To connect to the computer:
1.
Remove any protective tape from the USB cable.
2.
Plug the USB cable into the USB port on the scanner then into a USB
port on the computer. (Check your computer’s manual for USB port
locations.)
If you use a USB hub, it must have its own power supply already plugged
into an electrical outlet.
3.
Turn on the power switch, located on the back of the scanner.
The status light comes on and flashes indicating that the scanner is
receiving power.
If you are using Windows XP or Windows Vista, and have plugged the
USB cable into a USB 1.1 port, an information bubble may open
explaining that “A HI-SPEED USB device is plugged into a non-HI-
SPEED USB hub”. Plug the USB cable into a USB 2.0 port (if available)
or just disregard the message. If you leave it plugged into the USB 1.1
port, your scanner may scan a bit slower.
4.
Your computer then recognizes that a scanner has been plugged into the
USB port and automatically loads the appropriate software to run the
scanner.
If your computer is running Windows XP or Windows Vista, you will see a
Found New Hardware message similar to the following.
