3 Connect the cable for the built-in transparency unit (scanner cover). Make sure the notch and arrow on the connector are facing up.

4 Connect either the USB cable that came with the scanner or an optional IEEE 1394 (FireWire) cable. Do not connect both cables.

If you’re using USB

Plug the square end of the USB cable into the scanner’s USB port. Then plug the flat end into any available USB port on your computer or hub.

Note: Your scanner may not work correctly if you use a USB cable other than the one supplied by Epson or if you connect your scanner through more than one hub.

If you’re using IEEE 1394 (FireWire)

Plug one end of the IEEE 1394 cable (not included) into the scanner’s IEEE 1394 port. Then plug the other end into the IEEE 1394 (FireWire or iLink) port on your computer.
