Computers running Win2K or WinXP use a different method to access and alter the Port Settings.
Please see the note at the end of section 2, LPT Port Address.
B
. Use our “patch” program called ‘DriverLoadMethod.exe’ which ships and installs with all
Windows versions of
PC/View
&
PC/180
X.2 and beyond. Within D.L.M., the
PC/View
parallel
port driver can be configured for boot time load instead of the default runtime load. This is a
relatively aggressive approach and should be avoided if possible.
Here’s the process for Windows 95/98:
1. Double click : My Computer: (C:) Drive: Programs File: Interphase File:
PC/View
or
PC/180
:
2. Open DriverLoadMethod.exe
3. Uncheck box marked Load Driver at Runtime.
4. Reboot.

.
LPT Port Address: There are 3 to select from in the Setup menu under Parallel Port, 0X378,
0X3BC and 0X278. The default is 0X378. Check to be certain that the
PC/View
or
PC/180
program is using the same address as the PC’s parallel port. The preffered setting is 0X378
(sometimes written as 0378).
The parallel port resources can be located as follows:
1. Right click on the ‘My Computer’ icon.
2. Click on the ‘Device Manager’ tab.
3. Double click on ‘Port (COM &LPT)’.
4. Double click on ‘Printer Port’.
5. Click on ‘Resources Tab’.
6. Select ‘Resource Type’ (typically 0378-037F).
7. Make changes as needed.
8. Reboot.
Computers using Win2K and WinXP Access both of the features in the following manner:
1. Got to ‘My Computer’ either via the desktop icon or Start menu.
2. Under the ‘System Tasks’ heading, click on ‘View System Information’.
3. Click on the ‘Hardware’ tab.
4. Click on ‘Device Manager’.
5. Scroll down to ‘Ports’ and open by clicking on the ‘+’.
6. Double click on ‘Printer Port’.
7. Click on the ‘Resources’ tab. The default settings should be “I/O Range 0378 – 037F” and
“IRQ 07”. These are the proper and preferred settings for
PC/View
and
PC/180
. If they are
not set up this way then the I/O range can be changed here. It is possible to change the LPT
Port Address within the
PC/View
and
PC/180
to match other I/O settings on the PC. This is
not preferred, but can be attempted if the preferred settings are not operating.
