The SprintScan 4000 requires a SCSI host adapter in your computer. If your computer does not have an adapter, you must install
one (see page 14). If your computer is a PC-compatible with a
SCSI adapter, but the adapter is connected to a hard drive or CDROM drive, installing a second adapter is recommended.
Set the scanner SCSI address:
Each device connected to a SCSI host adapter must have a unique
address from 0-6. To assure a unique address for the scanner,
determine the addresses of any other SCSI devices.

You may need additional cables or adapters to connect the scanner.
Your cable must have a 50-pin Centronics M or DB-25 M connector at one end for attachment to the scanner, and the cable should

Installing a SCSI Host Adapter
Limited Warranty
The SprintScan 4000 connects to a SCSI host adapter in your
computer. Most Macintosh computers have a SCSI adapter built
in, but most IBM PC compatible computers do not.
If you must install a SCSI adapter, turn the computer off and follow instructions provided by the adapter manufacturer. (The procedure usually includes software installation. If your PC uses the
Windows NT operating system, log in as an administrator before
installation.)
A SCSI host adapter may be provided as an option with
Note:
the Windows version of the scanner. If necessary, obtain an
adapter from your computer dealer. (Adapters are not available
for iMac computers.)
Polaroid Corporation warrants the SprintScan 4000 scanner
against defects in manufacture or workmanship for a period of
one year from the date of purchase. To verify the warranty period,
you should keep the invoice, sales receipt, or other proof of the
purchase date.
Should this product or any component or accessory included
with it, with the exception of software, prove to be defective at any
time during the warranty period, Polaroid Corporation will, at its
discretion, either replace or repair this item, without charge.
This warranty does not cover damage caused by accident, incorrect installation, unauthorized modification, and misuse or
abuse. A charge will be made for repair of such damage.
This warranty excludes all consequential damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of consequential damages, so the foregoing exclusion may not apply to you.
