Port” on page 10 to connect the scanner to a parallel port.
STEP 1: INSTALLING THE PAPERPORT SOFTWARE
Note: You must install the PaperPort software before connecting the

applications are running.
Microsoft Windows 98 is required to connect the scanner to a USB
port.
2. Insert the PaperPort CD into your computer’s CD-ROM drive.
The CD automatically starts.
Note: If the PaperPort CD does not automatically start, make sure
the CD drive’s door is completely shut. If the CD still doesn’t start,
the Autorun option on your computer is turned off. Click the
Windows icon named My Computer. The window shows the drives
available on your computer. Double-click the icon for your
CD-ROM drive to see the list of files on the CD. Double-click the
