3.5 Connection through the FireWire interface

To connect through FireWire, you will need the FireWire cable that
came with your scanner and your computer must be enabled for
FireWire through a FireWire card and port. FireWire is not supported
on Windows NT.
3.5.1 Check your computer for FireWire
Some computers come with built in FireWire inputs. You can check if
FireWire is enabled by following these steps:
1. In Windows, Click Start, Settings, and then Control Panel.
2. Double-click the System icon.
3. Click the Device Manager tab.
If a FireWire host controller (IEEE) is listed, then FireWire is enabled
on your computer. If you do not see this device listed, you will need to
install a FireWire card.
To install a FireWire card, shutdown your computer and install the
card into an empty PCI slot. See your computer's user's manual for
installation of new hardware and the driver installation information that
came with your FireWire card to setup the device under your specific
Windows operative system.
3.5.2 Connect the scanner with the Firewire cable
1. Locate the FireWire cable that came with your scanner.
2. Connect the PC end to the FireWire port on your computer
3. Connect the peripheral end to a FireWire connection socket
on your scanner.
4. If you have not yet installed the driver through the
WIDEsystem TOOLS CD, Windows will display the "New
Hardware Found Wizard dialog box after you connect the
cable.
5. If an "Unknown device is found" message appears after you
plug in the cable, follow the steps described below under
Unknown device is found message.
