SCSI Printer and Scanner Installation Details
The following sections discuss the requirements and procedure for connecting
your printer or scanner to the SCSI bus
SCSI ID's
You must select a SCSI ID for your printer(s) or scanner(s) that does not conflict
with any other SCSI devices that are already on your system. Possible ID's range
from 0 to 7 (some SCSI buses may support more, but our SCSI drivers only
support this range). Typically, ID 7 is reserved for the computer's own SCSI host
adapter. Other ID's are frequently taken by disk, CD-ROM, and tape drives. On
most platforms, you will see a list of occupied SCSI ID's on the system console
during boot up, or listed in a system-specific command display of device ID's.
After you determine what ID's are not being used, consult your printer or scanner
manual for setting its SCSI ID.
