1.3 Connecting the Scanner
CAUTION: Before connecting the scanner, make sure the
power to the computer is OFF
This section describes how to connect your new ScanPartner
600C. Also provided is a brief overview on daisy chaining and
terminating SCSI devices. If you are an advanced user and are
already familiar with the use of SCSI devices, you can skip the
overview.
SCSI Overview
One of the biggest advantages to using SCSI as an interface is
the ability to connect several devices to one SCSI controller or
“SCSI port.”
Each SCSI controller can have up to 7 devices connected to it.
This is referred to as daisy chaining or chaining. A SCSI chain
can consist of internal devices, such as hard disks and CD
ROM drives, and external devices, such as the ScanPartner
600C. Not all SCSI controllers are capable of handling a
combination of internal and external devices but most are.
The key factor when chaining SCSI devices is the device ID.
Each device must have a unique ID. The SCSI controller itself
must have an ID and, in most cases, is 7. This leaves 0-6
available for use as device ID’s. Although it is not reserved,
device ID 0 is generally used for SCSI hard disks. It is not
recommended that you use ID 0 for an external device.
Most SCSI devices provide a method for the user to set the
device ID. This can be done via software or with a switch. In
some case the operating system may decide which ID to apply
to a device.
One other key factor to a SCSI daisy chain is that each end of
the chain must be terminated. Termination can be done many
ways but the most common method is to apply a SCSI

1-7
terminator connector. The purpose of the terminator is to tell
the controller that there are no more devices on the chain and
that it should not look beyond this device for another device.
Most (but not all) SCSI devices are equipped with 2 SCSI
connectors: one for the connection cable and one to chain or
terminate. Regardless of the methods used, each end of the
chain must be terminated.
In most cases, the controller itself provides termination at one
end of the chain. Termination at the other end must be
provided by the last device on the chain.
Figure 1-5 shows a typical SCSI chain.
Installing the SCSI Controller
For information on installing the SCSI controller, follow the
instructions provided with the controller.
Setting the SCSI 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 1-6)
Note: The factory setting for ScanPartner 600C is ID 6. Usually,
ID 0 is assigned to an internal hard disk drive, and ID 7 is
assigned to the SCSI host adapter. ID 8 and 9 are not used.

Connecting the Scanner
See Figure 1-7 for a connection diagram.
1. Connect one end of the SCSI cable to the SCSI controller
installed in the computer
2. Connect the other end of the SCSI cable to SCSI port
located on the back of the scanner
3. Connect the power cable to the power input port located on
the back of the scanner
Plug the power cord into the power source.

Terminating the Scanner
As with any SCSI device, the ScanPartner 600C must be
properly terminated before use. The ScanPartner 600C uses a
terminator switch located on the back of the scanner, therefore
a SCSI terminator is not required.
If the ScanPartner 600C is the last device on the SCSI chain
then the terminator switch must be set to the ON position, see
Figure 1-8. If the ScanPartner 600C is not the last device on
the SCSI chain, the terminator switch must be set to the OFF
position.
Figure 1-8 SCSI Termination Switch

Turning on the Power
The power is controlled by a toggle switch on the side of the
scanner. To turn on the scanner, press the switch toward "1."
The POWER LED will light. If it does not light , please check
the power.
Scanner Diagnostics
The scanner has a built-in self-diagnostic function to detect
system errors. The self test is initiated each time the scanner is
turned on. During the test, the ERROR LED will light on. At
the end of the test, if no error occurs, the ERROR LED should
extinguish.

2. Scanner Operation
2.1 Using the Flatbed
To use the flatbed, open the document cover and place the document
face down on the glass document board. Make sure the corner of the
document is placed against the reference mark
Figure 2-1 Using the flatbed

2-13
2.2 Using the ADF
The ScanPartner 600C comes equipped with ADF capable of
holding up to 50 sheets of standard copier paper. The actual
number of documents may vary depending on the types of paper
being scanned.
The ScanPartner 600C ADF feeds one document at a time.
Before using the ADF, always prepare you documents by:
• removing any staples, paper clips, or any other item
used to attach more than one sheet of paper
• fan the paper stack to remove friction between pages
• ensure that stack has a flush leading edge
To use the ADF:
• adjust the document guides to the width of the
documents to be scanned
• place the documents head first and face down into the
ADF
The following list shows items and paper types that should not
be fed through the ADF
• Paper with clip or staple attached;
• Paper with ink not totally dry;
• Paper with inconsistent thickness, such as
envelopes;
• Paper with wrinkles, curls, folds or tears;
• Tracing paper;
• Coated paper;
• Carbonless paper;
• Paper narrower than 3.5" or wider than 8.5";
• Items other than papers, such as cloth, metal or

2-14
OHP film;
• Notched paper
• Paper with an odd (non-rectangular) shape;
• Very thin paper.

3. Maintenance
Your scanner is designed to be maintenance free. However, to
ensure peak performance and optimum image quality, the
scanner must be cleaned occasionally.
The feed mechanism of the scanner may become contaminated
with ink, toner particles or paper coatings which may result in
feed problems, such as:
• Documents do not feed smoothly or easily or
• Several documents feed at one time.
If you experience these problems then it is recommended that
you clean the ADF as described below.
3.1 Cleaning the ADF
Use the following procedure when cleaning your scanner (see
Figure 3-1):
1. Dip a cotton swab in isopropyl alcohol. (95%)
2. Open the ADF unit and wipe the upper feeding roller
by moving the swab from side to side. Rotate the
roller forward with your finger and repeat the above
cleaning procedures until the entire roller is cleaned.
Be careful not to snag or damage the pick springs.
3. Wipe the pad in the direction from top to bottom. Be
careful not to hook the pick springs.
4. Allow to dry
5. Close the ADF unit.
