    I nstalling the Phantom Premium C h a p t e r Device This chapter will describe, step by step, how to install the Phantom Premium haptic device. The installation is done in two steps. • Install the software, the Phantom Device Driver, that allows your computer to communicate with the Phantom Premium device.
  • Page 12 NSTALLING THE HANTOM REMIUM EVICE Connecting the Phantom Premium Device The high demands of the Phantom Premium device on the parallel port require the device to have a dedicated parallel port for its use. If you are currently using your parallel port for a printer, dongle or other peripheral, you will need to install an additional parallel port card in your system.

    These switches can be used to cut off motor power for debugging purposes. Position the Phantom Premium device. IMPORTANT Geomagic uses only Parallel Port components that exceed the IEEE 1284 EPP implementation recommendations. Geomagic is not responsible for any damage that may result from using 3rd party cables.
