Chapter 3: PC Installation
This chapter describes how you can connect and use the PowerLook 2100XL scanner with your
IBM PC or compatible computer.
Interface Card Installation
Before you can use your scanner with your computer, you need to install the interface card into
your PC.
To install the card into one of the computer’s expansion slots, observe the following procedures:
Note: The interface card is sensitive to static electricity. Handle the card by its mounting bracket,
particularly when removing the card from its anti-static packaging.
1. Turn the computer power off and unplug the power cord.
2. Remove the housing cover of the computer. Follow the instructions provided in your PC’s
reference manual.
3. Remove the metal cover corresponding to your chosen slot. Keep the removed screw so that
it can be used to fasten the interface card.
4. Gently insert the interface card into the slot until it is firmly seated in the slot.
5. Secure the card in place with the screw removed from the expansion slot cover in step 3
above.
6. Replace the housing cover following the instructions provided in the computer’s reference
manual.
Connect the Scanner to the Computer
With settings on the scanner and card correctly set and the interface card properly installed in your
computer, you can now connect the scanner and the computer, as follows:
1. Connect the 25-pin cable connector to the interface card in the PC.
2. Turn on Active terminator and termination power (please refer to Appendix A for more
details on setting termination), connect the SCSI cable to SCSI port and connect the other end
of the SCSI cable to the scanner.
