For Macintosh users:
Your Macintosh may or may not have SCSI ports, depending on
which model you own. If you have a new Power Macintosh G3,
you need to install the SCSI board and driver that came w ith your
scanner by following the included instructions. Also, see
“Installing a SCSI Interface Board” on page 2-4. The SCSI driver
for the SCSI board that comes with your scanne r is included in
your Scanner Software CD-ROM. Refer to the README FIRST
for further information. Follow the directions below to connect
your scanner and computer.
Note:
The latest driver may be available for download from the Web site of the
SCSI board manufacturer.
Understanding SCSI connectionsRead the following sections to determine how to s et up your SCSI
devices and whether you need any optional SCSI cables.
Daisy Chain
The SCSI interface allows you to connect up to seven devices (such
as a scanner, hard disk, CD-ROM, and so on) to the computer, in what
is called a “daisy chain” arrangement. Only the first SCSI device in
a daisy chain is connected to the computer; each of the other devices
is connected to another SCSI device.
