n Setting the SCSI ID number
In most cases, there is no need to change the default settings (see Tables 1 
and 2 below).
However, if you have other peripheral devices connected in a SCSI chain, 
check if their ID numbers conflict with that of the printer or scanner. Be sure 
to choose an unassigned ID number.
SCSI ID number can be changed by using the scanner SCSI ID No. 
switches (#1, #2, #3) [see Table 1 below] and/or printer SCSI ID No. 
switches (#2, #3, #4) [see Table 2 below]. To set them,...
