1.1 General
1.2 Device Configuration
1.1 GeneralScan Partner 300C image scanners produce excellent electronic images from
documents using the high quality optical image scanning technology and
output to the host system via SCSI interface.
On the standard flat-bed, the Scan Partner 300C can scan a single loose page
or a single page of a bound book. The standard flat-bed can accommodate a
letter size/A4 page. The Scan Partner has an automatic document feeder
(ADF) that can accommodate up to 50 pages.
The Scan Partner outputs data on the Small Computer System Interface
(SCSI). Figure 1.1 is the functional block diagram.

3.1 Removing the Shipping Bracket
The scanner has a bracket that fixes the position of the carrier unit during transportation. The bracket must be
removed from the base of the scanner.
If the power is turned on before the bracket has been removed, the Alarm lamp turns on. Before proceeding, turn
off the power, disconnect the power cable, and remove the bracket.
CAUTION
Do not turn the scanner upside down when removing the bracket.

The power switch is on the right side of the image scanner (See Figure 3.1)
Turn the power switch to the “I” side, the power LED on the indication panel will light on.
Turn the power switch to the “O” side, the power LED on the indication panel will go out.

The devices linked to the SCSI interface are daisy-chained with one another. A terminator is attached to the ends
of the interface cable. User can buy the SCSI cable in computer stores. The specifications of the SCSI cable is as
shown below.
Name: SCSI Cable
Cable Specification 50 pins to 25 or 50 pins, shielded Amphenol
Cable Length: Less than or equal to 6 meters.
3.4.1 SCSI Cable Connection
There are two configurations for the connection.
Configuration I: The number of devices attached to the SCSI bus (including the host PC) is three. The scanner is
located in the middle of the connection, as shown below.
Terminator Terminator
1. Set scanner’s SCSI terminator switch off.
2. Plug one end of the SCSI cable into the SCSI connector of the host PC, and the other end of
the cable to the scanner.
3. Plug one end of the SCSI cable into the SCSI connector of the third device, and the other end of
the cable to the other scanner.

Configuration II: the number of devices attached to the SCSI bus (including the host PC) is three. The scanner is
located at the end of the connection, as shown below.
Terminator
If there is already another device linked to the host via SCSI cable, remove the terminator from that device. If the
terminator can not be removed, it is recommended that the connection of Configuration I be used.
1. Set scanner’s SCSI terminator switch on
2. Plug one end of the SCSI cable to one female connector of the previous device or the host.
SCSI specifications require that:
1. Only one terminator may be attached to each end of the daisy chain.
2. The total length of the daisy chain must not exceed 6 meters. The vendor suggests that the SCSI cable be two or
three meters in length to allow other devices to be attached to the SCSI bus.
3. Each device on the chain will be assigned a different ID. Devices with the same SCSI ID will cause them to
malfunction.
4. There is no restriction on the position of the devices on the daisy chain.

3.6 Document Setting Method
3.6.1 Flatbed
Figure 3-6Flatbed reading
3.6.1.1 When the document size is of letter/A4 size or smaller
If the document is to be read on the flat-bed, following the steps below.
1. Open the document cover.
2. Put the document on the document glass with the image face down with the upper end to the left. Correct any curls
or folded documents.
3. Position the left side and upper end of the document in line with the reference frame so that the upper-left comer of
the document coincides with the upper-left of the reference frame.
If the document is not set correctly, reading is not done correctly.
4. Close the document cover slowly.
If the document cover is closed too quickly, the document may be moved. During reading, do not press or open the
document cover.
5. Start the reading.
6. After reading ends, open the document cover and remove the document.
