Section 1
Why install Iomega Tools software for Jaz Traveller?
Jaz Traveller portability means that you can use it to
connect your Jaz drive to any PC without having to install
the complete Iomega Tools software package on that computer.
(All you need to do is run the Guest program as described in
your Jaz Traveller Installation Guide.) However, you may
want to do a permanent Tools installation if:
* You use your Jaz drive frequently on a given computer.
* You need to use Jaz disk protection features.
* You want to be able to use any of the Iomega Tools
application programs with your Jaz drive.
* You want to be able to run the Iomega Parallel Port
Optimizer to maximize Jaz drive performance through the
parallel port. (See the instructions in Section 5.)
If you choose to do a permanent Tools installation, use the
Jaz "tools" disk that came with your Jaz drive and follow
the instructions given in this Readme file for your system.
NOTE: If you need updated Tools software, you can download
it 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 your operating system and download the file for
the latest drivers and Tools.

Section 5
How to Use the Parallel Port Accelerator
Iomega Tools software includes a parallel port accelerator
that can automatically set up your system to use the fastest
transfer mode for Jaz Traveller and the Jaz drive that is
supported by your computer's parallel port. If you do not
run the accelerator, the Iomega software will automatically
use the most compatible, but slowest, of three possible data
transfer modes. If your computer has a bi-directional
parallel port or a supported "Enhanced Parallel Port" (EPP)
chip set, the accelerator may be able to set your Iomega
software to use a faster transfer mode, which will
significantly improve Jaz drive performance through the
parallel port.
To use the accelerator, you must first permanently install
Iomega Tools software, then follow the instructions given
for your system below.
IMPORTANT VERSION INFORMATION! If you are using a version
of Tools earlier than 5.1, the Parallel Port Accelerator
will not work with Jaz Traveller and the Jaz drive unless
the SCSI ID on the Jaz drive is set to 6. Versions of Tools
more recent than 5.1 include support for additional parallel
port chip sets. If you need updated Tools software, you can
download it from the Iomega Web site (http://www.iomega.com)
Windows 95 Users:
If Jaz Traveller was connected when you installed Iomega
Tools, you can double click on the "Parallel Port
Accelerator" icon in the Iomega Tools folder located on your
Desktop or Start Programs menu.
If the "Parallel Port Accelerator" icon does not appear in
the Iomega Tools folder, use My Computer or Windows Explorer
to open the "Tools_95" folder on drive c:. Scroll down to
locate the "Parallel Port Accelerator" icon, then double
click the icon to run the accelerator.
Windows 3.1 Users:
Double click on the "Parallel Port Accelerator" icon in your
Iomega Tools Windows group.
DOS Users:
Run the OPTPPM1.EXE utility as follows:
Step 1: If you have not already done so, install the Iomega
SCSI software package following the instructions in the
section 4 of this Readme file.
Step 2: Go to the DOS prompt for drive C: and type:
cd \iomega <Enter>
optppm1 <Enter>
NOTE: If you wish to restore the default settings on your
system, run "OPTPPM1.EXE /NIBBLE" from the DOS prompt.
(This works under Windows 3.1 as well as DOS.)
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.
