SCSI

For some computers, you first install a SCSI board in your

computer. Then follow the directions below to connect your

scanner and computer. All Macintoshes have SCSI ports; you

do not need to install a SCSI board in the computer. Follow the

directions below to connect the scanner to your Macintosh

SCSI connections

The SCSI interface allows you to connect up to eight devices,

including the computer, in what is called a daisy-chain

arrangement. A daisy chain is made up of a computer and one

or more SCSI devices. Only the first SCSI device is connected to

the computer; each of the other devices is connected to the

previous device.

Each device has a SCSI ID number: the computer is usually

number 7, and each of the other devices must have a different

number between 0 and 6. Also, the first device and the last

device in the chain (not including the computer) must have a

terminator, and no other device can have a terminator. The

SCSI on the scanner has two 50-pin connectors.

If you connect the scanner directly to the computer, you need

a SCSI cable with a 25-pin connector on one end (for the

computer) and a 50-pin connector on the other end (for the

scanner). If you connect the scanner to another SCSI device, use

a SCSI cable with 50-pin connectors on both ends.
