For Macintosh users:
Your Macintosh may or may not have SCSI ports, depending on
which model you own. If you have a new Power Macintosh G3,
you need to install the SCSI board and driver that came with your
scanner by following the included instructions. Also, see
“Installing a SCSI Interface Board” on page 2-4. The SCSI driver
for the SCSI board that comes with your scanner is included in
your Scanner Software CD-ROM. Refer to the README FIRST
for further information. Follow the directions below to connect
your scanner and computer.
Note:
The latest driver may be available for download from the Web site of the
SCSI board manufacturer.
Understanding SCSI connections
Read the following sections to determine how to set up your SCSI
devices and whether you need any optional SCSI cables.
Daisy Chain
The SCSI interface allows you to connect up to seven devices (such
as a 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.
