application by selecting Nikon Scan from the application’s list of “Acquire” or “Import” sources.

For more information, see the documentation for the application in question.
