Chapter 3 — Installing the s c anner for the PC 37
Testing the connection
You are now ready to perform a test to check if the scanner is correctly connected
to your PC.
Caution: Check if the s c anner is properly unloc k ed .
1. Connect the power cord to the scanner.
Use the correct power cord for the voltage in your area. SnapScan
automatically adjusts to any AC electrical outlet rated from 100V to 240V.
2. Check if the SCSI cable is properly connected.
3. Switch on the scanner.
The scanner performs a self-test during which the status indicator blinks
slowly. This takes about 15 seconds or less. After the self-test the status
indic at o r remains on.
If a malfunction is detected during the self-test, that is, if the status indicator
starts blinking at a higher frequency, refer to
Appendix C, “Troubleshooting” .
4. Switch on any other SCSI devices you may have attached, and wait for them
to start up.
5. Switch on your PC.
6. Check in the Adaptec™ SCSI interrogator if the SCSI interface card sees the
scanner at the right SCSI ID. You will find the SCSI inte rrogato r after inst alling
the s o ftware EZ-SCS I. For more info rmation see
