Microtek 1000xl User Guide

ScanMaker 1000XL Supplement     5

The printed Start Here guide showed you how to connect your computer to the USB
port of the ScanMaker 1000XL. Here, the User Guide 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.

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.

For PC users

(with a built-in FireWire port

or FireWire card installed)

For Mac users

(with a built-in FireWire port)

The latest Macintosh

computers (i.e., G3, G4, G5,

etc.) are equipped with a built-

in FireWire port, usually

labeled with the “ ” logo.

2. Turn the Power switch on the back of the

scanner to “ On”, and wait for the lights to
stop blinking and stay on steady.

The scanner will be detected by your
system automatically.
