sp-3000 FUJIFILM FRONTIER SP-3000

[matber]

Hi! 

I'm thinking about buying a Fujifilm Frontier SP-3000.
However, I need to know if it will aqquire som additional costs. 

I attached the picture the seller has in the listing. He says that the scanner does not come with a PC, due to the fact that the PC was sold with the machine it was connected to. 
I'm assuming he had a printer connected to it, and that the machine was sold along with the printer? 

So from what I understand this is a scanner with no computer. Is is hard to connect a new computer and install the drivers? 
What will the additional cost be? 

If anyone has any idea, I gladly appreciate some help. As I said - I'm new to this and doesn't know much about it. 
But I'm hoping someone in here knows. :-)

- Matt

Hi,
if to open the left door - there MUST be a PC inside.
A scanner PC.
If here is no scanner PC- ask for a big discount.

If there is a PC exists - it is easy to convert this very good scanner into a stand alone unit if to obtain one more PC for a server and use different software packages, A1 (scanner) +C4/C5 (server) , MS01 + MS11 or FE software (S2)...
We usually recommend our customers to use SP3000  with MS01+MS11.
If you need a software - let me know by writing the message to info@minilablaser.com.
Please note:
if the seller of this scanner will provide you with a backup of the scanner - it will be perfect,  because it will save a lot of time on future scanner adjustments.

Hi Yustas! 

Thank you very much for the fast and very kind reply. 

The seller has only this device, and he usually sells Noritsu. He has no experience with these scanners and says that it will be my responsibility to connect it and set it up. That's why I'm asking here if anyone has any good advice about how to get it to work. I will double check to see if there is a scanner PC inside. 
I'm looking to use this scanner as a scan to file only. No printing. I assume that's what you call a stand alone unit? 

He's asking about 3000$ for the scanner. How much should the discount be if it's sold without the scanner PC?
And if there is no scanner PC - can you connect a regular windows PC?

Thank you so much for your reply. 

- Matt.

U P D A T E !

 

I sent an email asking if there really was not a scanner PC included, and he showed me these pictures. 
That probably makes things easier? All I need now is a extra PC to be used as a server - is that correct?
 

And do I still need to install software? I'm sorry for all my questions, but I really have no experience with these machines. 

I'm very happy for all the help I can get.

Usually the people who ask how to have it running as a stand alone (without a connection to a lab) - they have a scanner PC at least.
It seems you have it too.
Pity that they did not make a backup.
Are you sure in workability of the scanner?
How many and what carriers are in the kit?

Yes - now you need a server PC to obtain and a software kit.

 

[matber]

Looks like there is a scanner PC included - and yes, he says it is working.
With a backup, you mean an extra scanner to use for parts? 

Can any PC be used as a server? 

The carriers included are the diffusion box and for several types of film. You probably know better than me, so I'll attach the pictures. 

 

[yustas]

Backup is a not an extra scanner for parts (good idea) but a information about the previous adjustments of this scanner only.
Seems you have a carrier for scanning of 120 films (wide).
it isnot convenient for me to use a forum like a chat.
I will send you my cell phone for whatsapp, OK?

Hey guys! I have a fuji SP 3000 and been using it for about 5 months now, everything is running smoothly aside from when I export the pictures to a main PC they take for ever! its around 4 hours for 180 JPGS to export! Not sure how to fix this? 

[Minilab service]

Try reinstall scanner computer. On scanner computer install 1 GB speed PCI - LAN card. Original LAN is 100 MB.
If want can upgrade scanner computer, but it should have Windows 2000 drivers.

Also can use faster server computer. If on scanner used MS software then server can be modern computer where installed W10 x64 PRO.

The fastest system can have, if to add FMPC. Then scanned image to FMPC will be transferred using firewire.

And it would be great if you could place here a screenshot with scanner settings.
What resolution and type of files do you use at the moment?
