4 ScanMaker 9700XL Installing and Getting Started
Unlocking the Scanner
Your scanner has a locking screw to protect the scanner carriage mechanism during
shipping. Before you operate the scanner, you need to disengage the locking screw.
1. Turn the scanner on its side and locate the
locking screw at the bottom of the scanner.
2. Using a flathead screwdriver, turn the locking
screw counterclockwise until the screw pushes
out and is flush with the bottom of the scanner
base.
Shipping the scanner
If you have to transport the scanner, the scanner must be locked. To lock the scanner,
follow the steps below:
1. Turn off the scanner if your scanner is on.
2. Set the SCSI ID number to “9”.
3. Turn on your scanner. The scanner's carriage
will move to the standby position in 5 minutes.
4. When the indicators on the front of your
scanner stop blinking, turn the locking screw
clockwise one-fourth turn while pushing it in
simultaneously. The screw should stay in and
not pop back out.
5. Turn off your scanner. The scanner is now ready for transport.
Note
:
To use the scanner again at a future time, be sure to reset the SCSI ID to its
original number prior to step #2. Otherwise, the scanner ID will be left at SCSI ID 9
and will not work.
