Setting Up Your Scanner
19
Connecting to a SCSI Interface
Before you connect the scanner, you must have an ASPI-compliant SCSI 2
interface board installed in your computer (Adaptec SCSI 2 interface boards are
recommended). Some computers come with a SCSI 2 board preinstalled; check your
computer documentation.
Adaptec Power Domain 2940UW and 2940U2W SCSI boards for the
Macintosh are designed for hard drives and are not compatible with
scanners.
If you purchased a SCSI board as an option, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to
install both the board and its driver.
You may also need to change the
scanner’s SCSI ID setting before you
connect it to your computer. If you have
another SCSI device that uses SCSI ID 2,
turn the scanner off and turn the SCSI
ID switch on the back of the scanner to a
new number.
Choose a number that doesn’t conflict with the ID number of other SCSI
devices. Don’t use SCSI ID 0, 1, or 7. If your Macintosh has a built-in
CD-ROM, don’t use SCSI ID 3.
Follow these steps to connect the scanner to a SCSI interface:
1. Make sure the scanner and computer are turned off. (The scanner is off when the
P
Operate button is out and the
ERROR
and
READY
lights are off.)
Do not connect the scanner to the computer while it is turned on, or the
scanner could be damaged.
