Preparation Before Use
Connecting to a Computer
Connect the scanner to the computer.
Before you connect the scanner to the computer, be sure to turn both the scanner and
the computer OFF.
CAUTION
The following items are also needed when you connect the scanner:
SCSI card
HINT
Check that the SCSI card is installed on your computer.
Use a SCSI card that is compatible with the driver application you are using.
SCSI cable
The scanner's SCSI connector is a D-sub half-pitch 50-pin (pin type) connector.
Check the shape of the connector on your computer's SCSI card and on the SCSI
device connected to your computer, and prepare a SCSI cable that is compatible with
the connector that can be connected to the scanner.
Follow the procedure below to connect the scanner to the computer.
1. Connect the scanner to the computer by the SCSI cable. (P.24)
2. Set the SCSI ID and terminator. (P.25)
Connecting the SCSI cable
Before you connect the SCSI cable, make sure that the scanner and the computer are
turned OFF.
CAUTION
Connect your computer to the scanner using the SCSI cable.
Two SCSI connectors are located on the rear of the scanner. Insert the SCSI
cable from the computer into one of these connectors.
To connect another SCSI device to the computer, insert the other SCSI cable into
the vacant SCSI connector on the rear of the scanner, and connect the other end
of the SCSI cable into the SCSI device in a daisy chain.
