Setting Up Your Scanner

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® with built-in USB support or your computer is running Windows Me (Windows Millennium), Windows 2000, or Windows 98 (factory installed), you can connect the Expression 1680 with the USB cable that came with the scanner. Windows Me, Windows 2000, or Windows 98 must be preinstalled on your computer; upgrades from previous versions are not supported. There is no USB support for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0.

SCSI

■

If you have a Power Macintosh with built-in SCSI support or a compatible PCI SCSI/SCSI 2 adapter board, 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 9.8 feet long. 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 1680, or you’ve purchased the optional IEEE 1394 FireWire scanner interface card, you can connect the scanner to your Power Macintosh or PC with the IEEE 1394 FireWire cable. 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. Your PC must have an OHCI compliant IEEE 1394 port or card, and must be running a pre-installed version of Windows 2000 or Windows Me.

Adaptec Power Domain® Macintosh are designed for hard drives only and are not compatible with scanners.

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.

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 1680 is scanning.

Windows Me, Windows 2000 or Windows 98 must be preinstalled on your computer, not upgraded. 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 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.

If your scanner and computer are both powered on, you see the Add New Hardware Wizard if you’re running Windows 98 (Found New Hardware wizard in Windows Me or Windows 2000) or a message that your scanner driver needs to be installed if you have a Macintosh. Continue with the instructions in “Installing the Windows Software” on page 22 or “Installing the Macintosh Software” on page 47.

18

Setting Up Your Scanner

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 2940UW and 2940U2W SCSI boards for the Macintosh are designed for hard drives and are not compatible with scanners.

If you purchased a SCSI 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.

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

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 are connecting the scanner directly to your computer, use a cable no more than 9.8 feet (3 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.

If you’ve connected your scanner in the middle of a SCSI chain, turn the terminator switch

Setting Up Your Scanner

Connecting to an IEEE 1394 FireWire Interface

If you have the Professional FireWire model of the Expression 1680, or if you have purchased the optional IEEE 1394 FireWire scanner interface card, you can connect the scanner to your Power Macintosh or PC using an IEEE 1394 FireWire interface. 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. Your PC must have an OHCI compliant IEEE 1394 port or card, and must be running a pre-installed version of Windows 2000 or Windows Me.

See “IEEE 1394 FireWire Scanner Interface Card” on page 108 for information about system requirements and instructions on installing the card. See page 95 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. 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.

If you are using Windows, see the next page. Otherwise, continue with “Installing the Macintosh Software” on page 47.
