order to complete the installation of the SP-PCI card. Any Plug and
Play devices attached to the SP-PCI will now also be detected and
installed. Windows XP may display a message to the effect that the
drivers are not digitally signed. This warning can be ignored.

6. To view how Windows has installed the SP-PCI, open Windows'

Device Manager. Please note that the SP-PCI will appear in Device
Manager under two separate entries. The serial port will appear both
under the Multifunction Adapters tree and under the Ports tree,
while the Parallel port will appear under Ports only (see example
below). Please use the appropriate listings if you wish to customize
any of the SP-PCI card’s settings. Please note that changes to default
settings may be required by users connecting the SP-PCI card to a
non-printer peripheral (see reverse). Users connecting a printer
should use default settings.
