Parallel Port Hardware Installation

Warning: Shut down your computer and turn off its power before you install

the Parallel Port ImageMate. Failure to do so could damage your computer.

Note to USB users: Go to the next section of this guide.

1. If a printer is installed on your computer system, shut down its power and disconnect it

from your computer.

2. Connect the parallel interface cable from the ImageMate to your computer’s

parallel port.

3. Attach your printer’s parallel cable to the ImageMate’s pass-through parallel connector.

This allows you to print without disconnecting the ImageMate from your computer.

4. Select the keyboard power adapter lead that is compatible with your PC keyboard

socket. Unplug the keyboard from your computer and attach it into the shorter end of

the Y-connector.

5. Plug the power jack (the longer end of the Y-connector) into the power input socket of

the parallel pass through connector.

6. Attach the Y-shaped keyboard connector into the keyboard jack on your PC.

7. Make sure all cable connections are secure. You’re now ready to install the

ImageMate software.

select a language. Proceed to Step 2. If the menu does not automatically appear after

one minute, open My Computer, and open the CD-ROM icon. Proceed to Step 2.

2. Once you have selected a language, follow the on-screen prompts to install the

ImageMate software.

USB Hardware Installation

(Windows and Macintosh)

Once your computer restarts and the Windows or Macintosh desktop reappears, simply

connect the ImageMate’s USB cable into one of your computer’s available USB ports.

ed on Macintosh keyboard ports. However, all self-powered USB ports and hubs
