2
Before scanning:
1) Confirm that the scanner is not currently in use.
The scanner should be turned off after every scanning session, unless the next person
scanning has showed up before the last person finishes.
2) Enter the date, your name, your supervisor’s name into the log.
(Complete log entry after scanning – including number of micrographs scanned and scanner
performance.)
How to turn on the scanner:
1) Turn scanner on first (before turning on PC) – green rocker switch on left side of the
scanner.
2) After scanner has run self-diagnostics (indicated on top of scanner at front left), turn on
the PC (upper rocker switch behind black door).
The PC boots up with Windows 2000.
How to log on to the PC:
ctrl-alt-delete (this brings up the log in prompt)
Username: ZI User
Password: get from Paul
Make sure the PC boots up properly before loading films, etc. If it doesn’t, enter the symptoms
in the log and notify Paul.
How to load films:
1) Prepare scanner and negative for scanning (WEAR GLOVES!):
A solution 100% ethanol or glass cleaner (such as Windex) may be used to clean the
glass plates. Be extremely careful not to introduce scratches onto the plates – they are
very expensive, optical-quality glass. Any user who finds any scratch on the surface
of the glass should write this down in the log book.
Kimwipes or other high lint paper is not good for cleaning the glasses because they
will leave residue. Use low lint cloths or lens paper to clean glass plates.
DO NOT USE CANNED DUST REMOVER TO CLEAN THE SCANNER. THIS
CAN DAMAGE THE SCANNER BY LEAVING A RESIDUE ON SENSITIVE
PARTS.
Negatives may be cleaned using a photographic brush or canned air.
