29 Chapter 2 — Installing the scanner
Installation for the PC
This section shows you how to set up your Horizon Ultra scanner with
your PC. You can find information on which SCSI adapter card to use
and instructions for connecting the scanner to your PC.
Which SCSI adapter card
The Horizon Ultra scanner requires a SCSI adapter card to work with
your PC or compatible computer. If your PC does not have such a
card, contact your dealer or Agfa service representative.
The scanner software supplied with the Horizon Ultra scanner supports
in principle any ASPI-compatible SCSI adapter card. Technical support
however, gives assistance only for the Adaptec line of cards, of which
we particularly recommend the AHA 1540 or 1542 for ISA PC’s, the
1742 or 2742 for EISA PC’s, and the 2942 for PCI PC's.
Important: Please check the following documentation:
■ ■ The Read Me file on the PC scanner driver software disk for
up-to-date information.
■ ■ The documentation supplied with your adapter card. This will
tell you how to install the card.
■ ■ If you are using third party software, check the
documentation supplied with that software for the SCSI
adapter cards supported.
Connecting the scanner
Before you connect the scanner to your PC, make sure that your
scanner as well as your PC and everything connected to it are
switched off.
1. Set the scanner to an unused SCSI ID number between 1 and 6
by turning the switch at the rear of the scanner.
For more information, see ‘Changing the SCSI ID number’ earlier
in this chapter.
2. Connect one end of the SCSI cable to the SCSI port at the rear
of your PC.
Use the cable supplied with the scanner.
3. Connect the other side of the cable to the scanner.
