Connecting the Scanner to Your Computer
You can connect the scanner to your computer in any of these ways:
■USB
If you have a Power Macintosh or your computer is running Windows 98, you
can connect the Expression 1600 with the USB cable that came with the scanner.
Windows 98 must be preinstalled on your computer; it cannot be upgraded from
Windows 95. There is no USB support for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0.
■SCSI
If you have a Power Macintosh or your Windows computer has an
ASPI-compliant SCSI 2 board (Adaptec® boards are recommended), you can
connect the scanner with a SCSI 2 cable not more than 19.7 feet long. If you’re
connecting multiple SCSI devices, the total length of the SCSI bus (cables)
should not exceed 9.8 feet. If your computer is running Windows 95 or Windows
NT 4.0, you must use a SCSI connection.
■IEEE 1394 (FireWire)
If you have the Professional FireWire model of the Expression 1600, or you’ve
purchased the optional IEEE 1394 FireWire scanner interface card, you can
connect the scanner to your Power Macintosh with the IEEE 1394 FireWire cable
that came with your scanner or card. Your Power Macintosh must have a built-in
IEEE 1394 FireWire port or an IEEE 1394 FireWire PCI card, and must be
running Macintosh OS 8.6 or later with FireWire Update 2.1 or later.
Adaptec Power Domain®
not compatible with scanners.
See “IEEE 1394 FireWire Scanner Interface Card” on
page 106 for instructions on installing the IEEE 1394 FireWire
scanner interface card in your scanner.
If you install a USB card in your Macintosh and then upgrade
your system to OS 8.6, your USB Manager won’t be installed
and your scanner may not work. To have USB support, you
must perform a full installation of OS 8.6 from a CD-ROM
before you install the card.
SCSI boards for the Macintosh are
25
Connecting to a USB Interface
With the USB interface, you can connect or remove your scanner without having to
shut down or restart your computer.
Don’t disconnect or connect the USB cable when the
Expression 1600 is scanning.
Windows 98 must be preinstalled on your computer, not upgraded from
Windows 95. There is no USB support for Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0.
1. Locate the USB cable that came with your scanner.
2. Connect the square end of the USB
cable to the scanner’s USB port.
3. Connect the flat end of the USB
cable to your computer’s USB port
or USB hub port.
If your scanner and computer are both powered on, you see the Add New Hardware
Wizard (Windows) or a message that your scanner driver needs to be installed
(Macintosh). Continue with the instructions in “Installing the Windows Software” on
page 30 or “Installing the Macintosh Software” on page 47.
26
If you’re using a USB hub, connect the scanner to a first tier
hub, which is the hub closest to the computer. If the scanner
doesn’t work with the hub, connect it directly to a USB port
on your computer.
Connecting to a SCSI Interface
Before you connect the scanner, you must have an ASPI-compliant SCSI 2
interface board installed in your computer (Adaptec SCSI 2 interface boards are
recommended). Some computers come with a SCSI 2 board preinstalled; check your
computer documentation.
Adaptec Power Domain SCSI boards for the Macintosh are
not compatible with scanners.
If you purchased the board as an option, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to
install both the board and its driver.
You may also need to change the
SCSI ID switch
scanner’s SCSI ID setting before you
connect it to your computer. If you have
another SCSI device that uses SCSI ID 2,
turn the scanner off and turn the SCSI
ID switch on the back of the scanner to a
new number.
Choose a number that doesn’t conflict with the ID number of
other SCSI devices. Don’t use SCSI ID 0, 1, or 7. If your
Macintosh has a built-in CD-ROM, don’t use SCSI ID 3. Also,
only use the asterisk (*) setting when you need to transport
the scanner.
Follow these steps to connect the scanner to a SCSI interface:
1. Make sure the scanner and computer are turned off. (The scanner is off when the
P Operate button is out and the ERROR and READY lights are off.)
27
2. Squeeze the lock releases on the lock
connector end of your SCSI cable, and
then 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 to another SCSI device in the chain.
Tighten the screws to secure the cable.
If you’re connecting multiple SCSI devices, the total length
of the SCSI bus (cables) should not exceed 9.8 feet (three
meters); otherwise the system may not work properly. If you
are connecting the scanner directly to your computer, use a
cable no more than 19.7 feet (six meters) long.
Don’t use an external terminator.
4. Locate the SCSI terminator switch at the rear of the scanner.
If the scanner is your only SCSI device, or if it’s the last device in a SCSI chain,
leave the terminator switch turned ON.
28
If you’ve connected your scanner in the
middle of a SCSI chain, turn the
terminator switch OFF.
5. Plug in the power cables for your
computer, scanner, and other external
SCSI devices.
Continue with the instructions in “Installing
the Windows Software” on page 30 or
“Installing the Macintosh Software” on
page 47.

Connecting to an IEEE 1394 FireWire Interface
If you have the Professional FireWire model of the Expression 1600, or if you’ve
purchased the optional IEEE 1394 FireWire scanner interface card, you can connect
the scanner to your Macintosh using an IEEE 1394 FireWire interface. Your
Macintosh must have a built-in IEEE 1394 FireWire port or an IEEE 1394 FireWire
PCI card.
See “IEEE 1394 FireWire Scanner Interface Card” on
page 106 for information about system requirements and
instructions on installing the card. See page 93 for information
about ordering the card.
The IEEE 1394 FireWire scanner interface card has two cable connectors. You can
use either one to connect the scanner directly to your computer. At the same time,
you can use the second connector to connect other IEEE 1394 FireWire devices in a
daisy chain or tree configuration. You can also connect the scanner to another IEEE
1394 FireWire device so that it’s the last IEEE 1394 FireWire device in a chain
connected to your computer.
Neither your scanner nor your computer has to be off when you connect the cable.
However, be careful not to connect or disconnect the cable when the scanner is in use.
Follow these steps to connect the scanner:
1. Locate the cable that came with the card.
Connect one end of the cable to the
IEEE 1394 FireWire port on the card.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the
IEEE 1394 FireWire port on your computer
or on another IEEE 1394 FireWire device.
Continue with “Installing the Macintosh
Software” on page 47.
