Connecting The Scanner To Your Computer; Understanding Scsi Connections - Epson GT-5500 User Manual

Connecting the Scanner to Your Computer

For PC users:
If your PC does not have a SCSI board installed, you need to
install one according to the directions that come with the SCSI
board. If your PC already has a SCSI board, connect the scanner
as described in the next section.
Note:
If you use Windows 95 or NT, install the SCSI driver included in
Windows 95 or NT (see your system documentation for instructions)
or the driver described in the SCSI board installation documentation.
If you use Windows 3.1, install the driver packed with the SCSI
board, as described in the SCSI board installation documentation.
For Macintosh users:
All Macintosh computers have SCSI ports; you do not need to
install a SCSI board in a Macintosh. Follow the directions below
to connect your scanner and computer.

Understanding SCSI connections

Read the following sections to help determine how to set up
your SCSI device(s) and if you need any optional SCSI cables.
Daisy Chain
The SCSI interface allows you to connect up to seven devices
(such as scanner, hard disk, CD-ROM, and so on) to the
computer, in what is called a "daisy chain" arrangement. Only
the first SCSI device in a daisy chain is connected to the
computer; each of the other devices is connected to another
SCSI device.
