Re: [APML] Sprintscan question

["Bert Katzung" <katzung1@attbi.com>]

Hi George:
I use my Polaroid Sprintscan 35+ with *no* external terminator --- just the
back-panel slide switch labeled "SCSI Termination" in the ON position. I
don't think you should be using any kind of terminator at the input. I have
a Centronics-type male-female terminator on my flatbed scanner and I put
that on the *output* scsi terminal of the flatbed when I'm not using the
film scanner.
Hope this helps....
Bert
