Connecting the Stylus Scan to Your Computer
Your Stylus Scan has two ports through which it can be connected
to a computer; a parallel port and a USB port. Use the port
appropriate for your computer.
Note:
❏If your computer has both a parallel and USB port, be sure to follow
the correct steps to connect to the desired port.
❏Do not use the Stylus Scan’s parallel port and USB port
simultaneously. Connect the Stylus Scan to one computer at a time.
Using the parallel port (for Windows 98 or 95)
To connect the Stylus Scan to your PC using the parallel port, you
need a shielded, twisted-pair parallel cable. Follow the steps
below to connect your Stylus Scan via the parallel port.
1.Make sure both the Stylus Scan and computer are turned off.

2.Plug the cable connector securely into the parallel interface
connector at the rear of the Stylus Scan. Squeeze the wire clips
together until they lock in place on both sides.
3.Plug the other end of the cable into the computer’s parallel
interface. If there is a ground wire at the computer end of the
cable, connect it to the ground connector at the back of the
computer.
You are now ready to install the Stylus Scan drivers. For
