5. Termination

A terminator is included in your scanner package and should be installed on your scanner in the following situations:

If the scanner is the only SCSI device in your SCSI chain; or

If you are daisy chaining the scanner with other SCSI devices AND the scanner is the last device in your SCSI chain.

Normally, a terminator is not required is when the scanner is part of a daisy chain and is NOT the last device in the SCSI chain.

To install the terminator, plug it into the SCSI port at the back of the scanner (beside the cable connecting the scanner to the computer).
