Installing the Macintosh Software
Although you can connect the scanner either before or after installing the scanner software, you’ll see a message that your scanner driver needs to be installed if you connect it before installing. Close the message and continue with the installation instructions in the next section. For instructions on installing software for a network scanner, go to Chapter 4, “Network Scanning.”
You can connect the scanner using either a SCSI or USB interface. If you have installed the optional IEEE 1394 FireWire scanner interface card, you can also connect the scanner using the IEEE 1394 FireWire interface. See “Connecting the Scanner to Your Computer” on page 18 for instructions on connecting the scanner, and “IEEE 1394 FireWire Scanner Interface Card” on page 122 for instructions on installing the IEEE scanner FireWire interface card.
If you’ve used an EPSON scanner on your Macintosh and have installed an older version of EPSON TWAIN software, open the Extensions Manager before you begin installation. Clear the checkboxes next to EPSON Scanner Monitor Extension or EPSON Scanner Monitor USB Extension and restart your computer. Then continue with the instructions below.
