BEFORE YOU INSTALL THE BELKIN BITRONICS SOFTWARE, YOU MUST FIRST
MAKE SURE THAT EACH DEVICE WORKS PROPERLY ON ITS OWN WITH EACH
COMPUTER
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. Instructions on how to do this differ from one computer to
the next. Please consult your computer manufacturer's manual, tech support, or website for
information on how to do this. Please do not call Belkin Tech Support on this because each
computer's BIOS setup routine is different.
Make sure that the software and drivers for the devices to be shared are properly installed on any
Windows® 95 /98 computers. If you are sharing two printers between two computers, make sure
that the printer drivers for both printers are installed and working properly on your computer. If
you are sharing a Zip drive and a scanner between two computers, make sure that the software
and drivers of each device are installed and working properly on both computers.
Connect the two computers, and the device to be shared to the Bitronics Switch as shown below.
The cables from the computers to the Bitronics switch are included in the package. Take note of
which port each device is connected to:
