About Scanner Connectors

USB Connectors
Many newer computers, including most PCs, the Apple iMac, and
USB capable Macintosh computers rely on USB technology as the
primary method of communication between the computer and its
peripherals. With this new USB "plug-and-play" technology, your
computer automatically configures any recently attached
peripherals (such as a mouse or a scanner) as soon as you reboot the
computer.
