2. INSTALLATION
Please unpack the scanner carefully, and check
the contents against the checklist. If any items
are missing or damaged, please contact your
authorized local dealer immediately.
Precautions
•Keep the scanner out of direct sunlight.
Direct exposure to the sun or excessive
heat may cause damage to the unit.
•Do not install the scanner in a humid or dusty
place.
•Use only the AC adapter (SA60-24 made
by Sino-American, Inc.) included with the
machine. Using other AC adapters may
damage the machine and void the warranty.
•Place the scanner securely on an even, flat
surface. Tilted or uneven surfaces may cause
mechanical or paper-feeding problems.
•Retain the scanner box and packing materials
for shipping purposes.
2.1 SHIPPING SWITCH

carrier mechanism for transportation purposes.
This switch must be unlocked before using the
scanner.
Before proceeding, turn the power off, disconnect
all cables and follow the instructions below to
unlock the shipping switch.

2.2 SCSI INTERFACE DEVICE ID
When you have several devices on a SCSI chain,
you may need to adjust the SCSI ID selector
setting located on the back of the scanner. This
setting assigns a specific "device ID" to the
scanner. If the assignment conflicts with an
existing SCSI device, please select a new ID. (See
Figure 2-2)
Note: The factory setting for scanner is ID 6.
Usually, ID 0 is assigned to an internal hard disk
drive, and ID 7, ID 8 ,and ID 9 are not in actual use.
Using a suitable tool, turn the selector switch until
the arrow points to the desired ID number.
2.3 Setting SCSI Terminator
The scanner is equipped with a built-in terminator
switch on the rear of the scanner. (See Figure 2-2).
The scanner is equipped with a built-in terminator
switch on the rear of the scanner. Turn the
terminator switch on if the scanner is to be
connected to the computer as the only or the last
SCSI device. Turn the terminator switch off if the
scanner is to be located between the computer and
the other SCSI device.
