About Scanner Connectors
USB Connectors
Many newer computers rely on USB technology as the primary
method of communication between the computer and its peripherals.
With this new USB “plug-and-play” technology your computer
automatically configures peripherals.
If your computer has a USB port, you must make sure that this port
is enabled in the system.
Checking Your Computer’s Connectors
To use your scanner you need to understand what type of
connectors you have on your computer. To determine the connector
type, look at the back or front panel of your computer:
• A USB port is a small slot ½” long and ¼” wide.
NOTE: If your computer has a USB port, check to make sure that
your computer's operating system supports USB. The following
factory-installed operating systems support USB: Microsoft
Windows 98/98SE, Windows 2000, or Windows ME.
Setting Up – General Information
