Setting up the Scanner  
Setting up the Scanner  
Environmental Requirements  
Set up the scanner in a location that fulfils the following requirements:  
Keep the scanner away from sources of heat, such as direct sunlight or  
a radiator. Warm temperatures will degrade the quality of your scans -  
for best results, work in a cool environment.  
The scanner must be operated away from sources of strong  
electromagnetic interference. Although the scanner complies with all  
regulations governing electromagnetic immunity and Hasselblad has  
taken every reasonable step to make the unit immune to  
electromagnetic interference, it is still a precision electronic device so  
strong radio waves can interfere with your scans.  
The surface on which the scanner is placed must be stable and free  
from vibrations. If the scanner is shaken or moved while scanning,  
your results may be affected.  
If the scanner has been in a colder environment (e.g. outside or in  
storage) just before you set it up in a warmer room, then wait about  
two hours before using it - otherwise, condensation may form, which  
will prevent the scanner from operating correctly.  
Avoid using the scanner in areas where there is a high level of dust.  
To prevent dust from getting into the scanner, always close the feed  
table when the scanner is not in use.  
Electrical Requirements  
The Flextight 343 power supply requires a mains voltage of between 100  
and 240 V AC at a frequency of 50 to 60 Hz. This is within the normal  
wall-socket power standards of most countries. Do not attempt to use  
Flextight 343 with any power source outside the specified range.  
The scanner and all devices attached to the scanner (computer, monitor,  
and FireWire devices, etc.) must be grounded (i.e. use a three-point  
electrical connection).  
Note that the power supply may emit a low hissing sound when  
plugged in but not connected to the scanner. This is normal and will not  
damage the power supply or scanner.

Setting up the Scanner  
Installation Procedure, FireWire Interface  
1. Place the scanner on a table near your computer with the front  
facing away from you. Make sure that the location you choose meets  
all environmental - and electrical requirements as described on page  
10.  
2. When using a FireWire interface connection, it is not necessary to  
switch of your computer and other connected units. Connect a  
FireWire cable from one of the FireWire connectors on your scanner  
(see “Back Panel & Connectors” on page 8) to either the computer's  
FireWire connector or to a free FireWire connector on any other  
FireWire device already connected to your computer.  
3. Connect the round connector from your power supply to the round  
power supply socket on the back of the scanner.  
4. IMPORTANT: Make sure that the wall socket you are planning to  
use meets the electrical requirements outlined earlier.  
Plug the Flextight 343 power supply into a wall socket. Note that the  
power supply may emit a low buzzing sound when plugged in. This  
is normal and will not damage the power supply or scanner.  
5. Turn the scanner around so that the front is facing you.  
6. Your system is assembled. Turn on your computer and install the  
FlexColor image scanning software.

Operating the Scanner  
Operating the Scanner  
(See Figure 4 opposite).  
1. It is assumed that the scanner and FlexColor software have been  
properly installed.  
2. Pull the feed table (B) down to scan position.  
3. Press the power button (G) on the front of the scanner to switch it  
on. The indicator light (F) button will start flashing green, indicating  
that no firmware has been downloaded yet. It will be downloaded  
automatically later when you first run the FlexColor program.  
4. Turn on your computer and launch the FlexColor program. The  
indicator light (F) will stop flashing indicating that firmware has  
been downloaded to the scanner.  
5. Select the original holder (D) that matches your original.  
6. Place the original holder with the slotted tab facing into the scanner.  
The flexible magnetic layer (C) must face upwards and the holder  
must fit between the guides (A) on both sides of the feed table.  
7. Slide the holder gently into the original holder clasp (H) at the  
scanner entrance. It will slip about ½ cm (1/4 inch) into it. Do not  
press too hard. It slips in very easily and is held in place by a pair of  
magnets. To remove the holder, simply pull it gently backwards.  
8. Lift the magnetic layer (C) of the original holder and place your  
original (E) with the emulsion side up. The original must completely  
fill the hole with no edges showing and with a minimum overlap of  
2mm along each edge. Also, no edges of the original must extend  
past the outer edges of the holder. Use the grid in the light area (J) of  
the feed table (B) to help line up the image.  
9. Lay the top layer of the holder down flat over the original. The top  
layer (C) is magnetic, which will hold the original in place.  
10. Go to your computer and follow the directions given in the  
FlexColor software manual to take a preview, make settings, and  
take the final scan.

True Optical Resolutions  
The table below shows the true optical resolutions (in ppi) available with  
each of the original holders. When scanning at one of the resolution  
settings listed, one pixel in the scanner’s image sensor corresponds  
exactly to one pixel in the final image. If you use a resolution setting  
other than those listed, then interpolation (resizing) must be applied.

Table 1: True Optical Resolutions  
To avoid activating the resizer, select a zoom setting that gives one of the  
results listed in Table 1. When resizing is applied, the scans take longer  
and image quality is slightly reduced. The impact on the image quality  
will vary according to the amount of interpolation required and the  
contents of your original.

The Light Tube  
The Light Tube  
Orientation of the Light Tube  
Flextight 343 contains a light tube that illuminates your originals while  
scanning. The light tube is fitted with a reflective sleeve, which must be  
aligned correctly inside the scanner. The sleeve helps direct the light to  
achieve maximum illumination of the original. When you replace the  
light tube, you must make sure the sleeve is aligned correctly.  
Sometimes the sleeve is glued into place when the scanner is first  
shipped from the factory, but when you replace a light tube, the sleeve  
will not be glued; it will be tight so that it can not slip freely, but you will  
be able to rotate it manually if you try. The correct orientation of the  
sleeve is shown in Figure 5.

The Light Tube  
Replacing the Light Tube  
If your scans are suddenly coming out black (or all white if you are  
scanning negatives), then the light tube may be defective or misaligned.  
Follow procedure below to replace a tube:  
1. Get the appropriate replacement light tube (ask your Flextight dealer  
or see specification in “Technical Specifications” on page 20).  
2. Turn off and unplug the scanner from the primary power supply.  
3. IMPORTANT: Let the light tube cool down for app. 10 minutes  
before proceeding.  
4. Lay the scanner down on its back, with the bottom facing you.  
5. Use a 2.5 mm allen key to remove the screws located at each of the  
four corners of the bottom panel (see Figure 6), then remove the  
bottom panel.

The Light Tube  
6. The light tube is clearly visible, as shown in Figure 7. Hold each end  
of the light tube between your thumb and index finger. Rotate the  
light tube until it comes free and pull it away from the scanner. Note  
that the light tube sockets allow the tube to be rotated all the way  
around, but they click into position at each quarter turn. The light  
tube is locked in place in all but one of these four positions, so you  
may need to try up to three positions before the light tube comes  
free.  
Feed Table (closed)  
The holes in the light tube  
sleeve must point forwards,  
towards the feed table.  
Light Tube

7. Install a new light tube following the reverse of the procedure you  
used when removing it. Make sure the sleeve is aligned correctly  
with the scanner as shown in Figure 5. Rotate the light tube and/or  
adjust the sleeve as necessary.  
8. Replace the bottom panel by holding it in place and tightening the  
screws in an opposite-diagonal sequence (e.g. top-left, bottom-right,  
top-right, bottom-left) as indicated in Figure 6.  
9. Turn on the scanner and check function of the new tube.
