Prepare the Scanner
Prepare your scanner for installation through the following simple steps:
Check and reset (if necessary) the scanner’s SCSI ID
Run the automatic scanner self-test
Test the Scanner
The scanner automatically performs a simple self-test each time it is turned on. This self-test
checks the status of certain scanner devices.
Start the scanner self-test by following the steps below:
1. Connect the power cord to a wall outlet.
2. Connect the other end of the power cord to the scanner.
3. Turn on the power of the scanner.
At power-on, the front panel indicators flash once. The power indicator then glows and the ready
indicator blinks. When the test is completed, the power and ready indicators glow steadily.
Changing the SCSI ID Number
Your scanner’s SCSI ID setting is factory preset at #6.
Check to see if this ID setting is used by another device connected to your computer’s SCSI
port.
If SCSI ID #6 is not used, you do not need to change your scanner’s SCSI ID number. You
can directly proceed to hardware connection and software installation. For installation
instructions, proceed to Chapter 2 if you are connecting to a Macintosh computer or to
Chapter 3 if you are connecting to an IBM PC.
If you find however, that another connected device is already using SCSI ID #6, then you
must reset the SCSI ID on your scanner.
