1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Avision color image scanner.
Avision is one of the leading companies to make high quality color
image scanners.
To ensure the optimal performance of the scanner, please take a
few minutes to read through this manual before you install and
operate the new scanner. The manual contains valuable
information on how to unpack, install, operate, and maintain the
scanner properly.
AV620CS Plus 1-1
Figure 1-1 in below shows how the scanner is packed. Please
check if all items are included. If there is any item missing or
damaged, please contact your nearest dealer immediately for
replacement.

2. SCANNER INSTALLATION
2.1 PRECAUTIONS
v Keep the scanner out of direct sunlight. Direct exposure to
the sun or excessive heat may cause damage to the unit.
v Do not install the scanner in a humid or dusty place.
v Be sure to use the proper AC power source.
v Place the scanner securely on an even, flat surface. Tilted or
uneven surfaces may cause mechanical problems.
v Keep the shipping box and the material in case you may need
to ship the scanner again.
AV620CS Plus 2-1
2.2 UNLOCKING YOUR SCANNER
To protect the scanning unit from damage during
transportation, a lock switch is designed under the scanner
to keep the scanning unit from moving.To unlock the
scanner, please first place the scanner as Fig. 2-1 and
locate the lock switch at the corner and then move the lock
switch to the “Unlock” position as shown in below.

unlock
Figure 2-1 Unlocking the Scanner
Note: Likewise, if next time you need to transport the scanner, be
sure to move the lock switch to the “Lock” position. Otherwise,
there may be some damage to the scanning unit during
transportation and the manufacturer is therefore not responsible
for this.
2-2 AV620CS Plus
2.3 SETTING SCSI ID
When you have several devices on a SCSI chain, you may have to
adjust the SCSI ID selector setting at the back of the scanner(See
Figure 2-2). This setting assigns a specific "device ID" to the
scanner. If the ID number is duplicate with an existing SCSI device
on the SCSI chain, please select a new ID#.
Note: The factory setting for the scanner is ID# 6. Usually, ID# 0 is
assigned to an internal hard disk drive, and ID# 7, to SCSI adapter or
host. ID# 8 and #9 are not in use.
2.4 SETTING SCSI TERMINATOR
The scanner is equipped with a built-in terminator switch on the rear
side of the scanner(See also Figure 2-2). Move the switch to the
“on” position to enable the SCSI termination or to the “off” position
to disable the SCSI termination. The SCSI termination ensures the
electrical signal flow through the SCSI chain properly.
As a result, if the scanner is the only or final device connected to
your computer, you should enable your SCSI chain to terminate at
the scanner by moving the terminator switch to the “on” position. If
your scanner is linked between the host computer and other SCSI
devices, then the SCSI chain should terminate at the final SCSI
device. In the case, disable your SCSI termination on the scanner
by moving the terminator switch to “off” position.)

provided with the scanner should cause damage to the scanner and
void the warranty.
