Connecting To An Ieee 1394 Firewire Interface - Epson Expression 1600 User Manual

Connecting to an IEEE 1394 FireWire Interface

If you have the Professional FireWire model of the Expression 1600, or if you've
purchased the optional IEEE 1394 FireWire scanner interface card, you can connect
the scanner to your Macintosh using an IEEE 1394 FireWire interface. Your
Macintosh must have a built-in IEEE 1394 FireWire port or an IEEE 1394 FireWire
PCI card.
See "IEEE 1394 FireWire Scanner Interface Card" on
page 106 for information about system requirements and
instructions on installing the card. See page 93 for information
about ordering the card.
The IEEE 1394 FireWire scanner interface card has two cable connectors. You can
use either one to connect the scanner directly to your computer. At the same time,
you can use the second connector to connect other IEEE 1394 FireWire devices in a
daisy chain or tree configuration. You can also connect the scanner to another IEEE
1394 FireWire device so that it's the last IEEE 1394 FireWire device in a chain
connected to your computer.
Neither your scanner nor your computer has to be off when you connect the cable.
However, be careful not to connect or disconnect the cable when the scanner is in use.
Follow these steps to connect the scanner:
1. Locate the cable that came with the card.
Connect one end of the cable to the
IEEE 1394 FireWire port on the card.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the
IEEE 1394 FireWire port on your computer
or on another IEEE 1394 FireWire device.

Software" on page 47.
