Setting Up Your Scanner

Setting up your scanner is easy. For most installations, just follow the steps in this book in the order listed below.

1. Unpack and choose a place for your scanner.

2. Unlock the scanner.

3. Connect the scanner to your computer.

4. Power on your scanner, then power on your computer.

Setting Up Your Scanner


Choosing a Good Place for Your Scanner

Here are some points to consider when you set up your scanner:

■

■

Place the scanner on a flat, stable surface. If the scanner is tilted, it can’t operate properly.

Make sure to place the scanner where you can easily unplug the power cord, and where your cable can reach your computer.

■

■

■

Keep the scanner away from direct sunlight and strong light sources.

Be sure there’s enough room behind the scanner for the cables, and above the scanner so you can fully raise the document cover.

Avoid places subject to shocks and vibrations, or high or rapidly changing temperatures and humidity.

Testing Your Scanner’s Operation

To make sure your scanner is working properly, it’s a good idea to turn it on before you connect it to your computer.

The scanner’s voltage cannot be changed. If the label on the back of the scanner does not display the correct voltage for your area, contact your dealer. Do not plug in the power cord.

1. Plug the scanner’s power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Then open the scanner’s document cover so you can see the operation of the carriage.

2. Press the P Operate button to turn on the scanner.

The READY light on the scanner’s front panel flashes, and the scanner’s carriage moves forward, then back. The READY light stays on when the scanner is ready to scan.

Connecting the Scanner to Your Computer

You can connect the scanner to your computer in any of these ways:

■

■

USB

If you have a Power Macintosh ® with built-in USB support or your computer is running Windows Me (Windows Millennium), Windows 2000, or Windows 98

(factory installed), you can connect the Expression 1680 with the USB cable that came with the scanner. Windows Me, Windows 2000, or Windows 98 must be preinstalled on your computer; upgrades from previous versions are not supported. There is no USB support for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0.

SCS I

If you have a Power Macintosh with built-in SCSI support or a compatible PCI

SCSI/SCSI 2 adapter board, or your Windows computer has an ASPI-compliant

SCSI 2 board (Adaptec ® boards are recommended), you can connect the scanner with a SCSI 2 cable not more than 9.8 feet long. If your computer is running

Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0, you must use a SCSI connection.

■ IEEE 1394 (FireWire)

If you have the Professional FireWire model of the Expression 1680, or you’ve purchased the optional IEEE 1394 FireWire scanner interface card, you can connect the scanner to your Power Macintosh or PC with the IEEE 1394

FireWire cable. Your Power Macintosh must have a built-in IEEE 1394 FireWire port or an IEEE 1394 FireWire PCI card, and must be running Macintosh

OS 8.6 or later with FireWire Update 2.1 or later. Your PC must have an OHCI compliant IEEE 1394 port or card, and must be running a pre-installed version of

Windows 2000 or Windows Me.

Adaptec Power Domain ® 2940UW and 2940U2W SCSI boards for the

Macintosh are designed for hard drives only and are not compatible with scanners.

If you install a USB card in your Macintosh and then upgrade your system to OS 8.6, your USB Manager won’t be installed and your scanner may not work. To have USB support, you must perform a full installation of OS 8.6 from a CD-ROM before you install the card.


17


Connecting to a USB Interface

With the USB interface, you can connect or remove your scanner without having to shut down or restart your computer.

Don’t disconnect or connect the USB cable when the Expression 1680 is scanning.

Windows Me, Windows 2000 or Windows 98 must be preinstalled on your computer, not upgraded. There is no USB support for Windows 95 or

Windows NT 4.0.

1. Locate the USB cable that came with your scanner.

2. Connect the square end of the USB cable to the scanner’s USB port.

3. Connect the flat end of the USB cable to your computer’s USB port or USB hub port.

If you’re using a USB hub, connect the scanner to a first tier hub, which is the hub closest to the computer. If the scanner doesn’t work with the hub, connect it directly to a USB port on your computer.

If your scanner and computer are both powered on, you see the Add New Hardware

Wizard if you’re running Windows 98 (Found New Hardware wizard in Windows

Me or Windows 2000) or a message that your scanner driver needs to be installed if

you have a Macintosh. Continue with the instructions in “Installing the Windows

Software” on page 22 or “Installing the Macintosh Software” on page 47.

18



Connecting to a SCSI Interface

Before you connect the scanner, you must have an ASPI-compliant SCSI 2 interface board installed in your computer (Adaptec SCSI 2 interface boards are recommended). Some computers come with a SCSI 2 board preinstalled; check your computer documentation.

Adaptec Power Domain 2940UW and 2940U2W SCSI boards for the

Macintosh are designed for hard drives and are not compatible with scanners.

If you purchased a SCSI board as an option, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to install both the board and its driver.

You may also need to change the scanner’s SCSI ID setting before you connect it to your computer. If you have another SCSI device that uses SCSI ID 2, turn the scanner off and turn the SCSI

ID switch on the back of the scanner to a new number.

SCSI ID switch

Choose a number that doesn’t conflict with the ID number of other SCSI devices. Don’t use SCSI ID 0, 1, or 7. If your Macintosh has a built-in

CD-ROM, don’t use SCSI ID 3.

Follow these steps to connect the scanner to a SCSI interface:

1. Make sure the scanner and computer are turned off. (The scanner is off when the

P Operate button is out and the ERROR and READY lights are off.)

Do not connect the scanner to the computer while it is turned on, or the scanner could be damaged.


19


2. Squeeze the lock releases on the lock connector end of your SCSI cable, and then plug the cable into either SCSI connector on the back of the scanner.

The cable is secure when both connector locks snap in.

3. Connect the pin end of the SCSI cable to the SCSI port on your computer, or to another SCSI device in the chain.

Tighten the screws to secure the cable.

If you are connecting the scanner directly to your computer, use a cable no more than 9.8 feet (3 meters) long.

Don’t use an external terminator.

4. Locate the SCSI terminator switch at the rear of the scanner.

If the scanner is your only SCSI device, or if it’s the last device in a SCSI chain, leave the terminator switch turned ON .

If you’ve connected your scanner in the middle of a SCSI chain, turn the terminator switch OFF .

Connecting to an IEEE 1394 FireWire Interface

If you have the Professional FireWire model of the Expression 1680, or if you have purchased the optional IEEE 1394 FireWire scanner interface card, you can connect the scanner to your Power Macintosh or PC using an IEEE 1394 FireWire interface.

Your Power Macintosh must have a built-in IEEE 1394 FireWire port or an IEEE

1394 FireWire PCI card, and must be running Macintosh OS 8.6 or later with

FireWire Update 2.1 or later. Your PC must have an OHCI compliant IEEE 1394 port or card, and must be running a pre-installed version of Windows 2000 or

Windows Me.

See “IEEE 1394 FireWire Scanner Interface Card” on page 108 for

information about system requirements and instructions on installing the

card. See page 95 for information about ordering the card.

The IEEE 1394 FireWire scanner interface card has two cable connectors. You can use either one to connect the scanner directly to your computer. At the same time, you can use the second connector to connect other IEEE 1394 FireWire devices in a daisy chain or tree configuration. You can also connect the scanner to another IEEE

1394 FireWire device so that it’s the last IEEE 1394 FireWire device in a chain connected to your computer.

Neither your scanner nor your computer has to be off when you connect the cable.

However, be careful not to connect or disconnect the cable when the scanner is in use.

Follow these steps to connect the scanner:

1. Connect one end of the cable to the

IEEE 1394 FireWire port on the card.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to the

IEEE 1394 FireWire port on your computer or on another IEEE 1394 FireWire device.

If you are using Windows, see the next page.

Otherwise, continue with “Installing the

Macintosh Software” on page 47.
