Daisy chain The SCSI interface allows you to connect up to seven devices (such as a scanner, hard drive , CD-ROM, etc.) to the computer, in what is called a “daisy chain” arrangement. Only the first SCSI device in a daisy chain is connected to the computer;...
An external terminator on a SCSI device in the middle of the chain should be removed, or its internal terminator should be switched off. Setting the SCSI ID number The scanner's default SCSI ID number is 2. 1-14 Setting Up the Scanner The SCSI ID rotary switch is located on the back of the scanner.
Page 23
If you add the scanner to a system in which one of your SCSI devices already has a SCSI ID of 2, change the scanner ID number to an unused number using the rotary switch. See the table below as a guide.
Setting the terminator switch The scanner has a built-in terminator, which allows SCSI devices to communicate properly with each other. You may need to change the terminator switch setting according to your computer system. Note: Do not use an external terminator on the scanner.
The scanner is in the middle of the daisy chain Set the terminator switch to OFF. Connecting the scanner Connect the scanner to your computer or to another SCSI device as follows: Note: The combination of connectors on the SCSI cable you need varies depending on the manufacturer of your SCSI device and SCSI interface board.
Page 26
Note: When connecting the scanner to a PC or any other SCSI device, the total length of the cable must not exceed 3 meters. 3. Connect the other end of the cable to the SCSI port of your computer or another SCSI device.
