Chapter 2 — Installing the scanner 13
■ For the PC:
n A 386 processor (a 486 processor is recommended).
n A 14 " color monitor.
n A 16-bit video card for an accurate display of color images.
n 8 Mb of RAM.
n FotoLook™ and FotoSnap™ are compatible with all IBM PC's and compatibles capable of
running MS Windows 3.1™ or higher, or Windows 95™.
n A SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) interface card supported by FotoLook for
connecting your scanner. You can use the SCSI interface card that is delivered with your
SnapScan (See
“Installation for the PC : Which SCSI interface card” ) or you can use your
own SCSI interface card if you have one. In general, FotoLook supports all fully WINASPI
compatible cards. Some Adaptec cards require a special SCSI cable. Contact your
supplier for the proper cable.
When you don't use the SCSI interface card that is supplied with your SnapScan, you
should review your PC's documentation with respect to installing SCSI interface cards.
Check the installation and setup guidelines in the documentation that is supplied
together with your SCSI interface card.
n A CD-ROM drive.
n The amount of disk space available on your PC determines the number and the size of
the images you can scan. Make sure you have enough free storage space on your hard
disk. You need about two times the size of the image to scan, edit and save it. You need
minimum 30 Mb free hard disk space.
Environmental requirements
■ Place the scanner on a horizontal, flat surface.
■ To ensure proper ventilation, allow a minimum of 10 cm (4 inches) free space around each side
of the scanner and a minimum of 15 cm (6 inches) at the rear side of the scanner.
■ Make sure that no vibrations or shocks occur.
■ Make sure that the area is free of dust.
■ Avoid any contact with water.
■ Your SnapScan is designed to perform optimally when the environmental temperature is
between 10
°
C and 40
°
C. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and heating devices.
■ Your SnapScan is designed to perform optimally when the environmental humidity is between
20% and 85%. Avoid environments where humidity fluctuations might occur.
■ Check whether the voltage of the power cable corresponds to the voltage in your area. If not,
contact your dealer. Avoid environments where voltage fluctuations might occur.
