Connecting the Phantom Premium Device
The high demands of the Phantom Premium device on the parallel port require the device
to have a dedicated parallel port for its use. If you are currently using your parallel port for
a printer, dongle or other peripheral, you will need to install an additional parallel port
card in your system. You can choose whether to connect the Phantom Premium device or
the other peripherals to the additional card.
1 Restart your computer after installing the PDD if you have not already done so.
2 Connect the cables as follows:
a With the computer still turned off, attach the male end of the supplied IEEE-1284
rated cable to your computer's parallel port.

at least 2 Amps, for 220V: 1 Amp).
