Changing Settings for Installation

The driver does not install satisfactorily.

If the response from the PC is lost during installation or an error occurs, it may be that the parallel port settings in the BIOS of the PC are not suited to the MSAC-PR1.

By changing the parallel port BIOS settings and adding parameters to the driver, the situations above can be rectified.

AChanging the Parallel Port BIOS Settings

The method for changing the parallel port BIOS settings and the screens that are displayed vary according to the type of computer that you are using. Refer to the instruction manual for you computer for information regarding changing the settings.

Method for Changing Settings (example)

1 Start the computer.

2 When the computer is powered up, A message “Press xx for setting” appears at the bottom of the screen before the operating system (Windows etc) screens appear. (For a computer that complies with the Energy Star standard, this message appears at the top right corner of the Energy Star logo screen.) Press the (xx) button as instructed by the message before the message disappears from the screen. Pressing the (xx) button invokes the BIOS settings screen.

Some computers do not display this message for BIOS settings. Refer to the instruction manual for the computer for more information.

3In most BIOS setting screens, there are 2 procedural steps that invoke the screens for actually making the settings. First of all, start from the screen that has the parallel port settings item in it. (Usually you will not know from the first screen which screen contains the parallel port settings and will have to refer to the instruction manual for the computer to open the screen for the parallel port settings.)

4BIOS setting possibilities vary from computer to computer, however, normally the following options are available:

Auto→ Enable→ Disable

EPP→ ECP→ SPP→ Bi-directional

(Some computers only have the first two options.) Make the settings in the following way:

Auto→ Enable→ Disable

Set to Enable

EPP→ ECP→ SPP→ Bi-directional

Check operations with each setting.
