22 VISIONEER STROBE XP SCANNER USER’S GUIDE
CONNECT THE STROBE XP 200 SCANNER
The cable provided with the scanner is called a USB “Y-cable,” and you
will need to connect it to the scanner, computer, and a power outlet.
1. Using the on-screen window as your guide, plug the AC adapter
cable into the power jack on the USB Y-cable. Then plug the AC
adapter into an electrical outlet.
2. Plug the cable into the connection port on the back of the scanner;
please be sure the arrows on the cable line up with the arrows on the
scanner to avoid pins getting bent while inserting the connection.
3. Plug the cable’s USB connector into a USB port on your computer.
The USB symbol on your computer identifies the location of the
USB port. If the plug does not attach easily, make sure that you are
plugging it in correctly. Do not force the plug into the connection.
4. Now proceed to “Step 3: Calibrate the Scanner” on page 24.
Note: You can also connect the scanner to a USB hub if the hub has
its own power supply plugged into an electrical outlet.
