New Look Studio Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Hope someone can advise. I have just purchased a used sp-3000 but after starting up and selecting print/export I get the message connection to the imaging controller failed! Check the network connection. E-1775 1st service menu not found. Any help much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paudiek Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 How are you on networking? If on C4/C5 S/W, set both image controller and SP to Dynamic. Both will have to be part of the same network "Digilab" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Look Studio Posted September 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Hi thanks for your reply but not up on this scanner at all we bought it for our photography business to scan our films. We have the unit as a standalone its not connected to any printer or any other system? The software that came with it is 355/375/550/570 system and driver disk plus 2 recovery cd and a floppy disk. So if you could advise or even walk me through setup I would happily pay you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericj Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 I'm getting not terribly far trying to do the same thing on a SP2500 ie make it stand-alone. Unfortunately in my case the Toshiba PC failed - probably motherboard and now I have a second failed Toshiba PC and am hoping that I can combine them and get one working! Unfortunately I think it may be that both have failed motherboards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Look Studio Posted September 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Im wondering if I need some specific software to use this scanner as a stand alone unit? What software do you guys use and where can I get it from? Any help would be much appreciated. I just need to use the unit as a stand alone and burn the images to disc.

piotr Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 As I know - I just purchased sp-2500 - you need to reinstall your fuji software. You need to install it as a standalone unit, plus you need an other computer that's connected via Lan to a scanner unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Look Studio Posted September 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 I have reinstalled the software from recovery cd and installed both drivers and system software as standalone onto computer system but it fails to initialise scanner unless I upload the information held on the floppy disk that came with the unit. The scanner and other image processing unit connect to the back of the main PC using firewire and USB I don't appear to have a lan connection coming from the scanner?

paudiek Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 PM me ericj, I have had similar problems with the Control unit on a SP2500 and tell me exactly what happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paudiek Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 New look studio, the firewire is for the LP2500 printer, USB has nothing to do here. There is a ethernet directly on the equium PC. That connects directly to the image controller. I forger if the ethernet is straight trough or cross over but if you use a network switch box, is should do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paudiek Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 you did not need to reload the S/W and may need to re-load the C4/C5 S/W back on the Scanner for it to work. In the scanner, there is the ability to get into your networking as you can on your image controller. If not control+alt+delete and end running programs to allow you to check the networking. If you do not know networking, and as it is the weekend...grab the nearest geek kid and ask them to check in the networking that 1. that both the Scanner and image controller both belong to the Digilab group and that the IP address is set to dynamic. I sent you a PM also New look studio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbodnarphoto Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 The SP2500 has to be run with an external PIC as far as I'm aware. The SP3000 is the first scanner that can download the images directly to the computer controlling the scanner. It does require some workarounds, from my understanding. I just purchased an SP3000 and will have to go thru this exact same ordeal. I believe PTS can do the coding and workaround for you, but it might cost an arm and a leg. It might be cheaper just to buy an external PIC already setup with Fuji Software to run as a standalone. I think they go for about $1500. Let me know if you've come to any conclusions! God knows I'll need the help in a couple weeks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sisir Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 You have to have the DIC to convert the scanned films. So you have to install a DIC within your network. Please feel free to ask any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_yesterday Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Hello all, Is anyone able to explain some terminology to me? In particular, the 'C4/C5 S/W' (I'm guessing S/W is 'software'). I have just purchased an SP-3000 and intend using it as a standalone scanner, and am having some trouble doing so. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toanisanidiot Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Has Anyone else been able to set up a SP3000 as a Standalone Unit? Im considering purchasing one, but cant find a cheap second hand DIC to go with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moniroth Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 M able to install sp3000 as standalone unit using FE Software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
servitel Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 Greetings, for C4/C5 be installed must have a computer on the network to serve as DIC (controller images) since this computer is that you set the folder that will store the scanned images, as the user SISIR.

Minilab service Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 The most simple to run SP3000 stand alone is install A1 ( main software ) and C4/C5. Also have connect external computer ( with instaled C4/C5 ) where you export scanned files. Also can run stand alone using FE software ( S1, S2 modules and drivers ) or MS-01 and MS-11 for SP-3000.

Toanisanidiot Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Thanks for the responses! Still looking into it... Does anyone know where I can get the software, C4/C5 or FE, for both the Scanner and DIC, without going through Fuji Directly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minilab service Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 I have all three - C4/C5, FE and MS-01 + MS-11 ( for SP-3000 ) . Also have manuals ( instillation, user...) and I'm not Fuji. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alper76 Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Hi Guys I have some late model SP3000 scanners including IBM or Dell servers available, stand alone ready to go. Will provide all recovery disks and C4C5. PM me for more details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Scovell Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 I am after the C4/C5 software & MS-010 + MS11 software for the SP3000 can someone email me scovell@onwight.net as I wish to obtain/purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minilab service Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Hi. You do not need C4/C5 and MS01 at the same time. Can use only one of them. On other hand maybe you want test one and then other. Decide what you really need and write me private message, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusri Jumi Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 hi all,where did you buy sp3000 stand alone unit?i want to buy 1 for my film project. thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpinefilmlab Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 We went through all of this trouble working with all the different software versions. Nothing worked for us and we went to PTS to have them put on some custom software to make it a stand-alone unit. It's expensive, but it works. We have not had a single problem with it. I recommend doing that. www.ptscsg.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
