You will need to set an SCSI identification (ID) number for the scanner. Each SCSI device connected to your computer must have a different SCSI ID number. Your Macintosh uses number 7, the internal hard disk uses number 0, and the internal CD-ROM uses number 3. These number cannot be used. Also, determine the SCSI ID number of any other SCSI device attached to your computer and avoid setting these numbers as well. Please note that the Macintosh has an SCSI ID number range of 0 to 7; therefore, if you set the scanner ID switch to 8 or 9, the computer will recognize it as 6.

1. Turn off the QuickScan 35. You cannot change the SCSI ID number while the power is on.

2. Select a number which is not used by any other SCSI device connected to your Macintosh computer, for example a hard disk.

3. Turn the SCSI ID switch located on the rear of the scanner to the appropriate ID number.

GETTING STARTED

･ If you are using the PowerBook or PowerBook Duo series computer, set TERM.PWR switch to ON.
