April 24, 2009, Newsletter Issue #164: Scanner Interface
Tip of the Week
As with any electronic equipment, it is good idea to make sure it is compatible with whatever you are going to attach it to. Scanners often need a USB cable to attach to the computer case. Some scanners can attach using FireWire, SCSI, or a parallel port. Usually older scanners will have only the ability to attach through a parallel port. Therefore, it is possible to see the different problems that can arise with an old computer without USB and a USB scanner, or a new computer with USB and an old scanner with only parallel port attachment. This is why it is necessary to check the interface before buying your new scanner.
