Connecting the Scanner to the Computer

Follow these steps to connect the scanner to your computer and, for Windows 95, to configure the scanner port:

1.Turn off your computer, scanner, and any other peripheral devices.

e Caution:

Be sure that your computer, scanner, and other peripheral devices are turned off before you plug in the cable.

2.Connect the 25-pin end of the parallel cable to the parallel port on your computer; then tighten the connector screws.

3.Connect the other end of the cable to the scanner’s parallel interface and fasten it with the wire clamps, as shown.

4.Turn on the scanner by pressing the OPERATE button. The green OPERATE light on the top right side of the scanner comes on. The READY light comes on when the scanner has warmed up.

5.Turn on your monitor and all your other peripheral devices. Then turn on the computer. (Always turn on the scanner before the computer.)
