Appendix A: Installing A SCSI Card

If you are using a SCSI interface card with your computer and scanner, refer to the installation
instructions provided with the interface card.

After installing the card, do the following steps before connecting your scanner to your computer:

Confirm or reset the SCSI ID of the scanner.

Check the terminators in the SCSI Chain.

Make the SCSI cable connections.

Check the SCSI ID

The illustration below shows the location of the SCSI ID selector at the rear panel of the scanner.
The selector shows the SCSI ID setting of the scanner. In this case, it is #6 – the factory preset
address.

After installing a SCSI interface card in your computer, proceed with the following:

1. Check the SCSI ID of all devices on the SCSI chain. Is SCSI ID #6 on the list of SCSI ID in

use?


2. If not, then you can connect your computer to the scanner with a factory preset SCSI ID of 6.

You may jump to the section Check the Terminators in this appendix.

Reset the Address of the Scanner

If the SCSI ID #6 is in the list of SCSI ID in use, then you must reset the SCSI ID selector to
another number:

1. Ensure the scanner power is off.

2. Choose any unused number in the range 1-6.

Note: Do not use setting 7 to 9 on your scanner. They are for factory use only.

3. Reset the scanner’s SCSI ID to the number you have chosen.
