work together to directly control all of the features of your EPSON
scanner in a networked environment. Through the use of these
software packages, you can share one or more scanners among
the users in a network and allow scanned images to be imported
into any TWAIN-compliant application.
EPSON Scan Server software is installed on a PC which is
connected to an EPSON scanner (hereafter, the PC is called the
scanner server PC), and makes the EPSON scanner shareable in
the network. The scanner can be accessed from all client PCs
which have EPSON TWAIN HS Network software installed.

Caution:
Whenever you turn off the scanner, wait at least 10 seconds before
turning it back on. Rapidly turning the scanner on and off can
damage the scanner.
Setting up the Scanner
Connecting the Scanner to Your PC using the SCSI Interface
For instructions on connecting the scanner to your PC using the
SCSI interface, read this section.
Unless your PC already has a SCSI board installed, you need to
install one, along with SCSI driver software. Install the SCSI board
according to the directions included with it.
If your PC has a SCSI board up and running, connect the scanner
as described in the next section.
Note:
❏ You will need to install the SCSI driver that is normally included
with Windows 95, 98, Millennium Edition, NT (see your system
documentation for instructions), or 2000, or the driver described in
the SCSI board installation documentation.
❏ If you are having errors or poor performance, an updated driver may
help. The latest driver may be available for download from the Web
site of the SCSI board manufacturer.

Understanding SCSI connections
Read the following sections to determine how to set up your SCSI
devices and whether you need any optional SCSI cables.
Setting up the Scanner
2-11
Daisy Chain
The SCSI interface allows you to connect up to seven devices (such
as a scanner, hard drive, CD-ROM, and so on) to the computer, in
w ha t i s ca l le d a “ d a is y ch ai n ” a r ra ng em e nt . O nl y th e f i rs t SC S I d e v ic e
in a daisy chain is connected to the computer; each of the other
devices is connected to another SCSI device.
Note:
To work with a scanner in wide SCSI, the scanner must be connected to
the wide SCSI Host Adapter via a 68-pin SCSI cable. If narrow SCSI
devices exist between the SCSI host adapter and the scanner, the scanner
works only in the narrow SCSI mode. In this case, you need to set the
select switch to N (narrow).
SCSI Cables
You may need to purchase SCSI cables before setting up your SCSI
daisy chain. The scanner has two SCSI connectors: one is for a
wide 68-pin SCSI cable and the other for a narrow 50-pin SCSI
cable. Be sure the SCSI cable connectors are suitable for your
hardware, according to the maker of your SCSI device and SCSI
interface board.
SCSI ID and terminator
Each device has a SCSI ID number: the computer is usually set to
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 or removed.
2-12
Setting up the Scanner
Setting the SCSI ID number
The scanner's default SCSI ID number is 2.
The SCSI ID rotary switch
is located at the rear 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 number using the rotary switch. See the table below as a
guide.
