computers and PCs is located on the back panel of the computer, or on a

Connecting the SCSI Cable
If your Macintosh computer has a SCSI port, follow these instructions to
connect the scanner to your computer.
Note
: If you do not already have your SCSI interface card installed in your
computer, install it now. Refer to the installation instructions that came with
the SCSI card.
1.
Turn off the computer and the scanner.
2.
Connect the SCSI cable to the SCSI port on the computer.
3.
Attach the other end of the SCSI cable into the first SCSI connector on
the backside of the scanner (closest to the left side).
Note:
If your scanner is not chained to other SCSI devices, connect the
Terminator to the remaining SCSI port of your scanner.
Changing the SCSI Address
Changing the scanner’s SCSI address is necessary if more than one peripheral
is connected to the SCSI port and two or more of the peripherals have the
same address or ID number.
To change the scanner’s SCSI address:
1.
Check the other peripherals for their SCSI address or ID number. Your
Astra MX3 SCSI address is preset to 5. If no other peripherals use 5 as a
SCSI address or ID number, you are done. If another peripheral’s address
is 5, proceed to the next steps.
2.
Unplug the scanner from its power source.
3.
Gently turn the dial located at the back of the scanner, on the right-hand
side, until an unused number appears.
