† More memory may be required depending on fi lm type, scan size, resolution, bit depth, the number of 

scans performed in each session, the adapter used, and on whether Digital ROC, Digital GEM or Digital 
DEE is used.  A system with more than the minimum amount of memory is recommended.

mends having as much free disk space as possible when running Nikon Scan.

X computers with a USB 2.0 interface support high-speed USB.  For more information, consult the 
manufacturer.  Users of Mac OS X whose computer is not equipped with USB 2.0 can install a RATOC 
PCIU3U USB 2.0 interface board (for more information, visit Ratoc Systems English-language web-site 
at http://www.ratocsystems.com/english/index.html).

menu, open the “Energy Saver” pane (in Mac OS 9, select Energy Saver from the Control Panels sub-
