Initialization; Connecting The Scanner To Your Computer - Epson Expression 636 User Manual

Initialization

By observing the scanner's initialization, you can make sure the
scanner is operating properly before you connect it to your
computer.
1. Open the document cover so you can see the operation of
the scanner during initialization.
2. Turn on the scanner by pressing the OPERATE button.
While the scanner is initializing, the fluorescent lamp on the
carriage flashes. If the carriage is not at the home position (the
rear of the scanner), it moves to the home position.
When the scanner has completed its initialization, the READY
light comes on. If the scanner does not work as described, turn
it off. Make sure that the power cord is firmly plugged in and
that the transportation lock lever is in the UNLOCK position.
Then turn on the scanner and check its operation again.

Connecting the Scanner to Your Computer

Your scanner has both a bidirectional parallel interface and a
SCSI interface. Cables can be connected to both interfaces at the
same time. The scanner automatically switches to the
appropriate interface.
Install a bidirectional parallel interface board in your
computer, if necessary. Then connect the computer to the
scanner's bidirectional interface as described in the next
section.
