Connecting IEEE 1394/Firewire Devices
When using the scanner with other devices connected to the same bus, observe the precau- tions below.
Do not turn other devices on or off or disconnect interface cables while scanning is in progress (i.e., while the scanner status LED is blinking slowly).
Connect the scanner directly to the computer. The scanner may not function as expected when connected to a hub.
The scanner may not function as expected when used together with other IEEE 1394/Firewire devices. Should you experience difficulties operating the scanner, we recommend that you disconnect all other devices on the same bus and reconnect the scanner and computer.
Do not connect two or more scanners of the same type to the same computer simul- taneously.
The description in this manual follows the order of steps you will take when setting up the scanner for the first time, with the result that the instructions on turning the scanner on follow those on cable connection. Please note, however, that as an IEEE 1394/Firewire device, your Nikon scanner can be connected or dis- connected while on and can be used immediately following connection. There is no need to turn off or restart the device each time it is connected.
After disconnecting the interface cable, wait a few seconds before plugging it in again.
