Connect the Scanner to Your Computer
Make sure the scanner, computer, and any SCSI devices
connected to your computer are turned off. The scanner is off
when the
P
OPERATE button is out (not pushed down below
the surface of the front panel).
1. Locate the SCSI cable that
came with your scanner.
2. Squeeze the lock releases
on the lock connector
end of the SCSI cable and
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 another SCSI device in the
chain and tighten the screws to secure the cable.
If you’re connecting multiple SCSI devices, the total length of
the SCSI bus (cables) must not exceed 19.7 feet (6 meters);
otherwise the system may not work properly.
Do not use an external terminator. For more information on
SCSI connections, see your electronic EPSON Expression
836XL User’s Guide.
4. Plug in the power cables for your computer, scanner, and other external SCSI
devices.
If you’re using Windows 95 or Windows 98, you can also
connect the scanner to your computer’s bidirectional parallel
port. Use a bidirectional parallel cable to connect to the
scanner’s parallel interface. See your Windows
documentation if you need help setting up your port.
