Connecting The Scanner; Checking Scanner Status - Microtek ScanMaker 4 User Manual

5. Connecting the scanner

Before connecting the scanner to your computer,
make sure the scanner driver (ScanWizard) is
installed. Take the following steps to connect.
1. Shut down your computer.
2. Connect the card and the scanner; using the
SCSI cable that provided in the scanner package.
Make sure your scanner and computer are
turned off when you perform the connection.

3. Plug the power cord to the power connector at
the back panel of the scanner, and plug the
other end of the power cord to your AC power
source at wall outlet.
4. Turn on your scanner and wait for all the light
on the front panel to stop blinking.
5. Then power up your computer.
Terminator
You will definitely need a terminator if you are
hooking up your
computer on a
daisy chain with
two or more
SCSI devices
through the SCSI
interface card.

6. Checking scanner status

When running Windows, ALWAYS turn on the
scanner before the computer. If you don't, Windows
will not be able to "see" your scanner.
1. Click Start, Settings, and select Control Panel.
2. Double-click on the System icon in Control
Panel and select Device Manager from the top.
3. The screen that appears displays the message
"Microtek Scanners". Double-click it, the
scanner model you connected shows under it.
If your system can't find your scanner, maybe SCSI
conflict happens between your scanner and other
SCSI device. To resolve the conflict, refer to
Troubleshooting for Windows 95/98 on page 6.
Take note that in a daisy-chain connection,
different drivers come into play and complicated
configurations may result. If you are not
familiar with the procedure for daisy
chaining, consult a technician on how to
do this. Microtek bears no responsibility
for damages that may occur to
peripherals due to inexperienced
handling.
