Computer types
For a PC-compatible computer, do one of the following:
Install a bi-directional parallel interface board in your
computer. Then connect the computer to the scanner’s
bidirectional interface.
Note:
IBM
®
PS/2
®
computers and some other computers have built-in
bi-directional parallel interfaces. You do not need to install one in
those computers unless you need the built-in parallel interface for
your printer.
Install a SCSI board in your computer. Then connect the
computer to the scanner’s SCSI interface.
For a Macintosh@ computer you do not need to install a
board in your computer; you just connect your Macintosh
to the scanner’s SCSI interface.
To use an interface correctly, you may need to change settings
on the scanner, computer, or both. The following sections
explain how to set up and connect each type of interface.
Connecting the parrallel interface
Caution:
The scanner’s bi-directional parallel interface requires a
compatible type of interface on your computer. You may not
be able to use the ordinary parallel printer interface on your
computer; check your computer’s specification to see if the
parallel interface is bi-directional.
