3.6 Connection through the FireWire Interface
To connect through FireWire, you will need the FireWire cable that came with your scanner.
Your computer must be enabled for FireWire through a FireWire card and port.
Check your computer for FireWire
Many computers come with FireWire inputs. Follow these steps to check if FireWire is enabled
on your computer:
1. In Windows, Click Start, Settings, and then Control Panel.
2. Double-click the System icon.
3. Click the Device Manager tab.
If a FireWire host controller (IEEE) is listed, then FireWire is enabled on your computer. If you
do not see this device listed, you will need to install a FireWire card.
To install a FireWire card, shutdown your computer and install the card into an empty PCI slot.
See your computer’s user’s manual for installation of new hardware and the driver installation
information that came with your FireWire card.
Connect scanner to PC with Firewire cable
1.
Make sure you have installed WIDEsystem
on your PC before you connect the
scanner. Your scanner drivers are automatically installed with WIDEsystem and your
PC will then be fully prepared to detect and setup the newly connected scanner device.
2. Shut down (power off) your PC. Do not connect the scanner power cable or turn on the
scanner.
3. Locate the FireWire cable that came with your scanner.
4. Connect the PC end to the FireWire port on your computer
5. Connect the peripheral end to a FireWire connection socket on your scanner.
6. Connect the power cable to your scanner and turn the scanner on.
7. Turn on the PC. The OS will detect and setup the newly connected scanner device.
8. If
an
”Unknown device is found”
message appears after you plug in the cable, follow the
steps described below under
Unknown device is found message.
Note:
The extra FireWire connector is for daisy-chaining another device to your system and not
for interfacing with another PC.
“Unknown device is found” message
If your system has problems detecting the scanner, make sure your FireWire port is enabled
(see above). Make sure you have installed the WIDEsystem software from the CD that came
with your scanner or a newer WIDEsystem version. Make sure you have installed WIDEsystem
before
connecting the scanner. You should never attempt to step through device installation
dialogs before installing WIDEsystem. If you have done so, see the trouble shooting section for
instructions on reinstalling.
If your system still does not detect the device, disconnect the FireWire cable, unplug the power
to your scanner and turn off the computer. Wait a few minutes, reconnect the scanner, restart
the PC and turn on the scanner.
