GETTING STARTED

Return the metal base plate to its
original position then tighten the
lock nut.

Before continuing, determine what communication interface is needed
then follow the installation procedure for that interface on pages 5-11.

It is important to use the correct communication jack on the back of
the scanner (see pages 5-10 for cable the proper connections).
Incorrect cable connections can cause communication problems or
potential damage to the scanner

Return the foam insert to its
original position then slide
the horizontal stand back
into place on the scanner.

After the communi cation cable has been connected properly, slide the
cable cover down then secure in place with the three M3x .5 x 6 mm pan
head screws provided.
