BEFORE YOU INSTALL THE BELKIN BITRONICS SOFTWARE, YOU MUST FIRST MAKE SURE THAT EACH DEVICE WORKS PROPERLY ON ITS OWN WITH EACH COMPUTER
1.Make sure that the printer port on your computer is set to ECP mode. To do this, you must go into your computer’s BIOS or CMOS setup.

Please do not call Belkin Tech Support on this because each computer’s BIOS setup routine is different.

If you are sharing two printers between two computers, make sure that the printer drivers for both printers are installed and working properly on both computers.
