Installing a SCSI Interface Board (Windows 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 applica ti ons.
If you have a Macintosh or if you already have a SCSI board
installed in your PC, go to the next section.
Note:
For additional informat ion, see the installation guid e that comes with
your SC S I bo ar d .
1. Turn off the computer and any peripheral devices. Unplug
any powe r cords, then disc onnect all cables from the back
panel of your c omputer.
2. Remove the cover from your computer.
Caution:
Static electricity can damage electronic components.
w
Discharge static electricit y by touching the metal fram e of
your computer before handling the interface board or any of
the computer’s circuit boards.
3. Insert the i nte rfac e boar d in t o an approp riate ex pansi on sl ot,

Connecting the Scanner to Your Computer
For PC users:
Unless your PC already has a SCSI board installed, you need to
install one, along with SCSI driver softwar e. Install the SCSI board
according to the directions included with it. Also see “Installi ng
a SCSI Interface Boad” on page 1-6.
If your PC has a SCSI board up and ru nning, connect t he 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 yo ur sy stem d ocumentation for
instructions), or the dr iv er d escri bed in the SCSI board installation
documentation.
For Macintosh u ser s:
Conventional M acintosh c omputers have buil t-in SCSI ports;
therefore you do not need to in stall a SCSI boar d on a Macintosh .
Follow the direction s below to connect your scanner and
computer.

Setting Up the Scanner
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” arr angement. Only the first SCSI devi ce i n
a daisy chain is connected to the c omputer; eac h of the o ther devi ces
is connected to another SCSI device.
SCSI Cables
You ma y need to purchase SCSI c ables 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 devic e and SCSI
interface board.
1
SCSI ID and t ermi nator
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.
