[. . . ] Note also that the existing firmware can not be overwritten by an earlier version. No operations of any kind, including moving the mouse, should be performed on the host computer while the updater is running. You should also turn off any programs such as screen savers that start after a certain length of time has passed. Before performing an update, check again to make sure that the power cables for both the scanner and host computer, and the interface cable(s) connecting the two, are firmly in place. [. . . ] The dialog shown below will be displayed. (1) (2) (3) (4) Device name (LS-2000/COOLSCAN III) Current firmware version Host adapter ID Device ID Once the updater has located an LS-2000 or COOLSCAN III scanner, a message like that shown above will be displayed in the device name box. The version number shown in the message box is the version number of the firmware that will be written to the scanner by the update program. If the message "No LS-2000 connected" is displayed in the message box, the computer is unable to detect an LS-2000 scanner. Restart the updater after making sure that the computer can detect the LS-2000. Should you attempt to replace the scanner firmware with an earlier version, the message "This LS-2000 does not need to be updated" will be displayed. The updater can not replace firmware with the same or an earlier version number (note that the higher the version number, the later the version). Once a message has been displayed in the message box, the updater will pause to wait for input. The operations performed by each of these buttons are explained below. Clicking Yes in this dialog will start the process of replacing the firmware. Note: As part of this operation, about thirty seconds are needed to load data, followed by another period of approximately thirty seconds to initialize the device.

" Although the firmware was successfully copied to the scanner, the program failed to initialize the device. Note that the scanner may not initialize normally when the FH-2 strip-film holder is in place in the MA-20 adapter. In this case you should remove the FH-2 before turning the scanner off and on.
