If you are having trouble with SCSI, see "Checking the SCSI connection" on page 11. Checking the USB connection This scanner can be connected to the computer using USB if these requirements can be met: q q q The computer has a USB connector on the back (see below). The computer is running Microsoft Windows 98, 2000, or Me. In some older computers, it is disabled. See the documentation that came with the computer.
