SCSI Cables

Before purchasing a SCSI cable or setting up your SCSI daisy chain, be sure your SCSI cable(s) has the right combination of 50-pin and 25-pin connectors. The combination you need varies depending on the maker of your SCSI device and SCSI interface board.

SCSI ID and terminator

Each device has a SCSI ID number: the computer is usually number 7, and each of the other devices must have a different number between 0 and 6. Also, the first device and the last device in the chain (not including the computer) must have a terminator. No other device can have a terminator or if a terminator does exist, it must be turned off.

Setting the SCSI ID number

The scanner’s default SCSI ID number is 2.

The SCSI ID rotary switch is located at the rear of the scanner.

If you add the scanner to a system in which one of your SCSI devices already has a SCSI ID of 2, change the ID number of the scanner to an unused number. See the table on the next page as a guide.
