Connecting a non-printer device

(e.g. external drive or parallel scanner)

to the 2SP-PCI's parallel port

In Windows 95/98/ME (not Windows 2000/XP) some parallel port devices require parallel ports that use standard (legacy) ISA LPT addresses (0278h or 0378h). Because the 2SP-PCI card is a fully compliant PCI device, its default address (Input/Output Range) is beyond the standard range of ISA I/O addresses. In order to connect such a peripheral to the 2SP-PCI card, the I/O address range of the card must therefore be changed manually. This section describes how this is done.

1.Open Control PanelSystemDevice Manager and find the Parallel- PCI listing under Ports. Click Properties, and proceed to the Resources tab. The following screen will appear (Note: the Input/Output Range and Interrupt of your particular configuration may differ from the one below).
