6 ScanMaker i800 Supplement
Connecting to the FireWire Port
The printed Start Here guide showed you how to connect your computer to the USB
port of the ScanMaker i800. Here, the Supplement shows you how to connect the
computer to the scanner's alternate FireWire port.
Prior to connection, check first to see if your computer system has a FireWire port. If
FireWire is present, connect the FireWire cable to the FireWire port. If your computer
does not have a FireWire port, install a FireWire card to make use of the FireWire port.
For details on how to install a FireWire card in your computer, refer to the
documentation that came with the FireWire card.
Note: Your ScanMaker i800 does not include a FireWire card in the package.
Follow the steps below to perform the FireWire connection:
1. Connect one end of the FireWire cable to your computer, and connect the other
end of the cable to the scanner’s FireWire port.
