Connecting the Interface Card (For PC only)
1.
Turn your computer’s power off and remove the computer’s housing cover. (Usually this will require
you to remove some screws from the back of your computer with a Phillips head screwdriver.)
2.
Locate an available 16 bit ISA expansion slot. Remove the slot cover of that 16 bit slot so that you can
put in the included SCSI card.
3.
Insert the SCSI card by pressing it gently but firmly into the slot. Make sure it is firmly seated into the
slot. (Remember to secure the SCSI card by using the screw from the slot cover.)
4.
Replace the computer’s housing.
• The SCSI card that is supplied by UMAX is a proprietary card and will only support the
UMAX scanner. However, UMAX scanners are ADAPTEC compliant so they are
ADAPTEC compatible.

3.
Connect the SCSI cable to the SCSI interface card you installed.
Connect the other end of the SCSI cable to the scanner. It is OK to connect the cable to either SCSI
port on the scanner.
If your scanner is not chained to other SCSI devices, please connect the Terminator to the remaining
SCSI port of your scanner.
For Macintosh
You need to check to see which SCSI ID’s are already being used by other devices that are hooked up to
your computer. UMAX scanners are preset at SCSI ID 55. If no other device is using this address you can
proceed to install the scanner. If another device is already using this address you must change the SCSI ID
number on the scanner. To change the SCSI ID number (located at the back of the unit),
1.
Make sure the scanner is turned off.
2.
UMAX scanners are preset to SCSI ID #5. If you already have a SCSI device pre-set to SCSI ID #5,
see page 14 to change the ID number of your scanner. The section is titled, “Changing the SCSI ID
number”.
3.
Connect the SCSI cable to your scanner then connect the other end of the cable to your Mac’s SCSI
port.
4.
If your scanner is not chained to other devices, please connect the Terminator to the remaining SCSI
port of your scanner.

Important! Unlock your scanner first
Look at the rear of the scanner. You should see a switch that has an unlock and lock symbol. Your scanner
is locked to prevent damage during shipment so the optics must be freed before scanning. Flip the switch
from the Locked position to the Unlocked position. See the illustration below.
4.
Connect the Power
Plug in the Power Adapter power cord and follow the installation instructions below:
Simply insert the round end of the power cable into the back of the scanner and plug the other end of the
cable into an available electrical outlet. See the illustration below.
