OMNISCANNER
12. Universal Serial Bus Port
USB allows you to instantly connect OMNIScanner2 to your computer running
Windows
®
98 (2nd Edition) or Windows
®
2000.
A standardized plug and port replaces all the different kinds of serial and
parallel port connectors and combinations.
When using a USB-compliant PC, you just turn on your PC, attach
OMNIScanner2 to the USB port, and turn on the scanner. USB makes the
connection process automatic and hassle free. Up to 10 OMNIScanner2s can be
connected simultaneously.
NOTE
Most PCs, including many notebooks, on the market today are fully
USB-ready.
The “Hot-swapping” feature allows you to attach or remove OMNIScanner2 on
the fly, without having to shut down and restart your PC. OMNIScanner2 will be
detected automatically. This feature is especially useful when uploading results
from several scanners.
Of course the USB works with Scanlink Upload Utility, OMNIScanner
Configuration and OMNIScanner Remote Control. (See Chapter 9, Uploading
and Printing for more information.)
