Connecting the Parallel Interface Model

Compatible operating systems

You can connect the EPSON FilmScan 200 (parallel interface model) to a PC running the Windows 95 or 3.1 operating system.

Note:

EPSON FilmScan 200 (parallel interface model) is incompatible with Windows NT and Macintosh.

Installing the parallel interface board

EPSON FilmScan 200 (parallel interface model) requires a bidirectional interface in your computer and a standard shielded, twisted-pair parallel interface cable.

Check your computer’s specifications to see if its built-in parallel interface is bidirectional or not. If it is not bidirectional or if your computer does not have an available bidirectional parallel interface, install the interface board packed with your scanner. You also may need to change jumper settings on the board so the settings do not conflict with your computer’s built-in parallel interface. To install the bidirectional interface board, see the user’s guide that came with the interface board.

2-2

Note:

Use of the EPSON Bidirectional Parallel Interface Board

❑

(B80818✽) packed with your scanner is recommended.

Remember the I/O address of the parallel interface board. You

❑

will need it when you install the scanner software later.

Connecting EPSON FilmScan 200 to Yo ur Comp uter

Connecting the scanner to your PC

Follow the steps below to connect the EPSON FilmScan 200 (parallel interface model) to your PC.

Note:

Use a standard shielded, twisted-pair parallel interface cable.

1. Make sure that both the scanner and computer are turned off and unplugged from any power source.

Caution:

Do not connect the scanner and computer while they are

turned on; otherwise damage may occur.

2. Connect the 25-pin end of the cable to the computer. Then tighten the screws on the sides of the connector. Connect the ground wire if your interface cable has one.

2-3

3. Plug the 36-pin end of the cable into the scanner’s interface connector. Then squeeze the wire clips together until they lock in place on both sides.

See Chapter 3 for instructions on installing the scanner software. You must install the scanner software before using your scanner.

Connecting the SCSI Interface Model

Compatible operating systems

You can connect the EPSON FilmScan 200 (SCSI interface model) to a Macintosh or a PC running Windows 95, 3.1, or NT.

If your PC does not have a SCSI board installed, you need to install one according to the directions that come with the SCSI board. If your PC already has a SCSI board, connect the scanner as described in the next section.

2-4

Connecting EPSON FilmScan 200 to Yo ur Comp uter

Note:

If you use Windows 95 or NT, use the SCSI driver included in Windows 95 or NT (see your system documentation for instructions) or the driver described in the SCSI board installation documentation. If you use Windows 3.1, use the driver packed with the SCSI board as described in the SCSI board installation documentation.

All Macintosh computers have SCSI ports; you do not need to install a SCSI board in a Macintosh. Follow the directions below to set up and connect your scanner and computer.

SCSI connections

The SCSI interface allows you to connect up to eight devices, including the computer, in what is called a “daisy chain” arrangement. Only the first SCSI device in a daisy chain is connected to the computer; each of the other devices is connected to the previous device.

computer scanner other SCSI device

Note:

Before purchasing a SCSI cable or setting up your SCSI daisy chain, be sure your SCSI cable(s) has the right combination of 50-pin and 25-pin connectors. The combination you need may vary depending on the maker of your SCSI device and SCSI interface board.

other SCSI device

Connecting EPSON FilmScan 200 to Your Computer

2-5

Each device has a SCSI ID number: the computer is usually number 7, and each of the other devices must have a different number between 0 and 6. Also, the first device and the last device in the chain (not including the computer) must have a terminator. No other device can have a terminator or if a terminator does exist, it must be turned off. The scanner has a 25-pin and a 50-pin SCSI connector and a built-in terminator that can be turned on or off.

Setting the SCSI ID number

The scanner’s default SCSI ID number is 2. The computer is usually ID number 7. If you are going to add the scanner to a system in which one of your SCSI devices already has a SCSI ID of 2, change the ID number of the scanner to an unused number using the table below as a guide.

ID Availability Description

If you need to change the SCSI ID, locate the SCSI ID rotary dial on the rear of the scanner. Then turn the dial number to the desired number.

Connecting EPSON FilmScan 200 to Yo ur Comp uter

Caution:

Setting the termin a tor switc h

The scanner has a built-in terminator, which allows SCSI devices to communicate properly with each other. You may need to change the terminator switch setting according to your computer system.

Do not set the SCSI ID to an ID number that is already assigned to another device; otherwise the computer, scanner, and other devices will not function properly.

Note:

Do not use an external terminator.

The factory setting of the terminator switch is on. If the scanner is in the middle of a daisy chain as shown below, turn the terminator switch off.

Follow the steps below to connect the EPSON FilmScan 200 (SCSI interface model) to your computer or another device.

Note:

The combination of 50-pin and 25-pin connectors you need may vary depending on the maker of your SCSI device and SCSI interface board.

1. Make sure that the scanner, the computer, and all other SCSI devices are turned off and unplugged from any power source.

Caution:

Do not connect the scanner to the computer or other

devices while they are turned on; otherwise damage may occur.

2. Connect one end of the SCSI cable to the scanner’s SCSI connector; then squeeze the wire clips together until they lock in place, or tighten the screws on the sides of the connector.
