Connecting to a USB Interface
With the USB interface, you can connect or remove your scanner without having to
shut down or restart your computer.
Don’t disconnect or connect the USB cable when the
Expression 1640XL is scanning.
Windows 2000 or Windows 98 must be preinstalled on your computer, not
upgraded. There is no USB support for Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0.
1. Locate the USB cable that came with your scanner.
2. Connect the square end of the USB
cable to the scanner’s USB port.
3. Connect the flat end of the USB
cable to your computer’s USB port
or USB hub port.
If your scanner and computer are both powered on, you see the Add New Hardware
Wizard if you’re running Windows 98 (Found New Hardware wizard in Windows
2000) or a message that your scanner driver needs to be installed if you have a
Macintosh. Continue with the instructions in “Installing the Windows Software” on
page 23 or “Installing the Macintosh Software” on page 45.
If you’re using a USB hub, connect the scanner to a first tier
hub, which is the hub closest to the computer. If the scanner
doesn’t work with the hub, connect it directly to a USB port
on your computer.
