appendix A – SCSI setup and options
7
This section describes how to set up the HP Scanjet 8200 series scanner with a
Small Computer Serial Interface (SCSI).
why use SCSI?
If your computer uses Windows NT, the scanner must be attached with SCSI. If
your computer already has SCSI devices attached, you can attach the scanner
to an existing external SCSI string. The scanner must be the last device in the SCSI
string and the computer must have a compatible SCSI adapter. The scanner also
must have a SCSI module.
For a list of compatible SCSI adapter cards, see compatible SCSI cards on
page 29.
install the software
HP recommends that you install the software first.
Note: For Windows NT, users must install the HP Precisionscan Pro
software.
