Interface
Fig. 54 The Interface Buttons
Communication with the scanner can be through GPIB or SCSI. Selecting
and setting up an interface is only a matter of clicking on the appropriate button. In
order for the SCSI button to be enabled, there must be a SCSI board installed that
has an ASPI (Advanced SCSI Programming Interface) driver available and loaded.
In order for the GPIB button to be enabled, there must be a National Instruments
GPIB board with drivers for Windows (GPIB.DLL) installed. When either button
is pressed, a dialog will come up.

The Address control allows the choice of automatically searching the SCSI
bus for the scanner or selecting a specific address. Every device on a SCSI bus
must have its own address. The SCSI board itself is usually set to address 7. Hard
drives are usually set to address 0. The scanner will be set to address 5 by default.
The default choice is to scan the bus for the scanner.
> Caution If the scanner is connected to a SCSI bus with a hard drive at the same
address as the scanner, the scanner plugin may corrupt the hard drive.
