INSTALLING TO A PARALLEL PORT
This section explains how to connect the Visioneer scanner to a parallel
port. If you are connecting a 6200 scanner, you must connect it to a
USB port. For more information, see “Installing to a USB Port” on
page 5.
STEP 1: CONNECTING TO A PARALLEL PORT
The Visioneer 6400 scanner connects to any available parallel (LPT)
port on the back of your computer.
To connect the 6400 scanner to a parallel port:
1. Save any open files, and then shut down Windows.
2. Turn off the power to your computer.
3. If a printer is already attached to your computer’s parallel port,
unplug the printer cable from the computer. If you don’t have a
printer attached to your computer, skip this step.
