Installing a SCSI Interface Board (Windows Only)
For GT-7000 or GT-7000 PHOTO model Users only.
Unless your PC already has a SCSI board installed, you need to
install a SCSI board and SCSI software before installing the
scanner driver and software applications.
If you have a Macintosh that has a SCSI interface or if you already
have a SCSI board installed in your PC, go to the next section.
Note:
For additional information, see the installation guide that comes with
your SCSI board.
1. Turn off the computer and any peripheral devices. Unplug
any power cords, then disconnect all cables from the back
panel of your computer.
2. Remove the cover from your computer.
Caution:
w
Static electricity can damage electronic components.
Discharge static electricity by touching the metal frame of
your computer before handling the interface board or any of
the computer’s circuit boards.

3. Insert the interface board into an appropriate expansion slot,
then secure it with the retaining screw.
4. Replace the computer cover and reconnect all cables.

Releasing the Transportation Lock
Before connecting the scanner to a power source, you must releas e
the transportation lock.
1. Place the scanner on a flat, stable surface with the back facing
you.
2. Turn the transportation lock on the right side to the unlocked
position using a coin or similar object, as shown below.
Note:
❏ When you cannot turn the transportation lock because of excessive
resistance, turn the scanner on, then, after the operate light starts
flashing red, turn the scanner off, and try again. See the next section
to turn on the scanner.
❏ Return the transportation lock to the locked position when
transporting the scanner.

Caution:
Whenever you turn off the scanner, wait at least 10 seconds before

Setting Up the Scanner
Connecting the Scanner (SCSI) to Your Computer
For instructions on connecting your SCSI model scanner to your
computer, read this section.
For PC users:
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. Also see “Installing
a SCSI Interface Board” on page 1-7.
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, or NT (see your system documentation for
instructions), or the driver described in the SCSI board installation
documentation.
For Macintosh users:
Conventional Macintosh computers have built-in SCSI ports;
therefore you do not need to install a SCSI board on a Macintosh.
Follow the directions below to connect your scanner and
computer.

Setting Up the Scanner
1-11
Understanding SCSI connections
Read the following sections to determine how to set up your SCSI
devices and whether you need any optional SCSI cables.
Daisy Chain
The SCSI interface allows you to connect up to seven devices (such
as a scanner, hard disk, CD-ROM, and so on) to 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 another SCSI device.
SCSI Cables
You may need to purchase SCSI cables before setting up your SCSI
daisy chain. Be sure the SCSI cable connectors are suitable for your
hardware, depending on 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
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.
