key and an ECP port for the printer.
• Some parallel communication devices use a cable with a plug that allows
another device to be attached, so that two parallel devices are attached to
one PC parallel port, known as a pass-through or piggy-back plug. The
printer and printer driver cannot communicate reliably through such a
plug. Install a second parallel port in the PC if needed.
– USB port (used with the Windows XP,Windows 2000, Windows Me, or
Windows 98 operating system)
• The PC might have more than one USB port, or USB devices already
attached to the PC might provide USB ports to use.
Datacard recommends using the Windows 2000 or XP operating systems if
you plan to connect more than one printer to a PC using USB ports or using a
USB port and other connection methods.

Have a CD-ROM drive to install the printer driver
•
Have one of the following operating systems:

The Windows Me printer driver is also designed to work on Windows 98 or
Windows 98 Second Edition.
– Windows XP with service pack 1 (recommended)
– Windows 2000 with service pack 3
– Windows NT 4.0 with service pack 5 or higher
The printer cannot be connected to a PC running Windows NT using a USB

data. For the PC requirements of your card creation application, see the application's
documentation.
ID system installation sequence
You might use this printer as part of an identification system (with a camera) or you
might use it with existing data and applications. When you set up this printer along
with other system components, install the printer driver after setting up the PC and
before installing the card creation application and capture software and devices. Verify
the success of each installation step before continuing.
