Installing the Hardware

After you have removed the scanner from the box and verified that all of the package contents have been

included, please check to make sure that your computer is compatible with the scanner’s connectors.

About Scanner Connectors

USB Connectors

Newer computers (both PC and Macintosh) rely on USB technology as the primary method of

communication between the computer and its peripherals. With this new USB “plug-and-play” technology

your computer automatically configures peripherals. If your computer has a USB port, you must make sure

that this port is enabled in the system BIOS. Please refer to the troubleshooting section to learn more about

enabling the USB port.

SCSI Connectors

Some Macintosh computers ship with built-in SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) connectors. SCSI

connectors provide fast data transmission, plus they give you the ability to connect up to seven peripheral

devices to your computer using just one SCSI port. PC computer users can install a SCSI interface card to

provide SCSI support.

Note: Refer to the installation instructions that came with the SCSI card for information about installing

the board.

Checking Your Computer’s Connectors

To use your scanner you need to understand what type of connectors you have on your computer. To

determine the connector type, look at the back panel of your computer:

• A USB port is a small slot ½” long and ¼” wide.

NOTE: If your computer has a USB port, check to make sure that your computer’s operating system

supports USB. The following factory-installed operating systems support USB: Microsoft Windows 95

OSR2, 98 or higher, and Mac OS 8.1.

• A SCSI port is a 25-pin connector.

Setting Up – General Information

Find a suitable location near your computer to place the scanner.

NOTE: Proper scanner hardware installation depends on installing the software first. If you have not

installed the software that came bundled with the scanner, refer to Installing the Software earlier in this

chapter for instructions.

CAUTION: Make sure that surface is flat. Operating your scanner on an uneven surface can damage the

internal components.

Connecting the Cables

If your computer has a USB port, follow the instructions in the Connecting the USB Cable section to

connect the scanner to your computer.

If your computer has a SCSI port, follow the instructions in the Connecting the SCSI Cable section to

connect the scanner to your computer.

Connecting the USB Cable

The instructions for connecting the USB cable are different for PC and Macintosh users. Refer to the

section below that applies to your computer type.

PC Connection

1. Locate the USB cable that is provided. Plug the rectangular connector end of this cable firmly into the

USB port on the back of the computer.

2. Plug the square connector end of this cable into the port located on the back panel of the scanner.

Macintosh Connection

1. Locate the USB cable that is provided. Plug the rectangular end of the cable firmly into one of the

USB ports. IMac computer ports are located on the right side of the computer. The USB port on other

Macintosh computers is located on the back panel of the computer, or on a USB interface card.

2. Plug the square connector end of this cable into the port located on the back panel of the scanner.

Connecting the SCSI Cable

The instructions for connecting the SCSI cable are different for PC and Macintosh users. Refer to the

section below that applies to your computer type.

PC Connection

1. Power off the computer and the scanner.

2. Connect the SCSI cable to the interface card installed in your computer.

NOTE: If you do not already have your SCSI interface card installed in your computer, install it

now. Refer to the installation instructions that came with your SCSI card for information about

installing the board.

3. Attach the other end of the SCSI cable into the connection at the back of the scanner marked SCSI.

Macintosh Connection

1. Power off the computer and the scanner.

2. Connect the SCSI cable to your Macintosh SCSI port.

3. Attach the other end of the SCSI cable into the first SCSI connector on the backside of the scanner

(closest to the left side of the scanner).

NOTE: If your scanner is not chained to other SCSI devices, connect the Terminator to the remaining

SCSI port of your scanner.

Changing the SCSI Address

Changing the scanner’s SCSI address is necessary if more than one peripheral is connected to the SCSI port

and two or more of the peripherals have the same address or ID number.

To change the scanner’s SCSI address:

1. Check the other peripherals for their SCSI address or ID number. Your Astra 2200 SCSI address is

preset to 5. If no other peripherals have used 5 as a SCSI address or ID number – you are done. If

another peripheral’s address is 5, proceed to the next step.

2. Unplug the scanner from its power source.

3. Gently turn the dial located on the back of the scanner, on the right-hand side, until an unused number

appears.

NOTE: SCSI ID numbers 0 and 7 are used by the computer and by the hard drive. SCSI ID numbers 8

and 9 are settings for factory-use only and could cause damage to the scanner if used as a SCSI address for

a peripheral.

Connecting the UTC (Universal Transparency Cover) Cable

1. Locate the UTC cable connected to the back end of the UTC cover.

2. Plug the UTC cable connector into the round three-pin DIN connector on the scanner’s back panel.

Connecting the Power Adapter

1. Plug the scanner’s power adapter into an electrical outlet.

2. Insert the other end of this cable into the power adapter receptacle on the rear panel of the scanner.

The power indicator on the front panel of the scanner should now be illuminated.

3. Turn your computer on.
