Setting The Scsi Id - Microtek ScanMaker IIG User Manual

Setting the SCSI ID

A SCSI ID is a number assigned to each SCSI device in your daisy
chain to differentiate the devices from one another.
The SCSI ID for Microtek scanners is set at default to 6. You won't
need to change the SCSI ID on your scanner unless another SCSI
device on your system (such as a tape drive or CD-ROM drive) is
using the same number.
If you are connecting the scanner to the Adaptec AVA-1502E
interface card that was supplied with your scanner, you don't need
to change the SCSI ID; simply go to the next section. The SCSI ID
needs to be changed only in the following situations:
• If you are installing two Microtek scanners using the interface
card. In this case, the SCSI ID of one of the scanners must be
changed to avoid conflicts.
• If you are installing a third-party ASPI card with other SCSI
devices already connected to the ASPI card. In this case,
change the SCSI ID of your Microtek scanner.
To set the SCSI ID number:
• For models with a selector switch at the back:
Locate the SCSI ID selector, which is on the back panel. To
change the SCSI ID, use a small pin (or the end of a paper
clip, or a small screwdriver) and press either of the small
black openings located above or below the SCSI ID. Pressing
the upper opening increases the SCSI ID number; pressing the
lower opening decreases the number. See additional notes at
the end of this section.
• For models with a selector dial on the bottom:
Locate the SCSI ID switch, which is at the bottom or on the
back panel of the scanner. To change the SCSI ID, use a small
screwdriver, insert it into the rotary switch, and turn the
switch to the desired SCSI ID number. See additional notes at
the end of this section.
