we had to get another computer for the plasmacam [dell] we put a parallel port in it, axxon, how do you set it up

did you figure it out yet? If not I can sum up whats in my manual for you.

well the scanner was acting funny soI'll just jot down the important stuff

" You must use a parrallel port configured for ps/2 mode. To do this you will probably have to enter the bios mode. The menu will probably be called "chipset features setup" under which the "parrallel port mode" can be found.Try to choose ps/2 or "bi-dirrectional"

That kind of sums it up. Since I have not actually done it I can't give any tips.
