BEFORE YOU INSTALL THE BELKIN BITRONICS SOFTWARE, YOU MUST
FIRST MAKE SURE THAT EACH DEVICE WORKS PROPERLY ON ITS OWN
WITH EACH COMPUTER. DO NOT CONNECT THE BITRONICS SWITCH TO
THE COMPUTERS OR INSTALL THE SOFTWARE UNTIL INSTRUCTED BY
1. 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 differs 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 regarding this because each computer's BIOS setup routine is
different. Refer to the Appendices at the end of this manual for
information on several models of computers.
The BIOS setup routine prompt is displayed a few seconds after you turn
on your computer and hear its first beeps. Again, this varies from PC to
PC. Please consult the Appendices and/or your computer manufacturer's
manual or their tech support for information on how to do this properly.
Usually you will see a message that reads PRESS DEL TO ENTER SETUP or
PRESS F2 TO ENTER SETUP. When in the setup program, there may be a
selection for "Integrated Peripherals", or "Peripheral Setup". Then, look
for "Parallel Port Type" or "LPT port type". Change that setting to say
"ECP" or "ECP/EPP". Save your settings then exit. When Windows
restarts, it may find new hardware, and it may ask you for the Windows
CD. Be prepared to insert the CD into the computer.
2. Make sure that the software and drivers for the devices to be shared are
properly installed on all computers.
For instance, if you are sharing a Zip
computers, you will need to first connect and install the Zip
on the first PC. Make sure that the Zip
repeat the same installation process for the second PC. Then, you will
need to do the same installing the printer's driver on both PCs as well.
This way, all the PCs have the drivers properly loaded so each one can
access either device without any problems, as if they were connected to
the computer individually.
