When the software installer screen appears, click each software program on the screen to install all the software components. Doubleclick the "Install" icon on each folder to install the programs one at a time. To install ScanWizard Pro TX on Mac OS X, double-click "ScanWizard Pro TX" to mount the ScanWizard Pro TX installer on the desktop, then double-click the ScanWizard Pro TX "mpkg" icon in its folder.

ArtixScan 120tf Installation and Operation Manual 5 Connecting the Scanner to Your Computer The ArtixScan 120tf comes with both FireWire and SCSI-2 built-in interfaces. You may choose either FireWire (IEEE-1394) or SCSI as the interface for connection between the scanner and computer. (Choose only one interface ­ either FireWire or SCSI, but not both.) Using the FireWire Cable Before connecting the scanner, check to see if your computer system is FireWireready. FireWire-ready means you can connect the scanner to your computer using the provided FireWire cable. System is FireWire-ready · · For Macintosh users, your computer should be equipped with a built-in FireWire port, designated with the FireWire symbol " ". For PC users, the FireWire card should be installed and should work properly in your computer. System is Not FireWire-ready If your system is not FireWire-ready, you will need to install a FireWire card. For more details on how to install the FireWire card, please refer to the "FireWire Installation Guide" on a separate documentation included with your scanner package. Alternatively, you can use the SCSI interface to connect your scanner. For FireWire-ready Systems: 1. Connect the power cord to your scanner.
