3.3 Connecting the Scanner to a Computer
The scanner can be connected to a computer using the USB interface or IEEE 1394 interface.
The operation of the scanner cannot be guaranteed in the following cases:
• When the cable is connected to a USB hub or an add-on USB board.
• When you are using a custom-built computer or one that you have modified.
The following should never be attempted:
• Remove or reinsert the cable while you are installing the driver.
• Remove or reinsert the cable while starting up the computer or the scanner.
• Remove or reinsert the cable within a period of 5 seconds.
• Remove or reinsert the cable while transferring data.
• Connect two or more scanners to a single computer.
The USB and IEEE 1394 connectors cannot be used at the same time. Do not connect
both the USB and IEEE 1394 cables to a computer, or to two separate computers,
at the same time.
Connecting the scanner via a USB 2.0 interface
(1) Ensure that you have a USB 2.0 interface cable that works with your computer. Plug
the USB 2.0 interface cable into the USB connector socket situated on the right-hand
