Epson 1640XL Installing the Card in Your Scanner

Installing the Card in Your Scanner

Before you begin, turn off the scanner and disconnect the power cord and any cables.

1. Remove the two screws securing the shield plate to the scanner’s optional interface slot, and then remove the plate. Put the screws in a safe place in case you want to reinstall the shield plate later.

Static electricity can damage electronic components like the IEEE 1394 FireWire scanner interface card. To discharge static electricity, touch the scanner’s metal frame before handling the card.

2. Turn the card over so that the component side is facing down, and insert it in the optional interface slot. Push gently until the card is firmly seated in the expansion slot inside the optional interface slot.

3. Tighten the retaining screws and reconnect the scanner’s cables.

Now you’re ready to connect the scanner to your computer. See the Start Here sheet for instructions.
