Place the scanner on a flat, stable surface, free of vibration. Leave at least 2 inches (50mm) of space around all sides and the top of the scanner for adequate ventilation, and leave room at the back to reach the power switch on the rear panel.
Caution: 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.

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.

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.

Connect the SCSI Cables
Place the scanner at the end of the SCSI chain or between the computer and other SCSI devices as shown in the following diagrams. Use the shortest possible cables.
Note: Turn the computer, scanner and all other SCSI devices off before connecting or disconnecting any cables. Do not connect the scanner to the parallel connector on your computer. Doing so could damage the scanner or computer.
