Page 22: Choosing A Place For The Scanner
Choosing a Place for the Scanner Follow the guidelines below when selecting a location for your scanner: Place the scanner on a flat, stable surface. The scanner will not operate properly if it is tilted at an angle. Place the scanner close enough to the computer for the interface cable to reach it easily.
Page 23 Allow space behind the scanner for the cables, and space above the scanner so that you can raise the Automatic Document Feeder fully. 596 mm 100 mm or more 488 mm * When Automatic Document Feeder is closed. Keep the scanner away from high temperatures, humidity and excessive dirt or dust.
Page 24: Releasing The Transportation Lock
Releasing the Transportation Lock Before installing the Automatic Document Feeder and connecting the scanner to a power source, you must release the transportation lock. 1. Place the scanner on a flat, stable surface with its back side facing you. 2. While pushing the transportation lock button, turn it counterclockwise to the unlocked position, using a coin or similar disc as shown below.
Page 25: Installing The Automatic Document Feeder
Installing the Automatic Document Feeder The Automatic Document Feeder (B81321 ) allows you to automatically load multiple-page documents into your scanner.

Page 31: Connecting The Scanner To Your Pc Using The Scsi
Connecting the Scanner to Your PC using the SCSI Interface For instructions on connecting the scanner to your PC using the SCSI interface, read this section. Unless your PC already has a SCSI board installed, you need to install one, along with SCSI driver software. Install the SCSI board according to the directions included with it.
Page 32 Daisy Chain The SCSI interface allows you to connect up to seven devices (such as a scanner, hard drive, CD-ROM, and so on) 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; each of the other devices is connected to another SCSI device.
Page 33: Setting The Scsi Id Number
Setting the SCSI ID number The scanner's default SCSI ID number is 2. If you add the scanner to a system in which one of your SCSI devices already has a SCSI ID of 2, change the ID number to an unused number using the rotary switch.
Page 34: Setting The Terminator Switch
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.

Page 35: Setting The Select Switch
The scanner is in the middle of the daisy chain Setting the select switch The scanner has two SCSI connectors: one is for a wide 68-pin SCSI cable and the other for a narrow 50-pin SCSI cable. You may need to change the select switch setting according to the SCSI cable you are using.
Page 36: Connecting The Scanner
Connecting the scanner Use the following steps to connect the scanner to your PC or to another SCSI device. Note: The combination of connectors on the SCSI interface cable you need varies depending on the maker of your SCSI device and SCSI interface board.
Page 37: Power-On Sequence
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the SCSI port of your PC or another SCSI device. 4. Plug in the power cords of your PC, the scanner, and other external SCSI devices. Note: Before turning on your system, be sure to read “Power-on sequence” on page 2-17.

Glossary additive primary colors The colors of red, green and blue (RGB) - which give the perception of white when fully added. These are the colors of the color system used with monitors and scanners. bi-level data Image data that is composed of 1 bit per pixel. A pixel is represented by a single bit of digital data that can express only 1 (light) or 0 (dark).

ESC/P Abbreviation for EPSON Standard Code for Printers. A system of commands that allows you to control printers from your software. exposure A scanner function that lightens or darkens the scanned image data.
Page 131 home position The position at the rear (nearest the cover hinge position) of the scanner where the carriage rests before a scanning operation. Image Color Matching. Windows color management system designed to help you get WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) color output. This software displays colors on your screen as they exist on the scanned documents, or prints colors as you see them on your screen.
Page 132 port An interface channel through which data is transmitted between devices. primary colors Basic colors. See additive primary colors and subtractive primary colors. resolution Indication of how finely an image is resolved into pixels. Measured in dots per inch (dpi), pixels per inch (ppi), or samples per inch (spi). scan An operation performed by the sensor and the carriage.
Page 133 threshold A reference point that is used to determine whether data will be processed as “on” or “off”. In the case of color image data, “on” means that a certain color will appear in a pixel or dot, and “off” means that color will not appear there. tone correction A method of adjusting the tone curve so that the reproduction results on different types of output devices have gradations similar to the original image.
