B. Computer connections
The ScanMaker i700 comes with FireWire (IEEE 1394) and Hi-Speed USB interfaces
built-in. You may choose either FireWire or Hi-Speed USB as the interface for
connection between the scanner and computer. (You can use only one interface at a time.)
Using the FireWire Cable
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
more details on how to install a FireWire card in your computer, refer to the
documentation that came with your purchased FireWire card.
Follow the steps below to perform the FireWire connection.
