A SCSI terminator is included with the printer. You must
obtain the proper cabling required for your configuration
from your printer dealer or distributor.
To connect the XLS 8600/XLS 8600 PS Printer directly to
your computer (or to daisy–chain the printer through an
external SCSI device), perform the following steps.
1. Turn off all equipment before connecting or
disconnecting any equipment from the SCSI bus.
2. Install the SCSI host adapter board in the computer.
3. Attach a SCSI cable appropriate to your equipment's
configuration.
If you are connecting the cable directly to the PC, use
a 50–pin submini "D" to a DB 50 cable.
If you are connecting the cable to an external disk
drive, use the cable type appropriate for the drive.
4. Attach a SCSI terminator.
NOTE: Some equipment is internally terminated. Refer to
the equipment documentation for details.
5. Turn on the printer and the computer.
6. Set the SCSI device number using the printer's
display panel.
Refer to the KODAK XLS 8600 and XLS 8600 PS
Printer, User's Guide for instructions about setting
the SCSI device number. This number typically has
to be between 1 and 6. This is because the CPU is
commonly set as SCSI device 7 and internal hard
drives are almost always configured as device 0.
7. Run the Adaptec EZ–SCSI Software install program
to install the software on your system.
