1. Hook up a parallel-port tape drive.
Enter your PC's system setup (details vary by manufacturer). Make sure your PC's parallel port is set for Enhanced Parallel Port mode. Some setups, like the one shown here, offer a combined ECP/EPP mode. That's fine, too.
Shut down your PC. If you have a printer attached, disconnect the printer cable from the parallel port.
Connect one end of the cable that came with your tape drive to your PC's parallel port, the other to the appropriate connector on the rear of the drive.
If you have a printer, connect your printer cable to the printer port on the tape drive.
Hook up the power connections on the rear of the tape drive and plug the power supply into an AC socket.
Now skip to Step 3.
