Well, mine came with a pretty informative instruction manual (English  
and Japanese) and did NOT come set to address 1.

From page 10 of the manual...

	" The computer has a SCSI ID of 7, the computer's internal hard  
disk has a SCSI ID of 1, and the printer has a SCSI ID of 3."

From page 20....

Changing the SCSI ID

1) Switch the printer off line
2) Enter menu mode
3) Press the arrow keys to go to the INTERFACE SELECT menu
4) go to the SCSI menu (press enter)
5) press the arrow keys to choose the SCSI ID you want to use
   (press enter)
6) switch the printer on line
7) to update the change in NVRAM, press enter

Don't forget the SCSI terminator if the printer is the last SCSI device  
in the chain.
