Setting the Parallel Port Address and Mode
In order for Scan-X to communicate with Cobra, the parallel port address and
mode need to be set properly. In the event that these settings are incorrect, the
following error message will be displayed when you launch Scan-X.
Note:
If your Cobra came with a factory-supplied computer, you can skip this
section (the parallel port on your system was set at the factory).
The parallel port mode needs to be set to ‘Bi-directional’ mode. For on-board
parallel ports, this is done by entering the computer system’s BIOS upon boot
up and changing the configuration setting from 'Standard' to ‘Bi-directional’,
which is also commonly referred to as ‘ECP+EPP’. Consult your Management
Information System Administrator for assistance in setting the parallel port
mode.
