Initialization methods

SCSI Scanner is turned on or receives a SCSI

Reset signal from the SCSI interface (hardware initialization). Scanner receives a SCSI Bus Device message or an Esc @ command from the software (software initialization)

USB Scanner is turned on or USB cable is

unplugged from the USB port on the scanner (hardware initialization) Scanner receives a Bus Reset from the USB interface, or an Esc @ command from the software (software initialization)

Optional Transparency Unit (B813182)

The transparency unit allows you to scan positive and negative transparent materials—35 mm slides, 35 mm filmstrips, and

film or documents up to 8.5 × 11.7 inches in size. In addition

to four film guides, it comes with a reflective document mat that allows you to alternate between scanning transparent materials and normal reflective (paper) documents.
