Note:

IBM® PS/2® computers and some other PCs have built-in bidirectional parallel interfaces. You need to install an additional one in these computers only if you use the built-in parallel interface for your printer.

Install a SCSI board in your computer, if necessary. Then connect the computer to the scanner’s SCSI connector as described under “SCSI Setup” on page 1-8.

0To connect the scanner to an Apple® Macintosh® computer, you do not need to install a SCSI board in your computer; simply connect your scanner to your Macintosh’s built-in SCSI port as described under “SCSI Setup” on page 1-8.

To use an interface correctly, you may need to change settings on the scanner, computer, or both. The following sections explain how to set up and connect each type of interface.

Connecting the Scanner to a Parallel Interface

To connect the scanner to a parallel interface on your computer, use a standard shielded parallel interface cable and follow the steps below.

Caution:

The scanner’s bidirectional parallel interface requires a bidirectional interface on your computer. Check your computer’s specifications to see if its built-in parallel interface is bidirectional.

1.Make sure that both the scanner and computer are turned off.
