C. Connecting Cables
CanoScan 9900F needs to be connected to the USB port on the host computer. For details,
refer to the “Quick Start Guide” that comes with the product. As for connecting the host
computer’s cables to the scanner, refer to the host computer' manual.
Note: Install the device driver before connecting the cables.
1. Connecting FAU Cable, USB Cable, IEEE 1394 Cable and AC Adapter Cable
1) Connect the FAU cable to the FAU connector.
2) Connect the scanner with the host compter by either USB Cable or IEEE1394 Cable.
Note: IEEE1394 Cable is not included. Use recommended cables.
3) Connect the AC adapter cable to the power connector on the scanner.

B. Electrical Syste
1. Outline
Figure 2-2 is an electric system circuit diagram.
The scanner is not equipped with CPU. The device driver with a control program installed in
the host computer functions as CPU. The host computer sends a command to the SIC via
the USB controller or IEEE 1394 controller. The SIC controls the whole electrical circuits
and image processing of the scanner. The image signals read by the CCD are converted into
digital data by analog IC. The digital data is then processed by the SIC and is output to the
host computer via USB interface.
