Setting Up Your Scanner
7
Connect the Scanner to Your Computer
Make sure your computer meets the system requirements listed on page 57 or 58. If
you are connecting to a PC, Windows
®
must be factory preinstalled on your system
and a built-in USB port must be available.
1. Locate the USB cable that came with your scanner.
2. Plug the square connector on the USB cable into the USB connector
on the back of the scanner. Then plug the flat connector into the USB
port on your computer or USB hub.
Your system may not work correctly if you use a USB cable other than the
one supplied by EPSON or if you connect your scanner through more than
one hub.
For Macintosh
®
users: If you connect the scanner before installing the
software, a message appears telling you that the scanner driver needs to
be installed (Mac OS
®
8.X), or a message appears to prompt you to
download the scanner driver from the Internet (Mac OS 9). When this
happens, click OK (Mac OS 8.X) or Cancel (Mac OS 9) and insert the
EPSON Scanner Software CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive. Then follow the
instructions in “If You’re Using a Macintosh . . .” on page 18 to install the
scanner software.
