SCSI ID numbers

Each device on a SCSI chain must have a unique SCSI ID
number from 0 to 6. The Apple Macintosh always uses SCSI
ID number 7. The Macintosh internal hard drive usually uses
SCSI ID number 0 or 1. The SprintScan 45 scanner is set
at the factory to SCSI ID number 5. If this number con-
flicts with your hard drive or any other device on your SCSI
chain, you must change either the SCSI ID number of the
scanner or the SCSI ID number of the other device. Valid SCSI
ID numbers are from 0 to 6.
Changing the SCSI ID The scanner is shipped with the SCSI ID number set to 5.

switch, change the number to an ID number that is unique
