Connecting The Scanner To Your Computer; Using The Firewire Cable - Microtek ScanMaker i900 Installing And Getting Started

Connecting the Scanner to Your Computer

The ScanMaker i900 comes with both FireWire and Hi-Speed USB built-in
interfaces. You may choose either FireWire (IEEE-1394) or Hi-Speed USB as the
interface for connection between the scanner and computer. (You can use only one
interface at a time.)

Using the FireWire Cable

Check first to see if your computer system is FireWire-ready. For Macintosh users,
make sure your Macintosh is equipped with a built-in FireWire port. For PC users,
install the FireWire card first (provided with your scanner package) before
connecting the scanner and your PC. For more details on how to install the FireWire
card, refer to the documentation that come with your scanner package or your
purchased FireWire card.
Follow the steps below to perform the FireWire connection.
1. Plug the power cord into the back of the scanner, and plug the other end into a
power source (power surge protector highly recommended).
2. Connect one end of the FireWire cable to your computer, and connect the other
end of the cable to the scanner's FireWire port.
