2.Plug the square connector on the USB cable into the USB connector

on the back of the scanner. Then plug the flat connector into the USB port on your computer or USB hub.

USB port

Your system 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.

For Macintosh® users: If you connect the scanner before installing the software, a message appears telling you that the scanner driver needs to be installed (Mac OS® 8.X), or a message appears to prompt you to download the scanner driver from the Internet (Mac OS 9). When this happens, click OK (Mac OS 8.X) or Cancel (Mac OS 9) and insert the EPSON Scanner Software CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive. Then follow the instructions in “If You’re Using a Macintosh . . .” on page 18 to install the scanner software.
