SCSI cables
If you are using a SCSI cable other than the one provided, the length of
the cable must not exceed 9.8 feet (3 meters) to maintain compliance with
SCSI-2.
If you are connecting multiple SCSI devices to your computer, you
may need to purchase SCSI cables before setting up your SCSI
chain. Be sure the SCSI cable connectors are suitable for your
hardware, depending on the maker of your SCSI device and SCSI
interface board.
To connect the scanner to another SCSI device, the length of cable must
not exceed 19.7 feet (6 meters); otherwise the system may not work
properly.
SCSI ID
Each device has a SCSI ID number:
the SCSI adapter in the computer is
usually number 7, and each of the
other devices must have a different
number between 0 and 6. The
EPSON Perfection 636 default SCSI
ID number is 2.
