and replace the machine’s cover.

turn the PC on.

ask you for a driver for this device.When prompted, insert the
installation CD into your computer. After copying the necessary files
from the CD,Windows may restart your PC in order to complete the
installation of the Parallel-PCIe card.Windows XP/Vista may display a
message to the effect that the drivers are not digitally signed.This
warning can be ignored.

Manager under Ports, as a listing similar to the one below. If

Release Notes:
A. Because the Parallel-PCIe card uses PCIe (not ISA) I/O address ranges,
it will never be seen by your BIOS at boot-up as a standard parallel
port (occupying 0278h or 0378h) even if the address has been
changed in Windows using the above procedure.This is normal, and
does not indicate a fault in your Parallel-PCIe card.
B. In standard installations of Windows 2000/XP/Vista, the I/O address
cannot be changed to a legacy address.
