Parallel Cables:
Make sure your printer port works.
The Kanguru Parallel Cable needs to be connected to your computer's parallel port. The
parallel port is in the back of your PC where you normally connect your printer. The
connector is a 25 pin D-shaped female connector. Make sure that the printer port is
working correctly before connecting the Kanguru Cable to the parallel port. Test this by
printing a sample document.
Note: For optimal performance your printer port should be set to EPP (best) or bi-
directional mode. Check your system manual(s) for help.
Before connecting the parallel cable to you computer make sure everything is turned off.
Connect the cable to the device and the to the parallel port on your computer. You can
now power on the device, and the turn on your computer.
• Windows 3.x and DOS
Win95/98/NT Users should not use this procedure - see section 3.1.
After completing the hardware installation, insert the drivers cd and run the
dosinst.bat file to install the DOS drivers.
This procedure creates a directory on your C: drive. It copies the driver
installation program to this directory and modifies your CONFIG.SYS file to load the
driver. You can view your CONFIG.SYS file afterward to see where the driver was
added. Follow the instructions given onscreen to install the drivers and choose to install
them to the default directory. Reboot your PC after the installation is complete.
The installation is complete! You are now ready to begin using your Kanguru products.
Important information for users who purchased a new KanguruDisk or Portable to
use with their Kanguru Parallel cable:
• You have to format your KanguruDisk before you can use it for storage. Please
see chapter 5 for instructions.
• If your KanguruDisk is 8.4GB or greater it has been partitioned using FAT32 for
improved efficiency. As a result, systems using Windows 95A, Windows 3.X,
DOS and Windows NT will not recognize your KanguruDisk. In order to gain
access to your KanguruDisk you will need to repartition it by using FAT16.
