guidelines for energy

Office Equipment program is a voluntary partnership with the computer and office equipment industry to promote the introduction of energy-efficient personal computers, monitors, printers, fax machines, scanners, and copiers in an effort to reduce air pollution caused by power generation.

Important Safety Instructions

Read all of these instructions and save them for later reference. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the scanner.

■ Unplug the scanner before cleaning. Clean with a damp cloth only. Do not spill

liquid on the scanner.

■ Do not place the scanner on an unstable surface or near a radiator or heat source.

■ Do not block or cover the openings in the scanners cabinet. Do not insert objects

through the slots.

■ Use only the type of power source indicated on the scanners label.

■ Connect all equipment to properly grounded power outlets. Avoid using outlets

on the same circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and off.

■ Do not let the power cord become damaged or frayed.

■ If you use an extension cord with the scanner, make sure the total ampere rating

of the devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cords ampere rating. Also, make sure the total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlets ampere rating.

■ Do not attempt to service the scanner yourself.

■ Unplug the scanner and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the

following conditions:

If the power cord or plug is damaged; if liquid has entered the scanner; if the scanner has been dropped or the cabinet damaged; if the scanner does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance. Do not adjust controls that are not covered by the operating instructions.

Setting Up Your Scanner

Setting up your scanner is easyjust follow the simple steps in this book in the order listed below.

1. Unpack and choose a place for your scanner.

2. Install the SCSI interface board, if necessary.

3. Unlock the scanner.

4. Set the SCSI ID number.

5. Connect the scanner to your computer.

6. Power on your system.

7. Install the SCSI software.

8. Install the scanner software.

9. Install the creative software and view your electronic manuals.

If you purchased the optional transparency unit or auto document feeder, see Using the Optional Equipment on page 67 for installation instructions.

Unpack Your Scanner

Remove the scanner from the box, then remove the packing material from your scanner. Save the packaging in case you need it later. Your EPSON Perfection 1200S comes with the items shown here.

Choose a Good Place for Your Scanner

Here are some points to consider:

■ Place the scanner on a flat, stable surface. If the scanner is tilted, it cant operate

properly.

■ Make sure to place the scanner where you can easily unplug the power cord, and

where the SCSI cable can reach your computer.

■ Keep the scanner away from direct sunlight and strong light sources.

■ Avoid places subject to shocks and vibrations, or high or rapidly changing

temperatures and humidity.

■ Be sure theres enough room behind the scanner for the cables, and above the

scanner so you can fully raise the document cover.

Install the SCSI Interface Board

You must install your SCSI board before installing the scanner driver and software applications. If you have a Macintosh with a SCSI interface, or if you already have a SCSI board installed in your PC, skip this section.

For additional installation information, see your computer documentation.

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 PC, or open up your Power Macintosh G3.

Static electricity can damage electronic components. Ground yourself before you touch any of the computers internal components by touching an unpainted metal surface inside the computer case.

3. Remove the slot cover from an empty PCI expansion slot in your computer. (See

your computer documentation for information about your PCI slots.)

4. Insert the interface board into the slot; then secure

it with the bracket screw.

5. Replace the computer cover and reconnect all

cables.

Once you install the SCSI board, continue with the following section, Unlock the Scanner.

bracket screw

Unlock the Scanner

Before connecting the scanner to a power source, you must release the transportation lock, located on the side of the scanner.

Turn the transportation lock down to the unlocked position using a coin or similar object, as shown.

If you cant turn the transportation lock easily, turn the scanner on; then, after the operate light starts flashing red, turn the scanner off and try again.

Always lock the scanner carriage before transporting it; otherwise, the scanner may be damaged. Be sure the scanner lamp is in the home position (toward the back of the scanner). To ensure this, always turn off the scanner before locking the carriage.

home position

Set the SCSI ID Number

The scanner is preset at the factory to SCSI ID 2. If you need to change this number, turn the scanner off. Then use the tip of a small flathead screwdriver to turn the rotary switch on the back panel. Be sure to choose a unique number that doesnt conflict with the ID number of other SCSI devices (including the SCSI interface board itself, which is usually ID 7).

Dont use SCSI ID 8 or 9 for your scanner; these are for factory use only.

If youre installing either of the scanner options, see Transparency Unit on page 67 or Auto Document Feeder on page 73.

Connect the Scanner to Your Computer

Before you begin, make sure the scanner, computer, and any SCSI devices connected to your computer are turned off. The scanner is off when the down below the surface of the panel).

1. Locate the SCSI cable that came with your scanner.

2. Squeeze the lock releases on the cable connector and plug the cable into either

SCSI connector on the back of the scanner. The cable is secure when both connector locks snap in. Then connect the other end to the SCSI port on your computer or another SCSI device in the chain, and tighten the screws to secure the cable.

operate button is out (not pushed

If you are using a cable other than the one provided, the length of the cable must not exceed 9.8 feet (3 meters). If you are connecting multiple SCSI devices, the total length of the SCSI bus (cables) must not exceed 19.7 feet (6 meters); otherwise the system may not work properly

3. Locate the SCSI terminator switch at the rear of the scanner. If the scanner is the

only SCSI device in the chain or if its the last device in the chain, leave the terminator turned on. Turn the terminator switch off if youve connected your scanner in the middle of a SCSI chain.

Do not use an external terminator.

4. Plug in the power cables for your computer, scanner, and other external SCSI

devices.

Power On Your Scanner and System

Always turn your scanner and other SCSI devices on before you turn on the computer. Otherwise, the computer may not recognize your EPSON scanner when you install your software. The operate light on the top of the scanner blinks as the scanner initializes. Once the scanner is turned on, power on your computer system.

Whenever you turn off the scanner, wait at least 10 seconds before turning it back on. Rapidly turning the scanner on and off can damage the scanner.

Install the SCSI Software

Once the SCSI interface card is installed in a PCI slot, your computer must locate and install the SCSI cards software drivers. The scanner and the scanning software will not work if the SCSI cards software drivers are not installed immediately after installing the card. You can disregard this section if your computer already has a SCSI port.

Windows 95/98, Windows NT 4.0, and Macintosh operating systems each have a different driver installation procedure, so follow the instructions below for your operating system. The scanner software comes on two CD-ROMs: one for Windows and one for the Macintosh. Make sure you have the correct CD-ROM for your operating system.

If Youre Running Windows 95 or Windows 98 . . .

Depending on how your computer system was originally set up, you may be asked to insert your Windows operating system CD-ROM during the SCSI software installation process. Please have your Windows CD-ROM handy in case it is needed.

Follow these steps to install the SCSI driver:
