- ASPI SCSI CARDS
- ---------------
-
- - 1502E card (Shipped with the latest Microtek scanners)
-
- Microtek now ships the Adaptec 1502E card with most scanners. You can
- identify this card by looking at the manufacturer's name (Adaptec) on the
- card. This card has jumpers on it that can be set to a number of
- I/O and interrupt addresses.
-
- An I/O is a port address. There are two settings available on the 1502E card
- which ships with your scanner. They are 140 (default) and 340. By removing or
- installing jumper position "ALT" you can configure your card to 140 or 340.
-
- An interrupt, also called an IRQ is the way your computer talks to your
- card. You must have both a free I/O address port (140 or 340) as well as
- an interrupt (or IRQ) in order for your scanner card to function properly.
- The default IRQ setting of your card is 10 but interrupts 9, 11 and 12 are
- also available on the card. Before you change the jumper to configure it for
- any of these interrupts, make sure you have an available setting you can use.
-
- As mentioned before, the default setting is 10 but by moving the jumper from
- 10 to 9, 11 or 12, you can change the interrupt to that number. If you have
- trouble communicating with your scanner, try changing this jumper to all
- possible values before calling technical support.

- inquiries since Microtek fax line is used strictly by other departments such
- as accounting and administration.) ****

-
- - Adaptec ASPI cards 2940 and 3940
-
- You can use your existing Adaptec card but you may have to change some
- configuration options before you can communicate with your scanner. With
- most Adaptec cards, you need to change the SCSI transmission speed to 5 MB per
- second. If you do not have a setting for 5, set it to 10 or the lowest
- number possible. Also, you need to turn Synchronous Negotiation to
- "Disabled" for whatever SCSI ID the scanner is set for.
-
- You can do this by pressing the CTRL-A key combination when you first turn
- your computer on and see the message; "Press <CTRL>-<A> for SCSISelect(tm)
- Utility".
- This is how you access the Adaptec setup program. Then, you can change
- different options for your interface card. You only need to change the
- above settings for the SCSI ID your scanner is set for. For
- example, if you leave the scanner at its default setting, change the Sync.
- Negotiation to disabled and the speed to 5 or 10 for SCSI ID 6 only which
- is the default SCSI ID the scanner ships at.
