Follow the guidelines below when selecting a location for your
scanner:
Place the scanner on a flat, stable surface. The scanner will not
❏
operate properly if it is tilted at an angle.
Place the scanner close enough to the computer for the
❏
interface cable to reach it easily.
Place the scanner near a wall outlet where the power cord can
❏
be easily unplugged.
Note for French-speaking users:
Placez le scanner près d’une prise de courant où la fiche peut-être
débranchée facilement.
Allow space behind the scanner for the cables, and space
❏
above the scanner so that you can fully raise the document
cover.

Installing a SCSI Interface Board
For Perfection 1200S model users only.
Unless your computer already has a SCSI board installed, you
need to install a SCSI board and SCSI software before installing
the scanner driver and software applications.
If you have a Macintosh that has a SCSI interface or if you already
have a SCSI board installed in your PC or Macintosh, go to the
next section.
Note:
For additional information, see the installation guide that comes with
your SCSI board.
1. Turn off the computer and any peripheral devices. Unplug
any power cords, then disconnect all cables from the back
panel of your computer.
2. Remove the cover from your computer.
Caution:
w
Static electricity can damage electronic components.
Discharge static electricity by touching the metal frame of
your computer before handling the interface board or any of
the computer’s circuit boards.
3. Insert the interface board into an appropriate expansion slot,
then secure it with the retaining screw.
4. Replace the computer cover and reconnect all cables.

Releasing the Transportation Lock
Before connecting the scanner to a power source, you must release
the transportation lock.
1. Place the scanner on a flat, stable surface with the back facing
you.
2. Turn the transportation lock on the right side to the unlocked
position using a coin or similar object, as shown below.
Note:
When you cannot turn the transportation lock because of excessive
❏
resistance, turn the scanner on, then, after the operate light starts
flashing red, turn the scanner off, and try again. See the next section
to turn on the scanner.

Initialization
Before connecting the scanner to your computer, follow the steps
below to make sure that the scanner is operating properly.
1. Open the document cover so you can see the operation of the
scanner during initialization (startup).
2. Turn on the scanner by pressing the

Note:
When the scanner is ready, the fluorescent lamp will also stay on,
but the scanner will turn off the fluorescent lamp if it does not receive
any commands from computer within 14 minutes.
Connecting the Scanner (SCSI) to Your Computer
For instructions on connecting your SCSI model scanner to your
computer, read this section.
For PC users:
Unless your PC already has a SCSI board installed, you need to
install the one that comes with your scanner, along with SCSI
driver software. Install the SCSI board according to the directions
included with it. Also see “Installing a SCSI Interface Board” on
page 2-4.
If your PC has a SCSI board up and running, connect the scanner
as described in the next section.
Note:
You will need to install the SCSI driver that is normally included
❏
with Windows 95, 98, or NT (see your system documentation for
instructions), or the driver described in the SCSI board installation
documentation.
❏
2-8
You can update the SCSI driver already installed on your system
by installing EZ-SCSI included in your Scanner Software CDROM. Refer to the readme file for EZ-SCSI for further information.
Setting Up the Scanner
For Macintosh users:
Your Macintosh may or may not have SCSI ports, depending on
which model you own. If you have a new Power Macintosh G3,
you need to install the SCSI board and driver that came with your
scanner by following the included instructions. Also, see
“Installing a SCSI Interface Board” on page 2-4. The SCSI driver
for the SCSI board that comes with your scanner is included in
your Scanner Software CD-ROM. Refer to the README FIRST
for further information. Follow the directions below to connect
your scanner and computer.
Note:
The latest driver may be available for download from the Web site of the
SCSI board manufacturer.
Understanding SCSI connections
Read the following sections to determine how to set up your SCSI
devices and whether you need any optional SCSI cables.
Daisy Chain
The SCSI interface allows you to connect up to seven devices (such
as a scanner, hard disk, CD-ROM, and so on) to the computer, in what
is called a “daisy chain” arrangement. Only the first SCSI device in
a daisy chain is connected to the computer; each of the other devices
is connected to another SCSI device.

2-9
SCSI Cables
You may need to purchase SCSI cables before setting up your SCSI
daisy chain. Be sure the SCSI cable connectors are suitable for your
hardware, depending on the maker of your SCSI device and SCSI
interface board.
SCSI ID and terminator
Each device has a SCSI ID number: the computer is usually
number 7, and each of the other devices must have a different
number between 0 and 6. Also, the first device and the last device
in the chain (not including the computer) must have a terminator.
No other device can have a terminator, or if a terminator does
exist, it must be turned off or removed.
Setting the SCSI ID number
The scanner's default SCSI ID number is 2.
The SCSI ID rotary switch
is located at the rear of
the scanner.

If you add the scanner to a system in which one of your SCSI devices
already has a SCSI ID of 2, change the ID number to an unused
number using the rotary switch. See the table below as a guide.
