Driver installation for Jaz Traveller
If you use Jaz Traveller to connect the Jaz drive to a
computer that is running Windows NT, you MUST install the
Iomega Parallel Port driver on the system. Until the driver
is installed, you will not be able to access your Jaz drive
or install ToolsNT software.
IMPORTANT! You must have administrator privileges for your
local computer in order to install software drivers under
Windows NT.
______________________________
Section 1.1
Driver Installation under Windows NT 4.0
1. Click Start, point to Settings, then click Control
Panel.
2. Double click "SCSI Adapters."
NOTE: Windows NT installs drives or adapters that use
the parallel port interface as SCSI adapters.
3. Select the "Drivers" tab and click the "Add" button.
4. Click "Have Disk" and insert the Install diskette that
came with the Jaz Traveller into the computer's floppy
drive.
5. Make sure "a:\" appears in the dialog box (or "b:\" if
the Install diskette is in drive b:), then click "OK."
6. Click the "Iomega Zip Parallel Port/Jaz Traveller
driver" to select it.
7. Click "OK." Windows NT will then copy the driver file
and add the Iomega parallel port driver to the list of
installed drivers found on the system.
8. Click "OK" to exit. Note that you need to reboot your
system in order for the new driver to take effect.
After your system reboots, you should be able to access
the Jaz drive.

Section 2
Iomega ToolsNT Software
Iomega ToolsNT software is an integrated package of software
utilities that provides full support for Jaz and Zip drives
under Windows NT. ToolsNT includes Iomega disk format, Zip
and Jaz disk protection options, Copy Machine, Quick (a
multi-functional tool allowing fast access to Iomega drive
features), and the Iomega Parallel Port Optimizer which can
increase the data transfer speed when using Jaz Traveller to
connect your Jaz drive.
Refer to the PC Installation section of the Jaz Owner's
Manual for instructions on installing Iomega ToolsNT on your
system. If the "tools" disk that came with your Jaz drive
does not include ToolsNT software, or if you need updated
software, you can download the basic Tools and driver
software from the Iomega Web site.
1. Contact the Iomega Web site at http://www.iomega.com.
2. Select "Software Download" from the contents list, then
select the "FTP Site" link.
3. Select "Windows NT" and download the software needed on
your system.

Section 3
Iomega Parallel Port Optimizer
If you install Iomega Tools software on your system, you can
use the Parallel Port Optimizer to automatically configure
the Jaz Traveller driver to use the fastest transfer mode
supported on your system. To use the Optimizer tool, double
click on the "Parallel Port Optimizer" icon in your Iomega
Tools group.
Jaz Traveller supports three modes of data transfer, which
have different transfer speeds. When installed, the Jaz
Traveller driver uses the most compatible, but slowest mode
to ensure the broadest base of compatibility. If your
computer has a bi-directional parallel port, the Jaz
Traveller driver can be set to use a mode which provides
higher data transfer speeds.
The fastest mode supported by Jaz Traveller requires a
special "Enhanced Parallel Port" (EPP) chip set to be
present on the host computer. Because of the variety of EPP
chip sets, and because there are some chip sets that mimic a
true EPP chip but do not support EPP transfers, not all
systems with "EPP" can support this mode for Jaz Traveller.
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
