Configuring The Card - Epson Personal Document Station Getting Started Manual

Installing the Parallel lnterface Card
Follow the steps in this section if you need to install the
bidirectional parallel interface card in your computer. You may
also need to configure the card before you install it.
Some computers come with a built-in bidirectional parallel
interface. You do not need to install the parallel interface board
if your computer has a built-in interface that you are not
currently using. If you will connect the scanner to an existing
interface, skip to "Setting Up the Scanner" on page 6.
Note:
Standard (unidirectional) and bidirectional parallel interfaces look the
same but operate differently. Your scanner does not work with a
standard parallel interface, so check your computer manual to make
sure you have an unused bidirectional parallel interface before you
connect the scanner to it.

Configuring the Card

The parallel interface board contains jumpers that select the
port address (LPT l or LPT 2) and interrupt (IRQ 5 or IRQ 7) the
card uses. You may need to change the jumper settings if there
is a conflict with your computer's parallel port settings. See
your computer manual for information about the port address
and interrupt used by its parallel port.
The bidirectional parallel interface card default settings are:
Your computer's parallel port probably uses LPT1 and a
different IRQ setting. However, if it uses LPT2 or IRQ5, follow
the steps below to change the interface card's jumper settings.
