Using the SCSI Cable. Microtek ArtixScan 120tf

Using the SCSI Cable

Before connecting the scanner, check to see if your computer system has a built-in

SCSI interface or an installed SCSI card. If you need help on installing the SCSI card, please refer to the documentation that came with your SCSI card.

Follow the steps below to make a SCSI connection.

1. Shut down your computer.

2. Set the SCSI ID number to 6. If the SCSI ID number 6 is used by another SCSI device, check which SCSI ID is free, and set the number to a free SCSI ID from 2 through 5.

Push the minus button (-) above the

SCSI ID number to decrease the number; push the plus button (+) to increase the number.

3. Connect the scanner to your computer, using the provided SCSI cable.

Connect one end of the SCSI cable to your computer’s SCSI port, and connect the other end of the cable to the scanner’s SCSI port.

4. Set the scanner’s terminator switch to the “ON” position.

Note: If you have multiple devices on your SCSI chain, make sure the scanner is the last device on the chain and that the scanner is terminated (i.e., scanner's terminator switch is set to ON).

5. Connect the power cord to the scanner.

Plug the power cord into the back of the scanner, and plug the other end into a wall outlet or power source.

6. Turn on the scanner, and wait for the lights on the front panel to stop blinking and stay on steady.

7. Turn on the computer; the system will detect the scanner automatically.
