> Caution Be sure not to choose IDs already in use by disk drives connected to your
CPU! You may cause directory damage if the plugin attempts to write to
your disk
When you are using the GPIB, you can choose the other icon and bring up the
following dialog:

Again, you may choose a specific address, as in the SCSI Search dialog box.
Underneath the interface icons there is a Gamma button which will display
the gamma table currently in the scanner. If you press the shift key, you will get
RGB. A neutral line is displayed when all three gamma curves are the same. For
a better understanding of gamma, consult the section Scanning for Reproduction.

There is also a preview button next to the gamma icon. This will cause the
scanner to scan and display the results in a preview window at low resolution. If
you press the shift key, you will get an RGB preview.

The Record File button will record all transactions sent from the command
line and the data received back from the scanner. To speed up the return of long
data streams from diagnostic commands like the TS5 routine (10Kbytes), leave the
No Display box checked, and the Macintosh will not be required to write all the
incoming data to the screen, a slow procedure. This can be a lengthy procedure if
there are 5-10K worth of characters returned from the scanner in a test routine.
For this reason, there is an
Abort button to terminate all testing or other scanner
actions. Use the Record button to write the returned data to a file that can be
inspected later.
If you have long or complex tests to run you can write a macro file of
commands with any ASCII text editor (such as TeachText) which can be opened
using the
Script button.
