SCSI Cables
Before purchasing a SCSI cable or setting up your SCSI daisy chain, be sure your SCSI cable(s) has the right combination of
SCSI ID and terminator
Each device has a SCSI ID number: the computer is usually number 7, and each of the other devices must have a different number between 0 and 6. Also, the first device and the last device in the chain (not including the computer) must have a terminator. No other device can have a terminator or if a terminator does exist, it must be turned off.
Setting the SCSI ID number
The scanner’s default SCSI ID number is 2.

The SCSI ID rotary switch is located at the rear of the scanner.
If you add the scanner to a system in which one of your SCSI devices already has a SCSI ID of 2, change the ID number of the scanner to an unused number. See the table on the next page as a guide.
