❚ Choosing a Place for the Scanner
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 comput er for th e in terface cable to reach it
easily.
■Place the scanner near a wall outlet where the power cord can be easily unplugged.
■Allow space behind the scanner for the cables, and space above the scanner so that
you can fully raise the document cover.
■Keep the scanner away from high temperatures, humidity and excessive dirt or
dust. Also avoid using or storing the scanner in places subject to rapid changes of
temperature and humi dity.
■Keep the scanner away from direct sunligh t an d strong light sources.
■Avoid places subject to shocks and vibrations.

Guide for details.
■ For PC users:
Unless your PC alre ady has a SCSI bo ard inst alled, yo u need to in stall on e, alon g with
SCSI driver software. Install the SCSI board according to the direc tions included with it.
Connecting the Scanner to Your Computer
13
If your PC has a SCSI board up and running, connect the scanner as descr ibed in the
next section.
Note:
You will need to install the SCSI dri ver that is no rmally inclu ded with W indows 20 00,
98, 95, or NT (see yo ur system docu mentation fo r instructions) , or the driver de scribed
in the SCSI board installation documentation.
■ For Macintosh users:
Your Macintosh may or may not have SCSI ports, depending on which model you own.
If you have a Macintosh that does not have a SCSI port, you need to install a SCSI
board and driver. 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.
■ Setting the SCSI ID number
scanner’s default SCSI ID number is 2.
The SCSI ID rotary switch is
located at the back 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 num ber using the rotary switch. See
the table below as a guide.

See Chapter 3, “Installing the Scanner Software for Macintosh,” in your online Setup
Guide for details.
■ Understanding USB connections
USB Cables
USB cables enable you to connect or remove peripherals to and from yo ur computer
easily, without having to shut down and restart the system each time a peri pheral is
plugged in or unplugged. You do no t have to set an ID number or a terminator.
Note:
Do not connect or d isconnect USB cables when the scanner is in use.
USB cables have 2 different connectors at each end.
Type A connects to your computer.
English
Type B connects to your scanner.
USB hub
You can also use a USB hub, allowing you to increase the number of USB ports and
therefore connect several peripher al s.
Note:
If you connect your scanner through more than one hub, your system may not work
properly. In this case, try co nnect ing the scanne r directly to th e compu ter’s USB port.
Also, your system may not work properly if you use a USB cable other than that supplied
by EPSON.
Connecting the Scanner to Your Computer

2. Connect the other end of the cable (Type A) to the USB port on your computer, or
USB hub.
Note:
❏USB cables enable you to connect the scanner whether your computer is on or
off. If you connect the scanner while your computer is on, the “Add New
Hardware Wizard” dialog box (Windows) or a message t elling you that the
scanner driver needs to be installed (Macintosh) will appear. When this
happens, follow the instructions in Chapter 3 in the online Setup Guide, then
install the software.
❏Connect the USB cable to your computer, then install or start the scanner
software. Do not connect or disconnect the USB cab le while the scanner
software is open.
