Welcome

This guide explains how to connect the external CD-Writer to
your computer. This quide shows you how to:

1. Connect the external CD-Writer to your computer
2. Install the software that runs the CD-Writer
3. Select CDs for your CD-Writer and maintain them
4. Solve any problems that may arise

When you finish, your CD-Writer will be ready to record CDs.

SCSI or Parallel Mode?

Your CD-Writer can operate in either SCSI or parallel mode,
depending on the way it is connected.

In SCSI mode, the CD-Writer is connected to a SCSI adapter board
you already have or purchased with the CD-Writer. A SCSI
adapter board allows you to connect multiple devices to a single
expansion slot. In parallel mode, the CD-Writer is connected to
the printer port. The system requirements for each mode vary
slightly.

While your CD-Writer is able to work in either mode, your
package includes accessories for only one mode. That is, the SCSI
package includes a SCSI adapter cable. The parallel package
includes a parallel adapter cable and driver software for this cable.

You have purchased the SCSI package. You can easily switch to
parallel mode by purchasing a parallel adapter cable and drivers
from HP.
