Warning: 

Static electricity can cause severe damage to your computer system and scanner, review 
the section entitled “Maintenance:  Static Electricity Precautions.” 

 

*  Your scanner connects to your computer via a SCSI connection.  A proprietary card is provided to 

make this connection.  If you have an Adaptec compliant card already installed in your computer go to 
next section “Connecting the Scanner and your PC”.

Now that the interface card has been installed in the computer, the scanner can be connected.  To connect 
the scanner and computer, do the following: 
 

1.  Turn off your computer and unplug the power cord. 
2.  Locate the supplied SCSI Cable.  Connect the 25-pin cable connector to the interface card you just 

installed in your PC. 

3.  Attach the other end of the cable to one SCSI port of your scanner. 
4.  If your scanner is not chained to other SCSI devices or is the last device on the SCSI chain, please 

connect the Terminator to the remaining SCSI port of your scanner. 

5.  Connect the power adapter to the scanner.
