As with any highly sensitive optical equipment, vibrations or bumping the scanner during use may result in
picture defects. Locate the unit where it will not be disturbed during use.

4 Connect the Scanner to
the Computer
The SprintScan 45 Ultra requires a SCSI host adapter in your
computer. If your computer does not have an adapter, you must
install one (see page 17). If your computer is a PC-compatible
with a SCSI adapter, but the adapter is connected to a hard drive
or CD-ROM 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.
Power Mac or PowerPC Windows 95, 98 or NT

Volumes to view the SCSI
device addresses.
Make sure the scanner is turned off and set the address switch
(b on page 7) to a value not used by any other device.
Note:
The address is preset to 4. Do not change it unless another
device is using 4. Other addresses typically available are 2,
5, and 6.
Look at the address switch
on each SCSI device
connected to your system. If
necessary, see the
instructions provided with
the devices.
