IX-4015 ASPI Installation Instructions The Canon IX-4015 can now be connected to existing ASPI compliant Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) cards. In order to do this you must setup your existing hardware to recognize your scanner connection and you must install the compatible software drivers for these interfaces. Before proceeding with the installation make sure you have the following: * Installation instructions for your ASPI card (from your card manufacture) * SI4A.SYS file (ASPI compatible scanner driver) * CANONSI.PXW (ASPI driver for OFOTO and the IX-4015) **Notes on SCSI devices If you will be chaining SCSI devices make sure your total length of the chain is no longer than 20 feet. * SCSI terminators are an integral part of the SCSI chain because it enable the signals to understand where the end of the SCSI chain is. Only the first and the last devices in your SCSI chain should be terminated * Set your SCSI ID on the rear of the scanner. All SCSI devices on a chain have a unique SCSI ID number. Make sure that the number you choose for the IX-4015 does not conflict with any other SCSI device. * Try not to use 0,1 or 7 as SCSI ID (address) numbers for the scanner. Typically these are reserved by hard drives or the internal SCSI card. Installing your Scanner: There are three ways you can have the IX-4015 connected to your ASPI compatible SCSI card: * As the only external SCSI device * Connected into the middle of a SCSI chain * Connected at the end of a SCSI chain Please refer to the installation instructions that involve your setup. Installing the IX-4015 as the Only External SCSI Device * Turn off your PC * Before you connect your scanner you must disable the terminators on the internal card. Please refer to your documentation from your SCSI card manufacturer in order to do this. * Once you have disabled the terminators, connect the scanner, with your scanner cable, to the internal card. * Since the scanner will be the only external SCSI device, make sure the SCSI terminator is attached to your SCSI cable. * Refer to the Software Installation section for further instructions. Installing the IX-4015 in the Middle of a SCSI Chain * Turn off your PC * Turn off any other SCSI devices * Disconnect the attached SCSI device that you want after the IX-4015. * Attach the scanner to the original device SCSI device or card. Make sure to remove the terminator from the cable before attaching the scanner. * Connect the device, that you removed previously, to the IX-4015. * Connect all power cords and turn on the PC and all SCSI devices. * Refer to the Software Installation section for further instructions. Installing the IX-4015 to the End of a SCSI Chain * Turn off your PC * Turn off any SCSI devices that are attached to your PC. * Remove or disable any terminators that are attached to the last SCSI device in the chain. * Attach the IX-4015, with its SCSI cables, to the last device in the chain. Since the IX-4015 is the last device in the chain be sure to attach the terminator to the IX-4015 SCSI cable. * Connect all power cords, turn on the PC and all SCSI devices. * Refer to the Software Installation section for further instructions. Software Installation ** Software Notes: Before installing the Canon software you must install the ASPI Manager software provided with your ASPI SCSI interface card. Refer to your card manufacturer installation instructions if you have not yet installed the ASPI manager. Install the OFOTO software and twain driver software onto your PC. Please refer to your OFOTO and/or Canon IX-4015 documentation for installation instructions. After installing the Twain driver and the OFOTO software you must install the IX-4015 ASPI compatible drivers. Installing the ASPI Driver * If you are within Windows, close Windows and exit to the DOS prompt. * Insert the disk that contains the SI4A.SYS driver and copy it to the root directory of your hard drive. If the diskette is in your "A" drive and your root directory is C:\, type: COPY A:\SI4A.SYS C:\ * Use your DOS EDIT program to edit your CONFIG.SYS file. If your CONFIG.SYS file is on your "C" drive, type: EDIT CONFIG.SYS * Delete or remove all lines that have reference to the SI4.SYS file, for example, delete the following lines if they exist: DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\TWAIN\IX4015\SI4.SYS DEVICE=C:\OFOTO\SI4.SYS * At the last line of your CONFIG.SYS add the line: DEVICE=C:\SI4A.SYS * Exit and save your file. * Reboot your computer. If you will be using the OFOTO software program with the ASPI SCSI card you must copy the new OFOTO Canon driver file into the existing OFOTO directory. Installing the OFOTO IX-4015 ASPI Driver * If you are within Windows, close Windows and exit to the DOS prompt. * At the DOS prompt copy the CANONSI.PXW file into the OFOTO2 sub directory. (OFOTO automatically installs its files into the OFOTO2 sub directory. Please make any modifications if you have changed the default directory of OFOTO) If the Canon driver is in the "A" drive, type: COPY A:\CANONSI.PXW C:\OFOTO2 * Reboot your computer.Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
