Chapter 2 — Installing the scanner 18
Connecting the scanner
Before you connect the scanner to your Macintosh, make sure that your scanner as well as your
Macintosh and everything connected to it are switched off.
A SCSI cable is supplied with your scanner.
Caution: For safety reasons, never use extension cables for power cables.
Always make sure there are no more than two terminators in your SCSI chain, one at the beginning and one at
the end. Some SCSI devices have built-in terminators and must therefore be placed at the beginning or end of
your SCSI chain. Check the documentation of each of your SCSI devices if you are not sure whether the
device has a built-in terminator. The last device of your chain has to be terminated. Your SnapScan has no
built-in terminator.
If your SnapScan is the only SCSI device to be connected to your Apple
Macintosh:
1. Place the terminator on the 50-pin connector of the scanner.
2. Connect the smaller 25-pin end of the SCSI cable to the connector on your Macintosh.
3. Connect the larger 50-pin end of the SCSI cable to the free side of the terminator.
4. Snap the diamond shaped wire clips into the clip brackets to secure the connection.
In case of problems, refer to Appendix C, “Troubleshooting”.
