EXAMPLE: Sharing One Printer and a Zip
®
drive (or any other mass
storage device)
When dealing with a mass storage device (devices that add a drive letter to
your system like E:) such as a Zip
®
drive, the Bitronics Software in the system
tray must be configured so that the Bitronics switch is defaulted to the Port
attached to the Zip
®
Drive. It is necessary for the switch to always remain
connected to the Zip
®
Drive so that any time you access that drive, you will
always be connected, and not receive error messages:
1. Make sure that the port that connects to the Zip
®
drive is set to
Mass Storage Device in Settings. See Step 7 above for more info.
The image below shows the Zip
®
drive is connected to Port A, and
that the device type is Mass Storage Device. Type anything you
want in Display Name. Click OK when finished.
