Checking connections

The scanner can be connected to the computer using a USB or a SCSI connection.
USB is recommended because its installation is simpler.

Profiler to verify that scanner is connected to the computer correctly.

about your computer, such as:

the version of the Mac OS your computer is using

the number and type of peripheral devices that are connected to your computer

what programs are installed on your computer

If you are still having trouble with USB after using the Apple System Profiler, see
