Setting Up Your Scanner

Connecting the Scanner to Your Computer
You can connect the scanner to your computer in any of these ways:
■ USB
If you have a Power Macintosh
® with built-in USB support or your computer is
running Windows Me (Windows Millennium), Windows 2000, or Windows 98
(factory installed), you can connect the Expression 1680 with the USB cable that
came with the scanner. Windows Me, Windows 2000, or Windows 98 must be
preinstalled on your computer; upgrades from previous versions are not
supported. There is no USB support for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0.
■ SCSI
If you have a Power Macintosh with built-in SCSI support or a compatible PCI
SCSI/SCSI 2 adapter board, or your Windows computer has an ASPI-compliant
SCSI 2 board (Adaptec
® boards are recommended), you can connect the scanner
with a SCSI 2 cable not more than 9.8 feet long. If your computer is running
Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0, you must use a SCSI connection.
■ IEEE 1394 (FireWire)
If you have the Professional FireWire model of the Expression 1680, or you’ve
purchased the optional IEEE 1394 FireWire scanner interface card, you can
connect the scanner to your Power Macintosh or PC with the IEEE 1394
FireWire cable. Your Power Macintosh must have a built-in IEEE 1394 FireWire
port or an IEEE 1394 FireWire PCI card, and must be running Macintosh
OS 8.6 or later with FireWire Update 2.1 or later. Your PC must have an OHCI
compliant IEEE 1394 port or card, and must be running a pre-installed version of
Windows 2000 or Windows Me.
Adaptec Power Domain ® 2940UW and 2940U2W SCSI boards for the
Macintosh are designed for hard drives only and are not compatible with
scanners.
If you install a USB card in your Macintosh and then upgrade your system
to OS 8.6, your USB Manager won’t be installed and your scanner may not
work. To have USB support, you must perform a full installation of OS 8.6
from a CD-ROM before you install the card.
