Connecting the Scanner (SCSI) to Your
Computer
Before you connect the scanner to your computer using the SCSI
interface, read the following sections to determine your systems.
SCSI Board
❏ For PC users:
You need to install the board and SCSI driver software if you
have not done so. Check your system documentation to see
whether the driver is included with your operating system
already, or if necessary use the documentation included with
the board and SCSI driver software for installation
instructions.
❏ For Macintosh users:
Your Macintosh may or may not have SCSI ports, depending
on which model you own. Check your system documentation
whether you need to install the SCSI board and driver
Daisy Chain
The SCSI interface allows you to connect up to seven devices (such
as scanner, hard disk, CD-ROM, and so on) to the computer, in
what is called a “daisy chain” arrangement. Only the first SCSI
device in a daisy chain is connected to the computer; each of the
other devices is connected to another SCSI device.
SCSI Cables
You may need to purchase SCSI cables before setting up your SCSI
daisy chain. Be sure the SCSI cable connectors are suitable for your
hardware, depending on the maker of your SCSI device and SCSI
interface board.
