Before you can use your scanner with your computer, you need to install the IEEE 1394 interface 
card into your PC. 
 
To install the card into one of the computer’s expansion slots, observe the following procedures: 
 
Note:    The interface card is sensitive to static electricity.  Handle the card by its mounting bracket, 

particularly when removing the card from its anti-static packaging. 

 

Turn the computer power off and unplug the power cord. 

 

Remove the housing cover of the computer.  Follow the instructions provided in your PC’ 
reference manual. 

 

Remove the metal cover corresponding to your chosen slot.  Keep the removed screw so that it 
can be used to fasten the interface card. 

 

Gently insert the interface card into the slot until it is firmly seated in the slot.
