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 AND
SYNC
The scanner is equipped with a built-in terminator
switch on the rear of the scanner. (See Figure 2-2/2-

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.
The scanner is also equipped with a built-in SYNC
switch on the rear of the scanner. (See Figure 2-2) .The
factory default setting is ON. Turn the SYNC switch off if
the SCSI card connected to your computer is not
compatible with AV8000S or your computer can not find
the AV8000S.
