About Scanner Connectors
USB Connectors
Many newer computers, both PC and Macintosh, rely on USB
technology as the primary method of communication between the
computer and its peripherals. With this new USB “plug-and-play”
technology your computer automatically configures peripherals.
If your computer has a USB port, you must make sure that this port
is enabled in the system BIOS. Please refer to the troubleshooting
section to learn more about enabling the USB port.
Checking Your Computer’s Connectors
To use your scanner you need to understand what type of
connectors you have on your computer. To determine the connector
type, look at the back panel of your computer:
•
A USB port is a small slot ½” long and ¼” wide.
NOTE:
If your computer has a USB port, check to make sure that
your computer's operating system supports USB. The following
factory-installed operating systems support USB: Microsoft
Windows 95 OSR2, 98 or higher, and Mac OS 8.1.
Setting Up – General Information
•
Find a suitable location near your computer to place the
scanner.

scanner on an uneven surface can damage the internal
components.
