SCSI support with Win95/98/ME/NT/2000 & XP
--------------------------------------------
If you are experiencing problems using SCSI, make
sure that the following items are in place:
1.) Your system should be equipped with an Adaptec 2940,2906,2930
19160,29160N SCSI host adapter.
2.) ASPI drivers must be installed. These drivers may be
obtained from http://www.adaptec.com
3.) Slow the maxium transfer Rate to 10Mbit per second. Using your
documentation from Adaptec enter the SCSI card BIOS at start-up
<Ctrl-A> and adjust the SCSI channel being used for the printer
to 10 Mbit.
-------------------------------
SCSI printer not showing up
in the selection dialog box
-------------------------------
Check the Host Adapter selection in the lower right corner of
the selection dialog box. If other adapter numbers are present,
try using one of them.
If the printer still does not show up on SCSI, turn off the
printer and the PC, and then turn on the printer first. After the
printer displays "READY" on its front panel, turn on the PC.
---------------------------------------------------------
Select Printer dialog: All SCSI addresses display the
same printer information
---------------------------------------------------------
