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.
If you are having trouble with a USB or a SCSI connection, use the Apple System
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
