higher is not already installed on your computer, you can install Acrobat Reader 4.0
with the other scanner software. See the software installation instructions for your
system in Chapter 2, “Setting Up Your Scanner.”
When you open an electronic manual, you’ll see this toolbar:

With Acrobat Reader, you have several ways to navigate through text:
■ Click on hot topics, which are usually underlined or displayed in a different color.
To find out if a topic is hot, move your cursor over it. If the cursor turns into a
pointing hand, the topic is hot—you can jump to it by clicking once.
■ Use the bookmark section of the left side of the screen to move quickly to the
topic of your choice. Click the
Show/Hide Navigation Pane
icon on the toolbar
to see the bookmark section, if the manual has bookmarks. Some manuals only
have a table of contents, but you can also use this to navigate the manual if the
topics are hot.
■ Use the arrow buttons in the toolbar or the vertical scroll bar on the right side of
the document to move through the manual. (The box to the left of the scroll bar
displays the current page number.)

Setting Up Your Scanner
Setting up your scanner is easy—just follow the steps in this chapter in the order
listed below.
1. Unpack and choose a good place for your scanner.
2. Install the SCSI interface board (if necessary).
3. Unlock the scanner.
4. Set the SCSI ID number and terminator switch.
5. Initialize the scanner.
6. Connect the scanner to your computer.
7. Turn on your scanner first, then turn on your computer.
8. Install the SCSI software, scanner software, and any other software applications
on your EPSON GT-10000 Scanner Software CD-ROM.
Unpacking 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.
The scanner is large and heavy, so you may need to have
someone help you unpack and lift it.
Make sure you plug the scanner into a properly grounded
outlet. Check the system and location requirements and
follow all the safety instructions in Appendix C, “Notices.”

Along with this guide, your EPSON GT-10000 comes with these items:

Software CD-ROM
power cable
SCSI cable
PCI SCSI interface board
Choosing 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 your 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
■ Place the scanner near a grounded wall outlet where it can be easily unplugged.

Installing the SCSI Interface Board
You must install your SCSI board before installing the scanner driver and software
applications. If you already have a SCSI board installed in your PC, skip this section.
For additional installation information, see the documentation
for your SCSI board or computer.
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.
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. (Refer to
your computer documentation for information
about your PCI slots.)
4. Insert the SCSI interface board into the slot,
then secure it with the bracket screw.
5. Replace the computer cover and reconnect all
cables.
6. Continue with the following section,
“Unlocking the Scanner.”
10
Setting Up Your Scanner
Unlocking the Scanner
Before connecting the scanner
to a power source, you must
release the transportation lock,
located on the left side of the
scanner.
Use a coin or large flat-head
screwdriver to turn the
transportation lock to the
unlocked position, as shown.
Always lock the transportation lock before moving the
scanner. Also, be sure the scanner lamp is in the home
position (on the left side of the scanner). See “Transporting
the Scanner” on page 100 for more information.
unlocked position
Setting the SCSI ID Number
The scanner’s SCSI ID number default
setting is 2. If you need to change this
number, turn the SCSI ID dial on the
back panel. Be sure to choose a unique
number that doesn’t conflict with the
ID number of other SCSI devices.
Don’t use SCSI ID 7, which is usually
reserved for the SCSI interface in the
computer. SCSI ID 0 and 1 are also
not recommended, as these may be
used for the hard disk.
Setting Up Your Scanner
11
Setting the SCSI Terminator
The scanner’s SCSI terminator is built-in, with a switch to turn it on or off on the
scanner’s back panel.
If the scanner is your only SCSI device, leave the terminator turned ON (the default
setting).
If the scanner is the last device in the chain, leave the terminator turned ON.
If the scanner is in the middle of a chain, turn the switch

.
Connecting the Scanner to Your Computer
To make sure your scanner is working properly, it’s a good idea to turn it on before
you connect it to your computer. Open the scanner’s document cover so you can see
the operation of the lamp carriage, and press the
OPERATE
button.
As the scanner initializes, the OPERATE
light on the scanner’s front panel comes
on. After a few seconds, the READY light
comes on.
Once you know the scanner is working
properly, you can connect it to your
computer. Follow these steps:
1. Turn off your scanner. Make sure the
computer and any SCSI devices
connected to your computer are
turned off.
2. Connect the scanner to your computer
using the SCSI cable that came with
your scanner.
Squeeze the lock releases on the lock
connector end of the SCSI cable and plug
the cable into either SCSI connector on
the back of the scanner. The cable is
secure when both connector locks snap in.

3. Connect the pin end of the SCSI cable to the SCSI port on your computer or
another SCSI device in the chain and tighten the screws to secure the cable.
If you’re connecting multiple SCSI devices, the total length of
the SCSI bus (cables) must not exceed 9.8 feet (3 meters);
otherwise the system may not work properly.
If you’re connecting the scanner directly to your computer,
don’t use a cable longer than 19.7 feet (6 meters).
Don’t use an external terminator.

4. Plug in the power cables for your computer, scanner, and other external
SCSI devices.
Always turn on your scanner first. Otherwise, the computer may not recognize your
EPSON scanner when you install your software.
Installing the SCSI Software
Your scanner software CD-ROM includes the Windows 98, Windows 95, and
Windows NT 4.0 drivers for your SCSI board. You need to install the SCSI software
for your system before you can use your scanner.
Before you begin, make sure your SCSI interface board is installed, and your scanner
is connected to the computer. If you have already installed a SCSI interface board in
your PC, and have installed the SCSI software, go to one of the following sections to
install your scanner software for your system:
■ “Installing the Software for Windows 98” on page 19.
■ “Installing the Software for Windows 95” on page 24.
■ “Installing the Software for Windows NT 4.0” on page 29.
Installing the SCSI Software for Windows 98 and Windows 95
Depending on how your computer system was originally set up, the SCSI driver may
be installed automatically when you start your computer.
If your system doesn’t automatically detect the SCSI board, run EZ-SCSI, a special
Windows SCSI configuration utility. Insert your EPSON GT-10000 Scanner
Software CD-ROM in your drive. The EPSON Software Setup window should
appear. Click
