Connecting to a Computer
There are two ways to connect the scanner to your computer, SCSI or USB. Use
the method that is compatible with your computer system.
■ Do not turn OFF the scanner or remove any interface cables when an application is
running.
■ Do not connect both SCSI and USB interface cables at the same time.
■ Turn OFF the computer and the scanner before changing the cable format.
SCSI Connections
Connect the scanner to the computer.
To connect the scanner with a SCSI cable, you will need the following items that are not
included in the package:
● SCSI card
Check that the SCSI card is installed on your computer.
Use one of the recommended SCSI cards.
● SCSI cable
The scanner’s SCSI connector is a half-pitch 50-pin (pin type) connector. Check the
shape of the connector on your computer’s SCSI card or on the SCSI device
connected to your computer, and prepare a SCSI cable that is compatible with the
connector that can be connected to the scanner.
◆ SCSI Cards
Be sure to use one of the recommended SCSI cards when connecting the
scanner with a SCSI cable. The recommended SCSI cards are listed below.
Recommended SCSI cards
Manufacturer: Adaptec
Product names: AHA-2930U, AHA-2940AU, AHA-2930LP, ASC-19160,
ASC-29160, APA-1480
● Be sure to follow the installation procedure in your computer’s operation manual
when installing the SCSI card to your computer.
● Scan speed is slightly reduced with AHA-2930LP because synchronous transfer is
not available in Windows 2000/XP.
