Connecting the Scanner to Your PC using the SCSI Interface For instructions on connecting the scanner to your PC using the SCSI interface, read this section. Unless your PC already has a SCSI board installed, you need to install one, along with SCSI driver software. Install the SCSI board according to the directions included with it. If your PC has a SCSI board up and running, connect the scanner as described in the next section.
Understanding SCSI connections Read the following sections to determine how to set up your SCSI devices and whether you need any optional SCSI cables. Daisy Chain The SCSI interface allows you to connect up to seven devices (such as a scanner, hard disk, CD-ROM, and so on) to the computer, in what is called a “daisy chain” arrangement. Only the first SCSI device in a daisy chain is connected to the computer; each of the other devices is connected to another SCSI device.
Setting the SCSI ID number The scanner's default SCSI ID number is 2. 2 The SCSI ID rotary switch is located at the rear of the scanner. If you add the scanner to a system in which one of your SCSI devices already has a SCSI ID of 2, change the ID number to an unused number using the rotary switch. See the table below as a guide.
Setting the terminator switch The scanner has a built-in terminator, which allows SCSI devices to communicate properly with each other. You may need to change the terminator switch setting according to your computer system. Note: Do not use an external terminator. The terminator switch is located at the rear of the scanner.
The scanner is in the middle of the daisy chain (other SCSI device) 2 terminator off Connecting the scanner Connect the scanner to your PC or to another SCSI device as follows: Note: The combination of connectors on the SCSI interface cable you need varies depending on the maker of your SCSI device and SCSI interface board. 1. Make sure the scanner, computer, and all other SCSI devices are turned off and unplugged from the power source.
2. Connect one end of the interface cable to one of the scanner SCSI connectors until the locks on both sides snap in. Note: ❏ To connect the scanner to a PC or any other SCSI devices, the total length of cable in the daisy chain must not exceed 3 meters; otherwise the system may not work properly. ❏ Make sure no other interface is used. 3. Connect the other end of the cable to the SCSI port of your PC or another SCSI device. 4. Plug in the power cords of your PC, scanner, and other external SCSI devices.
Power-on sequence Keep the following in mind every time you turn on your computer and SCSI devices, including the scanner. ❏ Be sure to turn on the SCSI device which is connected at the farthest end of the daisy chain first, then the second farthest and so on, until finally your computer. If you attempt to use a SCSI device which has been turned on after the computer, it may not work properly, or the computer may not work properly.
Windows Millennium Edition If you see one of these, follow the installation instructions in Chapter 3, then see “Power-off sequence” following. Power-off sequence Keep the following in mind every time you turn off your computer and SCSI devices. ❏ When you are finished using your system, turn off your computer first, then the scanner and other SCSI devices. ❏ While using your computer, do not turn off any SCSI device which has a terminator that is active (on).

The dark gray one is designed for use with your scanner. Do not use the light gray one. 11.
Loading documents into your Automatic Document Feeder Note: Make sure EPSON TWAIN Pro and PageManager for EPSON are installed. The Automatic Document Feeder can automatically load up to 100 sheets. See “Document specifications” on page 6-16 for further information. Follow the steps below to load documents into the Automatic Document Feeder. 1. Slide the right edge guide all the way to the right. 2. Insert the document stack face up into the Automatic Document Feeder until it meets resistance.
❏ To automatically scan both sides of a document, choose the Double-side setting in EPSON TWAIN Pro. ❏ Be sure the switch on lower left corner of the underside of the Automatic Document Feeder is set with the switch towards the circular mark, as shown below. Loading documents manually You can load documents manually even when the Automatic Document Feeder is installed. To load manually, lift the Automatic Document Feeder and place the document on the document table.
Scanning from the Automatic Document Feeder The scanning instructions are divided into two sections; read “Scanning a complete document” to scan an entire document or image, or read “Scanning part of a document” to scan only a certain part of an image or document. Scanning a complete document You do not need to use the preview feature when scanning a full document or image. The scanner automatically finds and scans the whole image. Follow the steps below to scan an image or document. 1.
Scanning part of a document To scan only a part of an image, follow the steps below. 1. Load the document(s) in the Automatic Document Feeder. 2. Start PageManager and select Acquire from the File menu. 3. In the dialog box of EPSON TWAIN Pro or EPSON TWAIN Pro Network, click Preview. The document is ejected after previewing. Note: The second page will be fed immediately after the first page is scanned and ejected without being scanned. 4.

Fixing paper jams in the Automatic Document Feeder If a paper jam occurs, first open the Automatic Document Feeder’s cover, then clear the paper on the document table and determine where the paper jam occurred. If paper jams at the feeder position: Open the left cover and carefully pull the jammed paper out of the feeder mechanism. Note: Be careful not to pull too hard; otherwise the paper may tear, making it more difficult to remove.
If paper jams at the paper eject position: Open the right cover and carefully pull the jammed paper out of the feeder mechanism. Right Cover 6 Note: Be careful not to pull too hard. If the paper tears, open the middle cover and remove the paper as shown below.
After removing the jammed paper, close the Automatic Document Feeder cover and reset the scanner by pressing the Reset button.
Other precautions Do not feed photographic sheets or particularly valuable original artwork into the Automatic Document Feeder; misfeeding a document may result in accidental wrinkling or damage. When you are scanning high-quality color or halftone documents, it is recommended you open the Automatic Document Feeder and scan documents individually. Using the IEEE 1394 Interface Board The optional IEEE 1394 interface board (B80834✽) offers high-speed data transfer and flexible connectivity for your scanner.
Installing the IEEE 1394 interface board to your scanner To use your scanner as an IEEE 1394 device, you need to install the optional IEEE 1394 interface board. 1. Turn off the scanner. Unplug any power cords, then disconnect all cables from the back panel of your scanner. 2. Use a cross-head screwdriver to remove the two screws securing the shield plate to the optional interface slot; then remove the plate. Be sure to keep both screws; you may need to use them again if you re-install the shield plate.
3. Insert the interface board along the side guide rails into the expansion slot in the optional interface slot. 6 4. Secure it with the retaining screws. 5. Reconnect all cables.
Understanding IEEE 1394 connections The interface board is equipped with two cable connectors. One is used to connect the card to the computer, and the other is used to connect other IEEE 1394 devices in a daisy chain or tree configuration. Use the cable supplied when making the connection. The cable can be connected without switching off the power supply to the computer or the scanner because it complies with the IEEE 1394 standard. Cables can be connected whether the scanner or computer are on or off.
When connecting the scanner directly to your computer Connect the cable connector to your computer's IEEE 1394 port. The other cable can be connected to any of the IEEE 1394 ports on the interface board attached to your scanner (any of the ports may be used). Computer scanner When connecting the scanner to your computer with other IEEE 1394 devices If IEEE 1394 devices are already connected to your computer, connect the scanner so that it is the last IEEE 1394 device in the chain.
Note: The IEEE 1394 cable supplied with the optional IEEE 1394 interface board has 2 six pin connectors at each end. If IEEE 1394 devices with four pin connectors are used in a daisy chain or tree, you will need to use a 6:4 converter cable. Computer Scanner IEEE 1394 device Note: Connect the cable to a vacant IEEE 1394 connector if additional IEEE 1394 devices are to be connected to your scanner.
