SILVERSCANNER 1I, III, IV, DTP and Pro Software version 3.0.1 – 5/6/97 (If you are running a Silverscanner I you will need version 1.6) The Silverscan line of LaCie scanners has been end-of-life for several years. This software has not been tested with newer operating systems or newer Macs. We hope that it will work in your environment, but cannot guarantee it. SETTING UP THE SCANNER • Power off the Macintosh and any external SCSI devices before connecting the scanner. • The carriage mechanism of the scanner needs to be unlocked before powering on the scanner. This lock secures the carriage mechanism and protects it from damage due to shock or vibration during transportation. The SS II has a removable screw. The SS III, DTP and Pro have a knob to turn. The SS IV has a lock/unlock bar. • Place the scanner on a flat, horizontal, stable surface. Allow enough space above the scanner for easy document placement. • Set the SCSI ID and termination. Connect the scanner to the computer. Turn the power to the scanner on and then boot the Mac. • If the scanner makes grinding noises, the carriage lock may be engaged. Turn the scanner off and unscrew or unlock it. SOFTWARE INSTALLATION • From the Silverscan software, move the "Silverscan" file located in the “For System Folder” to the Control Panel Folder of your System Folder. • Restart the Mac. One of the icons at startup should be the Silverscan icon. If it is finding the scanner it should have a rainbow of colors on the icon. If it is just gray (with a little green dot), it is not finding the scanner. Check the SCSI ID and termination, remove any other external SCSI devices and try again. • Move the "Silverscan PS" file located in the “For Photoshop” folder to the Plug-Ins folder in the Photoshop Folder. Copy only the Silverscan PS file - not the For Photoshop folder. • Launch Photoshop and go under File to Preferences to Plug-Ins or to Plug-Ins and Scratch Disk (it depends on the version of Photoshop). Highlight the Plug-Ins Folder (or the folder that the Silverscan PS was placed in). Do not open the folder. Select the folder. • Quit Photoshop and then re-launch. That will load the Preferences you created. • Go under File to either Acquire or Import (again, it depends on the version of Photoshop) and Silverscan should be available to select.
