Epson ES-300C Scanner User Manual


 
Connecting the Scanner to the SCSI Interface
3.
If you have a Macintosh without an internal hard disk and you
want to connect one or more SCSI devices in addition to the
scanner, you must be sure the first SCSI device in the chain has a
terminator (either external or internal) as shown in the
illustrations below.

Normally, in this arrangement, the first SCSI device is an
external hard disk.
Remember that you must place the scanner (with its built-in
terminator) last on the daisy chain.
CAUTION:
If you want to place the scanner in the middle
of the SCSI chain, you must take your SCSI board to the
dealer to have the terminator resistors removed. If you
have already installed the SCSI board, see the section on
removing the SCSI board later in this appendix. If you
choose to place the scanner in the middle of the SCSI
chain, you may need additional cables. Consult your
dealer.
