1. Make sure that your system is unplugged and you are grounded.

2. Remove the cover of your system (see your computer's user manual for details, if

necessary) and gently turn your computer onto its side, so that the PCI expansion slot

openings on the motherboard are facing upwards.

3. Locate an empty PCI slot (usually white in color) and remove the metal plate that

covers the corresponding rear bracket. You may need a Phillips screwdriver to perform

this step. Retain the screw! You will need it to secure the card later.

4. Gently insert the card into the empty slot, making sure it is firmly seated.

5. Secure the card in place using the screw you removed in Step 3.

6. Replace and secure the computer cover.

Configuring the LPT port

1. Be sure your printer or other parallel peripheral is securely connected to the PCI

Parallel card.

2. Open the Windows Control Panel, open Printers and click Add Printer. This will

launch the Add Printer Wizard.

3. If you want to connect a printer to your PCI Parallel Card, please select PCI ECP/EPP

Port, and click next. Follow any further installation instructions from within Windows.

legacy 0x378 and/or 0x278 I/O ports. Click OK. This setting will take effect following

the next system reboot.

3. Once the computer has rebooted, verify that the changes have taken effect by
