Page 24: Choosing A Place For The Scanner
Choosing a Place for the Scanner Follow the guidelines below when selecting a location for your scanner: Place the scanner on a flat, stable surface. The scanner will not operate properly if it is tilted at an angle. Place the scanner close enough to the computer for the interface cable to reach it easily.
Page 25: Releasing The Transportation Lock
Keep the scanner away from high temperatures, humidity and excessive dirt or dust. Also avoid using or storing the scanner in places subject to rapid changes of temperature and humidity. Keep the scanner away from direct sunlight and strong light sources.
Page 26: Plugging In The Scanner
Plugging in the Scanner 1. Make sure that the scanner is turned off. The scanner is off when the OPERATE button is raised. 2. If the power cord is not attached to the scanner, connect it to the AC inlet on the back of the scanner, and plug the other end into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
Page 27: Initialization
Initialization By observing the scanner's initialization, you can make sure that the scanner is operating properly before you connect it to your computer. 1. Open the document cover so you can see the operation of the scanner during initialization. 2. Turn on the scanner by pressing the OPERATE button.
Page 28: Connecting The Scanner To Your Computer Using
Connecting the Scanner to Your Computer using the SCSI Interface For instructions on connecting the scanner to your computer using the SCSI interface, read this section. Note for Macintosh Users: Be sure to install the scanner software before connecting the scanner to your computer.
Page 29: The Scsi Interface
Understanding SCSI connections Read the following sections to determine how to set up your SCSI devices and whether you need any optional SCSI cables. Daisy Chain The SCSI interface allows you to connect up to seven devices (such as a scanner, hard disk, CD-ROM, and so on) to the computer, in what is called a “daisy chain”...
Page 30: Setting The Scsi Id Number
Setting the SCSI ID number The scanner's default SCSI ID number is 2. The SCSI ID rotary switch is located at the back of the scanner. If you add the scanner to a system in which one of your SCSI devices already has a SCSI ID of 2, change the ID number to an unused number using the rotary switch.
Page 31: Setting The Terminator Switch
Caution: Do not set the SCSI ID to an ID number that is already assigned to another device otherwise the computer, scanner, and other devices will not operate properly. Setting the terminator switch The scanner has a built-in terminator, which allows SCSI devices to communicate properly with each other.

Page 33 2. Connect one end of the interface cable to one of the scanner SCSI connectors until the locks on both sides snap in. Note: To connect the scanner to a PC or any other SCSI device, the total length of cable in the daisy chain must not exceed 3 meters; otherwise the system may not work properly.
Page 34: Power-On Sequence
Power-on sequence Keep the following in mind every time you turn on your computer and SCSI devices, including the scanner. Be sure to turn on the SCSI device which is connected at the farthest end of the daisy chain first, then the second farthest and so on, until finally your computer.
Page 35: Power-Off Sequence
Power-off sequence Keep the following in mind every time you turn off your computer and SCSI devices. When you are finished using your system, turn off your computer first, then the scanner and other SCSI devices in reverse order of the power-on sequence. While using your computer, do not turn off any SCSI device which has a terminator that is active (on).
