SCANNER SETUP

Connecting the SCSI cable

The scanner is supplied with an ultra SCSI D-sub half-pitch 50-pin cable. Contact your dealer if a

different cable is required.

The computer and all peripheral devices must be off

before connecting the scanner.

The terminator dip switch on the back of the

scanner eliminates the need for an external ter-

minator. If the scanner is to be the only SCSI

device connected to the computer or it is the last

device in a daisy chain, switch number 1 should

be in the on position; terminating the SCSI chain

helps to suppress noise, not terminating a chain

can cause slowdowns, data errors, and crashes.

If the scanner is to be connected somewhere

within a daisy chain, switch 1 should be in the

off position. The initial setting for all the switches

is on. Dip switch 4 must be in the on position to

use a SCSI interface.

Connect the scanner to the computer or SCSI

chain with the cable. Either SCSI port can be

used for the connection.

Plug the power cord into the back of the unit.

The other end of the power cord should be

plugged into a grounded outlet.

Set the SCSI ID for the scanner by pressing the buttons above and

below the ID number window. Devices in the same chain must have

unique ID numbers. Depending on the computer system, some SCSI

IDs may already be assigned:

IBM PC/AT 7 - SCSI host adapter

Macintosh 0 - internal hard drive

3 - internal CD-ROM drive

7 - operating system

IDE Macintosh systems do not use SCSI ID 0 for the hard drive. SCSI

ID 3 is available on the external bus on Macintosh systems with a

dual bus.
