Setting The Id Number - GRAPHTEC CS2000 Service Manual

3.4 Setting the ID Number

The SCSI bus is designed to allow up to eight devices to be connected at the same time. As a result, a single
computer can be used to exchange data with multiple SCSI devices, including a scanner and disk drives.
Each device must be assigned an ID number (device number) to enable the devices to be distinguished on
the SCSI bus.
Using a mechanical pencil or other pointed object at the SCSI-ID switches on the scanner's rear panel, set
the scanner's ID number that corresponds to the host computer's applications.
If the host computer cannot communicate with the scanner, first check that both of the SCSI cable's
connectors are firmly inserted. Note that the host computer and scanner cannot communicate if the scanner
shares the same ID as another device or its ID does not correspond to the host computer's applications.
The ID number for the host computer is normally 7.
Turn off the scanner before setting the SCSI-ID number.
The scanner comes with the default SCSI-ID number of 2.
