Helpful Hints for Windows¨ 3.1, 3.11 or Windows¨ 95, 98
nThe installer automatically updates your SYSTEM.INI Windows¨ file by
adding DEVICE=bi-di.386 under the [386Enh] section. If any bi-directional
parallel communications device driver has previously been installed, it will be
deactivated by this new driver. If you want to use the driver that was previously
installed, you should first install this driver, then reinstall your previous driver.
However, reinstalling the previous driver will make the MFC driver inactive.
nThe installer makes the installed printer driver the Windows¨ default.
nThe installer automatically sets the printer port to the parallel interface, LPT1
(for Windows
¨ 3.1 or 3.11) and BRMFC (for Windows¨ 95, 98) and BMFC
(for Windows NT
¨ Workstation 4.0).
nDuring this installation, changes have been made to the SYSTEM.INI file. It
is necessary to restart Windows
¨ so the changes become effective and the
installed bi-directional parallel communications device driver can take effect.
