Newer computers (both PC and Macintosh) may rely on
FireWire/IEEE-1394 technology as a method of communication
between the computer and its peripherals.

To connect your scanner to your computer, f7irst locate the
FireWire/IEEE-1394 connection on your computer.

•

 A FireWire/IEEE-1394 port is a small slot approximately ½”

long and ¼” tall.

•

 Next to the FireWire/1394 port on a Macintosh computer, you

should find the FireWire/1394 symbol 

NOTE: Proper scanner hardware installation depends on installing
the software first. If you have not installed the software that came
bundled with the scanner, refer to Installing the Software earlier in
this chapter for instructions.

1. Make sure computer’s power is turned off. Remove the case

according to the system manual’s directions.

2. Insert the FireWire/1394 card in an empty PCI slot.  Gently but

firmly push it down until it is seated in the PCI slot.

3. Screw the bracket to the chassis to secure the card. Replace the

computer’s case and turn on the power.

4. Windows 98 SE/2000 will now detect the addition of the new

hardware and ask to search for a driver. Select Next.

5. Windows will ask, “What do you want Windows to do?” Click

on the option “Search for best driver for your device”. Select
Next.
