Environmental Requirements
Before unpacking your scanner, make sure that the location where the scanner will be
installed is large enough for easy operation.
• Make sure that the operating environment for the scanner is free of dust and other
contaminants.
• Allow adequate ventilation space (no less than 39.8" or 91.6 cm) around the
scanner.
• Place the scanner on a flat, stable surface that is not subject to vibration.
• Make sure that the scanning surface will not be exposed to direct sunlight or other
sources of bright light.
• Avoid placing the scanner close to sources of extreme cold or heat.
• Avoid connecting the scanner to a power source that might experience power
surges.
• Avoid positioning the scanner in the path of heavy traffic where it may get
bumped.
• Place the scanner within 3 feet of the computer. Use the FireWire cable or the SCSI
cable that came with your scanner.
Once the scanner has been placed in a suitable location and is ready to be connected
to the host computer, it is time to proceed with installation of the necessary hardware
and software components for the scanner.
