1. INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the Avision document scanner.
Avision is one of the leading company to make high quality document
scanner.

To ensure the optimum 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 important information on how to
unpack, install, operate, and maintain the scanner properly. Figure 2-1
in below shows how the scanner is packed. Please check if all items are
included.

2. SCANNER INSTALLA TION

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 Only use the AC adapter (model name SA60-24 made by Sino

America) included with the machine. Using other AC adapters may
damage the machine and therefore void the warranty.

v Place the scanner securely on an even, flat surface. Tilted or

uneven surfaces may cause mechanical or paper-feeding problems.

v Keep the shipping box and the material in case you may need to

ship the scanner again.

2.2 SCANNER UNPACKING

Please unpack the scanner carefully. If any item is missing or damaged,
please contact your authorized Avision dealer immediately.

Remove the shipping retainer:

1. Place the scanner on its side as shown to reveal the shipping
retainer as shown in Figure 2-1.

2. Unscrew the retainer screw.

3. Pull out the shipping retainer and put it in the “use position”(See
Figure 2-2) and secure it with the screw.

4. Lay down the scanner on the desk for normal operation.

Refit the shipping retainer:

Whenever you need to transport the scanner, please follow the
instructions below:

1. Turn off the scanner.

2. Raise the document cover. You can see clearly the flatbed glass as
well as the reading engine.

3. Turn on the scanner. At this moment, the reading engine will move
a few inches forward and stay there for a few seconds. Turn off
the scanner during this pause.

4. Raise the scanner high enough to unscrew the shipping retainer
from the “use position” and fix it in the “shipping position.”

SCSI ID:

When you have several devices on a SCSI chain, you may need to adjust
the SCSI ID selector setting located on the back of the scanner(See
Figure 2-3). This setting assigns a specific "device ID" to the scanner. If
the ID number is duplicate with an existing SCSI device, 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 actual.

Setting Terminator

The scanner is equipped with a built-in terminator switch on the rear of
the scanner. (See Figure 2-3) Turn the terminator switch on if the
scanner is to be connected to the computer as the only or the last SCSI
device. Turn the terminator switch off if the scanner is to be located
between the computer and other SCSI device.

2.5 CONNECTING THE CABLES

Be sure the scanner power is switched off.

Connect the power cable and signal cable as Figure 2-8 and Figure 2-9.

Turning on the Power

The power is controlled by a toggle switch on the side of the
scanner. To turn on the scanner, press the switch toward "1."
At this moment, the POWER LED should light up. If not, check the
power.

Scanner Diagnostics

The scanner has a built-in self-diagnostic function to detect system
errors. The self test is initiated each time the scanner is turned on.
During the test, the READY LED is flashing. At the end of the test, if no
error occurs, the READY LED is steadily on.

2.6.1.1 ADAPTEC SCSI CARD

Hardware Installation

1. Turn off your computer.

2. Plug the SCSI card in an available slot of your computer. Be
sure to screw it firmly.

Software Installation

Windows 3.1

If your scanner comes with an Adaptec AVA-1505Ae, then the installation
of the SCSI card driver will be complete during the installation of the
scanner driver.

Windows 95/Windows 98/Windows NT4.0

Windows 95/98 has embedded driver support for your host adapter.
When you start Windows 95/98, the host adapter is detected and the
appropriate driver is automatically installed.

2-11

1. Press Start>Setting>Control Panel. And choose “SCSI Adapter”
from the Control Panel menu. The “SCSI Adapter” dialog box is
displayed. Choose Driver.

2. Choose “Add” and “Select manufacturer and SCSI adapter”.

Chip SCSI Controller” as the adapter and then Confirm.

4. Follow the on-screen instruction to complete the installation.

5. Restart your Windows NT 4.0.

2.6.1.2 OTHER SCSI CARDS

If you purchase your SCSI card separately from the scanner, then please
follow the installation instruction provided by your SCSI card supplier.

2.6.2 MAC USER

The Mac system already has SCSI controller built in. Connect the
system, therefore, set a different SCSI ID for each SCSI device.
