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.

2.6.1.2 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.
