The SprintScan 45i requires a SCSI host adapter in your com-  
puter. If your computer does not have an adapter, you must install  
one (see page 17). If your computer is a PC-compatible with a  
SCSI adapter, but the adapter is connected to a hard drive or  
CD-ROM drive, installing a second adapter is recommended.

Set the scanner SCSI address  
Each device connected to a SCSI host adapter must have a unique  
address from 0-6. To assure a unique address for the scanner,  
determine the addresses of any other SCSI devices.  
Make sure the scanner is turned off and set the address switch (b)  
to a value not used by any other device.

diagrams. Use the sh‘ortest possible cables.  
Note: Turn the computer, scanner and all other SCSI devices off  
before connecting or disconnecting any cables. Do not connect

You may need additional cables or adapters to connect the scan-  
ner. Your cable must have a 50-pin Centronics M or DB-25 M  
connector at one end for attachment to the scanner, and the cable  
should be as short as possible. To determine the connector you  
need for attachment to your SCSI adapter, refer to instructions  
with the adapter.

If the film is unmounted or the mount is thin, use the slide  
spacer provided. Position the slide spacer underneath the  
slide. The film should fit snugly into the adapter. (The spacer  
also ensures that the image will be at the correct distance  
from the scanning mechanism.)  
6
Close the carrier. Squeeze the carrier at the bottom edge and  
turn the knob to lock it.  
5
Place the adapter in the 4x5 carrier, sliding the notches into  
the pins on the left edge. The slide and tabs should be facing  
up.

Close the carrier access door. The scanner will not scan if the  
door is open.  
7 Inserting the Carrier into the  
Scanner  
Note: Do not open the carrier access door while a scan is in  
process; the scan will be interrupted. The scan will resume  
when the door is closed, but the quality of the scan may be  
reduced. Scan again with the door closed for best scanning  
quality.

Installing a SCSI Host Adapter  
Limited Warranty  
The SprintScan 45i connects to a SCSI host adapter in your com-  
puter. Most Macintosh computers have a SCSI adapter built in,  
but most IBM PC compatible computers do not.  
Polaroid Corporation warrants the SprintScan 45i scanner against  
defects in manufacture or workmanship for a period of one year  
from the date of purchase. To verify the warranty period, you  
should keep the invoice, sales receipt, or other proof of the  
purchase date.  
If you must install a SCSI adapter, turn the computer off and fol-  
low instructions provided by the adapter manufacturer. (The  
procedure usually includes software installation. If your PC uses  
the Windows NT operating system, log in as an administrator  
before installation.)  
Should this product or any component or accessory included with  
it, with the exception of software, prove to be defective at any  
time during the warranty period, Polaroid Corporation will, at its  
discretion, either replace or repair this item, without charge.  
This warranty does not cover damage caused by accident, incor-  
rect installation, unauthorized modification, and misuse or abuse.  
A charge will be made for repair of such damage.  
This warranty excludes all consequential damages. Some  
jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of conse-  
quential damages, so the foregoing exclusion may not apply  
to you.  
 
Note: A shielded interface cable with a ferrite core installed on the  
scanner connector end must be used with this equipment.
