OPERATE button Turns the scanner on and off. When the power is turned on, the scanner is reset.
RESET button Initializes the scanner. Every value is reset to the default value. The RESET button is located under the
DIP-switch cover.
Indicators
READY (green LED) Comes on when the scanner is ready to receive data.
ERROR (red LED) Indicates that an error has occurred.

ACKNLG OUT/(IN)
STROBE pulse to read in or send out data. Pulse width must be more than 0.5 microseconds at the receiving terminal.
These signals represent information of bits 1 to 8, respectively. Each signal is at a high level when data is logical 1 and low when it is logical 0.
29 BUSY OUT/(IN)
About a 12-microsecond pulse.
Low indicates that data has been received and that the scanner is ready to accept more data.
When this signal is high, the scanner cannot receive data.
The signal is high:
1) during data entry
2) during scanning
3) when the scanner is not ready
4) when the scanner has an error
0 Regarding Pin No. 19-30. “return” denotes the twisted-pair return, to be connected at signal ground level. For interface wiring, be sure to use a twisted-pair cable for each signal, and to complete the connection on the return side. These cables should be shielded and the ground connected to the chassis of the host computer and the scanner.
0 All interface conditions are based on TTL level.

SCSI Setup
SCSI ID number setting,
The factory default of the scanner’s SCSI ID is number 2. The computer is always ID number 7. If you are going to add the scanner to a system in which one of your SCSI devices already has a SCSI ID of 2, change the ID number of the scanner to an unused number as described below.
1. Locate the SCSI ID rotary switch next to the SCSI connectors on the rear panel of the scanner.
2. To change the SCSI ID, turn the small dial to the desired number.
e
Caution:
Do not set the SCSI ID to 8 or 9, and do not set the ID number to an ID that is already assigned to another device.
The computer, scanner, and other devices will not function properly.
Terminator setting
If the scanner is the only SCSI device you are going to connect to your computer or if it is the last device in the daisy chain, leave the terminator on. The terminator is on when
Switch 1 of the terminator switches, located between the SCSI connector on the rear panel, is on. See below for the location of the switches.
The scanner should always be the last device on the daisy chain. You do not need to change the factory settings for the terminator switches as long as the scanner is the only SCSI device or the last SCSI device in the daisy chain.
If you decide to connect the scanner in the middle of the daisy chain, turn terminator Switch 1 off. (Switch 2 must always be off.)

Error Codes
COMMAND Errors
Cause:
Disposition:
Indications:
Remedy:
An unidentified command is detected.
The scanner ignores the command or parameter. (Therefore, the current settings or the default values remain in effect.) The scanner sends a
NACK, and waits for the next command or parameter.
ES-600C READY LED comes ON
ERROR LED comes ON
The error condition is cleared when the scanner receives a correct command.
INTERFACE Errors
Cause:
Disposition:
Indications:
Remedy:
A wrong procedure is detected in interface communications. With a
SCSI, a transition is frozen more than
30 seconds, except for the BUS FREE phase.
The lamp goes OFF and the scanner stops operation.
ES-600C READY LED goes OFF
ERROR LED blinks
Turn the scanner off and then back on.
Press the RESET button.
The INIT signal in the parallel interface turns active.
The RESET signal in SCSI turns active.
Complete BUS DEVICE RESET message in the SCSI.
Acceptable commands: None.
FATAL Errors
Cause:
Indications:
The lamp is broken.
Power is turned on without removing the transportation screw.
System breakdown.
An error related to the ADF is detected, such as cover open, paper jamming, etc.
ES-600C READY LED blinks.
ERROR LED blinks.
Scanners
Remedy: Turn the scanner off and then back on.
Press the RESET button.
Send ESC @ codes to the scanner.
The INIT signal in the parallel interface turns active.
The reset signal turns active in SCSI.
Complete BUS DEVICE RESET message in the SCSI.
Acceptable commands: ESC F, ESC f, ESC @
OPTION Error (Available only when an option is installed and enabled with ESC e)
Cause: An error related to the option is detected, such as cover open, paper jamming, etc.
Indications:
Remedy:
ES-600C READY LED blinks.
ERROR LED blinks.
This error condition is cleared when the cause of the error is corrected.
