Chapter 2 — Installing the scanner
26
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.
A terminator and a SCSI cable are supplied with your scanner.
Caution:
For safety reasons, never use extension cables for power cables.
Always make sure there are no more than two terminators in your SCSI chain, one at the beginning and one at
the end. Some SCSI devices have built-in terminators and must therefore be placed at the beginning or end of
your SCSI chain. Please check the documentation of each of your SCSI devices if you are not sure whether
the device has a built-in terminator. Your StudioStar has no built-in terminator.
Never try to connect the scanner to the serial or parallel port of your PC: you might seriously damage your
equipment if you do.
■
If your PC has a high density SCSI connector, you might need to buy a special cable from your
dealer.
■
If your PC has a 25-pin connector, follow the instructions of
Macintosh: Connecting the scanner”
■
If your PC has a 50-pin connector and your StudioStar is the only SCSI device to be connected
to your PC:
1.
Set the scanner to an unused SCSI ID number between 1 and 6.
2.
Connect the larger 50-pin end of the SCSI cable to the connector at the rear of your PC.
Use the SCSI cable supplied with the scanner.
3.
Place the terminator at the 50-pin connector of the scanner and snap the diamond shaped wire
clips into the clip brackets to secure the connection.
4.
Connect the smaller 25-pin end of the SCSI cable to the free connector of the scanner.
