Step 5—Set the scanner’s SCSI ID
Each device in the SCSI chain has a unique ID, which is a number
between zero and seven that the computer uses to distinguish
between different devices. When connecting the LS-30 to a SCSI
chain, the scanner’s SCSI ID must be set to a number that is not
shared by any of the other devices, including the computer itself.
The scanner’s SCSI ID is indicated by the SCSI ID dial on the rear
panel. Before the scanner leaves the factory, the ID is set to “2.”

When choosing
another ID for the scanner, bear in mind that the
computer will usually have an ID of either “0” or “7,” and that
internal hard disks often have IDs of “0” or “1.” In the case of
Macintosh computers, the computer will have an ID of “7,” while
the internal hard disk and CD-ROM drive often have IDs of “0” and
“3,” respectively. In general, it is recommended that you set the
scanner’s ID to any number other than zero, one, three, and seven
that is not used by another SCSI device.
Caution: Assigning the same ID to two different devices could
render the computer system inoperable or result in important data
on a hard disk being lost or corrupted.
