8. Zatvori slučaj: Close your computer case and reconnect the power source.

3.2 Instalacija drajvera

After hardware installation, you will need to install the necessary drivers for the operating system to recognize and utilize the parallel port.

• Windows Operating Systems (DOS, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, Server 2003-2008, 32/64-bit):
  1. Insert the provided mini-CD into your computer's CD/DVD drive.
  2. Navigate to the appropriate driver folder for your operating system version.
  3. Run the setup executable or follow the instructions to manually install the driver via Device Manager.
  4. If a CD/DVD drive is unavailable, check the manufacturer's webstranica za preuzimanje drajvera.
• Linux & OS/X 10.5 and other operating systems:

  Many Linux distributions and OS/X 10.5 may automatically detect and install generic drivers. If not, refer to the instructions on the mini-CD or the manufacturer's website for specific Linux/OS/X driver installation procedures.

4. Uputstvo za upotrebu

Once the card is installed and drivers are in place, the parallel port will be available for use by your operating system and applications.

1. Povežite uređaj: Connect your parallel device (e.g., printer, programmer, scanner) to the DB25 LPT port on the expansion card.

2. Konfiguriraj softver: Configure your application or operating system settings to use the newly installed parallel port. The port will typically be assigned as LPT1, LPT2, or LPT3, depending on system configuration.
3. Provjerite funkcionalnost: Test the connected device to ensure proper communication and operation.

5. Održavanje

The Diyeeni PCIE to DB25 LPT Parallel Port Expansion Card requires minimal maintenance.

• Keep the computer's interior clean and free of dust to prevent overheating and ensure optimal performance of all components, including the expansion card.
• Ensure the card is securely seated in its PCI Express slot.
• Avoid physical damage to the card or its connectors.

6. Otkrivanje problema

• Kartica nije otkrivena:
  • Provjerite da li je kartica u potpunosti umetnuta u PCI Express slot.
  • Verify that the PCI Express slot is functional. Try another slot if available.
  • Check your computer's BIOS/UEFI settings to ensure PCI Express slots are enabled.
• Problemi s instalacijom upravljačkih programa:
  • If using the mini-CD, ensure your CD/DVD drive can read the disc without errors.
  • For Windows 10/11, if the provided drivers do not work, try searching for updated drivers on the chip manufacturer's website (e.g., WCH CH382L or similar, if identifiable).
  • In Device Manager, check for any devices with a yellow exclamation mark and attempt to update drivers manually.
• Device Not Communicating:
  • Verify that the parallel device is correctly connected to the DB25 port.
  • Ensure the parallel device is powered on and functioning correctly.
  • Check the software configuration to ensure it is pointing to the correct LPT port assigned by the operating system.
  • Some older parallel devices or security dongles may have specific timing requirements or driver dependencies that might not be fully compatible with all PCI Express parallel port adapters.
• LinuxCNC Compatibility:

  Some users have reported that newer revisions of this card may register as a serial port rather than a parallel port in Linux, which can affect compatibility with applications like LinuxCNC that specifically require a true parallel port for non-Mesa setups. Verify the card's detection in your Linux environment using commands like lspci -v.
