SCSI connections The SCSI interface allows you to connect up to eight devices, including the computer, in what is called a daisy-chain arrangement. A daisy chain is made up of a computer and one or more SCSI devices. Only the first SCSI device is connected to the computer; each of the other devices is connected to the previous device. Each device has a SCSI ID number: the computer is number 7, and each of the other devices must have a different number between 0 and 6. Also, the first device and the last device in the chain (not including the computer) must have a terminator, and no other device can have a terminator. If you connect other SCSI devices in addition to the scanner to your computer, make the scanner the last device in the daisy chain: plug the scanner into the 50-pin connector on the next to last device in the chain. For this connection you will need a SCSI cable with 50-pin connectors on both ends. SCSI ID number setting The factory set SCSI ID of the scanner is 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 next.

SCSI connections
The SCSI interface allows you to connect up to eight devices,
including the computer, in what is called a daisy-chain
arrangement. A daisy chain is made up of a computer and one
or more SCSI devices. Only the first SCSI device is connected to
the computer; each of the other devices is connected to the
previous device.
Each device has a SCSI ID number: the computer is number 7,
and each of the other devices must have a different number
between 0 and 6. Also, the first device and the last device in the
chain (not including the computer) must have a terminator, and
no other device can have a terminator.
If you connect other SCSI devices in addition to the scanner to
your computer, make the scanner the last device in the daisy
chain: plug the scanner into the 50-pin connector on the next to
last device in the chain. For this connection you will need a
SCSI cable with 50-pin connectors on both ends.
SCSI ID number setting
The factory set SCSI ID of the scanner is 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 next.
