SCSI ID numbers
WARNING: TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO YOUR HARDWARE
AND SOFTWARE, READ THIS SECTION BEFORE TURNING
ON YOUR SYSTEM.
Each device on a SCSI chain must have a unique SCSI ID
number from 0 to 6. The Apple Macintosh always uses SCSI
ID number 7. The Macintosh internal hard drive usually uses
SCSI ID number 0 or 1.
The SprintScan 45 scanner is set
at the factory to SCSI ID number 5.
If this number con-
flicts with your hard drive or any other device on your SCSI
chain, you must change either the SCSI ID number of the
scanner or the SCSI ID number of the other device. Valid SCSI
ID numbers are from 0 to 6.
Changing the SCSI ID
The scanner is shipped with the SCSI ID number set to 5.
of the scanner
To change the ID number, do the following:
1
Turn the scanner off and disconnect it from your computer
and all other SCSI devices.
2
Locate the SCSI ID switch on the back of the scanner (picture
1). Pressing the button marked (-) or (+) above and below the
switch, change the number to an ID number that is unique
from other numbers in the chain, from 0 to 6.
3
The new number will take effect the next time the scanner is
turned on.
WARNING: IF TWO DEVICES ON A SCSI CHAIN HAVE THE
SAME SCSI ID NUMBER, NEITHER WILL WORK CORRECTLY,
AND DATA MAY BE DAMAGED WHEN YOU TURN ON THE
DEVICES.
