Information Introduction Thank you for choosing this PS 7000 and showing confidence in our product. This machine has a modern design and fulfils today's requirements of a scanner. It combines advanced technology with a contemporary appearance. The PS 7000 was manufactured to the same high quality standards as is common for all other precision instruments made by Minolta. This manual will assist you in becoming familiar with the machine. It contains all the necessary information for the start-up, its functions and the replacement of the consumables. Please, always keep this manual on hand when using the machine. PS7000 1-1 1 1.2 How Does a Scanner Work? General Information The way a scanner works is really quite simple. First of all, the documents are scanned in by means of a reading device. This involves brightly illuminating the document, similar to the procedure for photos. The scanner reads the image dot by dot - after all, your document may be a piece of writing, a drawing or a photo. The scanner transcribes this information into a digital format (or, to put it more simply, in black and white points), compresses this data and then transmits it to the output unit, either a PC or Printer. Now, enjoy your new scanner! Copyright Law Note The use of your scanner is subject to the applicable copyrights for the documents you are processing. Any violation of these rights may lead to criminal prosecution. 1-2 PS7000 General Information 1 1.3 Safety Precautions l Connect the machine only to a 200 - 240 V/ 50 Hz earthed power point. l Always pull at the plug, never at the wire, when you want disconnect the machine from the power supply. If possible, connect the machine directly to a wall outlet. l If you need to use an extension cord, make sure it can handle the required power. l Do not unscrew any parts, if not specifically requested in this manual. If necessary contact your technical service. l Take care not to let humidity into the machine. l Make sure no objects fall into the machine. l If any problem occurs that can not be solved by the procedures described in this manual make sure you contact the technical service. l Follow the recommended maintenance procedures regularly. l The book table is movable but is locked in place during scanning. Be careful not to pinch your fingers or other things in the gaps. l If you want to move the unit, make sure to pull all the plugs from the scanner beforehand. l Don't place anything on top of the scanner. l Never turn the scanner off while it is scanning. l Never look directly into the lamp of the scanner as this may damage your eyes permanently. l Protect your eyes from excess fatigue by taking a break for at least 5 minutes per hour. l Always make sure that the air vents of the scanner are not blocked by any objects. PS7000 1-3 1 Halogen Lamp General Information This scanner is equipped with a halogen lamp for illuminating the documents.
