If the scanner comes on when you plug it in, turn it off by

pressing the

OPERATE

button.

Warning:

Whenever you

turn

off the scanner, wait at least 10 seconds

before turning it back on. Rapidly turning it on and off can

damage the scanner.

Connecting the Scanner to Your

Macintosh

Follow the steps below to connect

the

scanner directly to the

SCSI port on your Macintosh using

the

SCSI cable included

with the scanner. This cable has a 25-pin connector on one end

and a 50-pin connector on the other. The SCSI ID is already set

to 2 and the SCSI terminator is on.

If you are already using the SCSI port on your computer for

another SCSI device, such as an external hard disk, you need a

SCSI cable with a 50-pin connector

on

both ends. You can then

connect the scanner to your other SCSI device and set the SCSI

ID and terminator as necessary; follow the instructions in

Chapter 1 of your scanner

User’s Guide.
