Power Up/Power Down

Once you have connected the scanner to both an AC power source and the host, you are
ready to power up (turn on) the scanner. The following two subsections explain how to
turn on the scanner and how to turn it off once you have finished using it.

5.1.1 Turning the Scanner On

NOTE:
If you have a SCSI scanner, you must turn it on before you turn on the host.
CAUTION:
Never connect or disconnect the data cable from the rear panel of the scanner while
power is being applied to the scanner or to the workstation. Doing so may damage the
scanner.
Take the following steps to turn on the scanner.
1. Make sure the AC power cord and the host interface cable at the rear of the scanner
are properly connected.
2. Make sure the transport is closed securely.
3. Press the power switch on the scanner's rear panel. When power is applied, the
scanner goes through a short initialization sequence while it displays short messages.
The scanner flashes the following messages:
