1. Introduction
Features
This section describes the features of this scanner.
Ultra-fast scanning
When scanning A4K (8½” × 11”K), monochrome at 200dpi, this scanner can scan 55 (57)
pages/minute. When scanning A4K (8½” × 11”K), monochrome at 400dpi, this scanner can
scan 31 (32) pages/minute. During double-sided scanning, when scanning A4K (8½” × 11”K),
monochrome at 200dpi, this scanner can scan 81 (84) pages/minute.
* When using the Auto Document Feeder (ADF) in binary scanning, these speeds apply to
the second and subsequent sheets.
Simultaneous scanning of both sides of a document (Duplex Model only)
If a document consists of individual, separate sheets, both sides of each sheet can be scanned
simultaneously. This capability eliminates the bother of having to flip document sheets over.
Direct operation using the buttons on the scanner (Manual Scanning function)
If using a driver that supports the Manual Scanning function, scanning can be initiated by
pressing the {Start} button on the scanner . This function is useful when scanning a document
that needs to be set in place for each scan.
Large 150-sheet paper capacity
Up to 150 sheets* can be placed in the scanner’s Auto Document Feeder (ADF).
* A4 (64g/m2) or 8½” × 11” (20lb)
Printing on scanned documents (optional)
The Endorser Unit Type A is provided as an optional mechanism that prints a symbol or the
number of documents that have been scanned by the Auto Document Feeder (ADF). This
capability is useful for referencing scanned data or confirming that a document has been scanned.

2. Setting up the Scanner
Connecting to the Host Computer
This scanner connects to a host personal
computer through a SCSI interface. This
section provides an overview of SCSI, and
explains how to connect the scanner to a host
computer.
What is SCSI?
“SCSI” (Small Computer System Interface)
is an interface standard that is used for highspeed data transfer between a peripheral device
and a host computer.
• In a SCSI connection, ANSI-compliant
SCSI cables are used to connect one or
more peripheral devices in daisy chain
fashion to the host computer.
• Each device is assigned a unique SCSI
ID (0 to 7), which must be set for the
device before turning on the power and
before turning on the computer.
• The last device in the daisy chain requires
a terminator.
1: SCSI cables
2: Up to 7 devices
3: Terminator
Important
❒ If two or more devices in a daisy chain
share the same SCSI ID, misoperation
and data loss may result. Set a unique
SCSI ID for this scanner that does not
duplicate the SCSI ID of any other device.
SCSI Connection Requirements for the Scanner
• This scanner complies with the SCSI-2
standard. SCSI-1-compliant peripheral
devices can also be connected and used
with this scanner. T he SCSI interface on
the scanner has a 50-pin half-pitch (pin
type) connector. Connect an ANSIcompliant shielded SCSI-2 cable to the
scanner. Note that some combinations of
cables and SCSI boards will not work
together properly, so check this carefully .
• If you are using a SCSI board and driver
software that supports SCAM, the SCSI
ID of this scanner will be set automatically, so there is no need to set the ID. If
you are using a driver that does not have
a SCAM function, it will be necessary to
set the SCSI ID for the scanner if the
SCSI ID is identical to that of another
device that is connected.
• The scanner’s terminator can be enabled
or disabled by turning a DIP switch on or
off.
10
Connecting to the Host Computer
Important
❒ The total length of the SCSI cables, in-
cluding the length of the cable inside
the personal computer, should be no
more than 3m (9.8 ft.) when using synchronous transfer, and no more than 6m
(19.7 ft.) when using asynchronous
transfer.
❒ Some combinations of SCSI boards and
peripheral devices that are connected
simultaneously may not work together
properly.
Setting the SCSI ID
T urn the r otary switch to set the SCSI
A
ID number.
Connecting the SCSI Cable (No Connection to Other Port)
Turn off the host computer and all
A
peripheral devices that will be connected through the SCSI interface.
Use SCSI cables to connect the per-
BB
B
BB
sonal computer and the peripheral devices in daisy chain fashion, with this
scanner at the end of the daisy chain.
(Use either of the two SCSI connectors on the scanner.)
Set DIP switch 3 to off.
