■ Connecting via SCSI
When connecting the scanner to a computer using a SCSI card,
use the following SCSI cards and cables.
• SCSI card
Use one of the following recommended SCSI cards:
Adaptec SCSI card (for PCI bus)
• AHA-2930U
• AHA-2940AU
• ASC-19160
• ASC-29160
When installing a SCSI card on your computer, follow the direc-
tions in both the manual for the SCSI card and the computer.
• SCSI cable
• The SCSI connector on the scanner is a half-pitch 50-pin con-
nector (pin-type). No SCSI cable is supplied with the scanner.
To connect the scanner to a computer, obtain a SCSI cable
with the correct connectors for the scanner and the SCSI card
installed in the computer.
• The maximum length of SCSI cables are defined by the SCSI
standard. For details, see the user manual for your SCSI card.
• Only one SCSI port can be used on the scanner
and terminator setting is fixed to ON.
You cannot daisy chain multiple MS300II scanners.
• The SCSI ID for the scanner can be set from ID0 to
ID5. By default, the SCSI ID for the scanner is set to
SCSI ID=2. When changing the SCSI ID setting,
make sure to contact an authorized Canon dealer
or service professional.
• When daisy chaining the scanner with the other SCSI
devices, note the following:
• Change the ID of the other SCSI devices so they
do not to overlap.
• Make sure that the scanner is at the end of the
chain and the terminate setting of the other de-
vices is OFF.
