Unlike USB, SCSI is definitely not hot-swapable. Turn the PC off. Plug in
the SCSI cable to the scanner. Turn the scanner on BEFORE the PC. Then,
turn the PC on.

You may also need XP-specific drivers and/or XP-specific software to run the
scanner, separate from the drivers. Check the scanner manufacture's website
for drivers and software. Also, check for the genral subject of XP
compatibility. Some older hardware has zero XP support, and the
manufacturer's usually are willing to be honest about that.

the driver it came with, but the computer won't recognize the scanner. It
connects via SCSI cable. I have tried setting every SCSI ID number on the
scale (theyre settable on the scanner), and turning the scanner on before
and after the computer, but no matter what I do, I get this message:
