To connect the power:

Plug the power supply into the power port on the scanner.

Plug the power cord into the power supply then into a wall outlet.

To connect to the computer:

Remove any protective tape from the USB cable.

Plug the USB cable into the USB port on the scanner then into a USB
port on the computer. (Check your computer’s manual for USB port
locations.)

If you use a USB hub, it must have its own power supply already plugged
into an electrical outlet.

Note:

Only use the power supply (HEG42-240200-7L made by HiTron)

included with your scanner. Connecting any other type of power supply may
damage your scanner, and will void its warranty.
