Reset the Address of the Scanner
If SCSI address #5 is in the list of SCSI addresses in use, then you must reset the
SCSI address selector to another number:
1.
Ensure the scanner power is off.
2.
Choose any unused number in the range 0-6.
Note: Do not use settings 7 to 9 on your scanner. They are for factory use only.
3.
Reset the scanner’s SCSI address to the number you have chosen.
Check the Terminators
There should be two terminators in a SCSI chain: it is best to place the terminators at
each end of the SCSI chain. The following illustrations are the two kinds of external
terminators that you can use.
The simplest configurations for using the scanner with an ASPI compatible SCSI
card are as follows:
!
Connect the scanner to an ASPI compatible interface card that does not have
another device attached to it.
In this situation, the card will have a built-in terminator. The card forms one end of
the SCSI chain; the scanner forms the other end. Simply attach the supplied
external terminator to the scanner. These will ensure that there are two
terminators and that they are placed at the ends of the SCSI chain.
!
Connect the scanner to an ASPI card that has another device attached to it.
In this case, check to see if the other SCSI device has a terminator. If not, attach the
terminator to the scanner. If the other device has an internal terminator, simply
attach the scanner to the SCSI chain. Although the terminators are not,
technically speaking, placed at the ends of the chain, the scanner should work
properly.
If you experience unreliable SCSI operation and suspect terminator problems, or
would like a more thorough discussion of SCSI terminators and possible problems
with SCSI terminators, please consult your dealer.
