Installing and troubleshooting 7
'
Windows: During the software installation, you or the installation software chose an
interface connection. For USB use the following instructions. For parallel, skip to “If
you are using parallel.”
For USB: Connect the USB cable between the USB port on the scanner and the
USB port on the computer.
If you are using parallel:
a Shut down the computer. If you do NOT have a printer, skip to step c.
b Disconnect the printer parallel cable from your computer and connect it to
the parallel port on the scanner (printer icon).
c Connect your computer to the remaining parallel port on the scanner
(computer icon) using a parallel cable.
Do NOT connect the USB cable.
Note: If your scanner did not come with a parallel cable and you need to use a
parallel connection (you don't have USB), see the read me file for
information on how to purchase the correct parallel cable (HP part
number C9874A).
