Connecting the Scanner to Your

Macintosh

Use this procedure to connect the scanner directly to the SCSI

port on your computer using the SCSI cable included with the

scanner. This cable has a 25-pin connector on one end and a

50-pin connector on the other.

If you are already using the SCSI port on your computer for

another SCSI device, such as an external hard disk, you need a

SCSI cable with a 50-pin connector on both ends. You can then

connect the scanner to your other SCSI device, following the

instructions in Chapter 1 of your ES-1200C User’s Guide.

Caution:

Be sure that your Macintosh, scanner, and any other SCSI

devices are turned off before you plug in the cable.

1. Plug the 25-pin connector into the SCSI port on the

Macintosh. This port has a icon above it. Tighten the

two screws on the sides of the connector.

2. Connect the 50-pin end of the cable to either the top or

bottom SCSI connector of the scanner; then fasten the

connector with the wire clamps on its side.

3. Turn on the scanner, then the Macintosh. (Always turn the

scanner on before the computer.)
