Determining which ID to use

If the scanner is the only SCSI device that will sit on the SCSI bus, there is no need to change the SCSI 10 from the preset value.

If the scanner must share the SCSI bus with one or more other peripherals, it is necessary to insure that no two peripherals have the same 10. Create a list of SCSI peripherals (see Table 3.2) on the desired bus, noting the device type and the SCSI 10 of that device. To determine the SCSI 10 of the other peripherals, check the rear of each peripheral for some indication of the SCSI 10 of that device. If there is no indication as to the 10 number, then consult with the peripheral 's user's manual or call the peripheral manufacturer to determine the SCSI 10 setting.

Warnlngl

Never change the SCSI ID of a device with the computer running.

If another SCSI peripheral shares the same SCSI 10 as the LS-10, change the SCSI 10 of the LS-10 to an unused SCSI 10 as indicated in the following sections. Note any changes in Table 3.2.
