before connecting the scanner to your pc, you have to install the scanner software.
a terminator and a scsi cable are supplied with your scanner.
1.for safety reasons, never use extension cables for power cords. always make sure that there are no more than two terminators in your scsi chain, one at the beginning and one at the end. some scsi devices have built-in terminators and must therefore be placed at the beginning or end of your scsi chain. please check the documentation of each of your scsi devices if you are not sure whether the device has a built-in terminator. your arcus 1200 has no built-in terminator.
2.never try to connect the scanner to the serial or parallel port of your pc: you might seriously damage your equipment if you do.
