the Computer
The SprintScan 45 Ultra requires a SCSI host adapter in your
computer. If your computer does not have an adapter, you must
install one (see page 17). If your computer is a PC-compatible
with a SCSI adapter, but the adapter is connected to a hard drive
or CD-ROM drive, installing a second adapter is recommended.

device addresses.
Set the Scanner SCSI Address
Each device connected to a SCSI host adapter must have a unique
address from 0-6. To assure a unique address for the scanner,
determine the addresses of any other SCSI devices.
Make sure the scanner is turned off and set the address switch
(b on page 7) to a value not used by any other device.
Note: The address is preset to 4. Do not change it unless another
device is using 4. Other addresses typically available are 2,
5, and 6.

Installing a SCSI Host Adapter LimitedWarranty
The SprintScan 45 Ultra connects to a SCSI host adapter in your
computer. Most Macintosh computers have a SCSI adapter built
in, but most IBM PC compatible computers do not.
Polaroid Corporation warrants the SprintScan 45 Ultra scanner
against defects in manufacture or workmanship for a period of
one year from the date of purchase. To verify the warranty period,
you should keep the invoice, sales receipt, or other proof of the
purchase date.
If you must install a SCSI adapter, turn the computer off and
follow instructions provided by the adapter manufacturer. (The
procedure usually includes software installation. If your PC uses
the Windows NT operating system, log in as an administrator
before installation.)
Should this product or any component or accessory included with
it, with the exception of software, prove to be defective at any
time during the warranty period, Polaroid Corporation will, at its
discretion, either replace or repair this item, without charge.
This warranty does not cover damage caused by accident,
incorrect installation, unauthorized modification, and misuse or
abuse. A charge will be made for repair of such damage.
This warranty excludes all consequential damages. Some
jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
consequential damages, so the foregoing exclusion may not
apply to you.
