Scsi Connection Troubleshooting; Calibrating The Scanner - Scan View SCANMATE F10 User Manual

4 • Use the supplied SCSI cable to connect the scanner to one of the other SCSI
units, so that all the units form a chain with the computer at one end.
5 • Place the terminator in the free SCSI socket of the last unit in the chain.
6 • Connect the scanner to the wall outlet.
7 • Turn on the SCSI units, including the scanner, and turn on the computer.

SCSI CONNECTION TROUBLESHOOTING

If there are problems with the computer system when more than one SCSI
unit is attached, check the following:
• All units must be turned off when cables are connected or disconnected.
• Two units must not be given the same SCSI address.
• The total length of the SCSI cables should be kept as short as possible.
As a guide, the maximum length should be approximately 1.5 meters
(5 feet).
• A terminator must be placed on the last SCSI unit in the chain. This is
especially important with a Macintosh Quadra or Power Mac.
• Some SCSI units have a built-in terminator. Such a unit must be placed
last in the SCSI chain, or the terminator must be removed by the supplier.
The ScanMate F10 is not internally terminated.
• If your SCSI units still cause difficulties, connect one unit at a time until
you find the unit that is causing the trouble.

Calibrating the scanner

Before you start to use the scanner, it must be white-point calibrated,
geometry-calibrated and focus calibrated. Please see "Scanner Calibration
and Focus Adjustment."
