IEEE 1394 FireWire Scanner Interface Card
To use the IEEE 1394 FireWire scanner interface card (B808342), your system must
have the following:
Built-in IEEE 1394 FireWire port or IEEE 1394 FireWire PCI card
(OHCI-compliant)
Macintosh: OS 8.6 or later with FireWire Update 2.1 or later
Windows: pre-installed version of Windows XP, 2000, or Me
This section explains how to install the IEEE 1394 FireWire scanner interface card in
your scanner, and how to connect the scanner to your computer.
Note: If you have the Professional FireWire model of the Expression 1680, the
card was preinstalled in your scanner.
Installing the Card in Your Scanner
Before you begin, turn off the scanner and disconnect the power cord and any cables.
Caution: Static electricity can damage electronic components like the IEEE 1394
FireWire scanner interface card. To discharge static electricity, touch the
scanner’s metal frame before handling the card.
1. Remove the two screws securing the shield plate to the scanner’s optional interface
slot, and then remove the plate. Put the screws and shield plate in a safe place in
case you want to reinstall the shield plate later.
