INSTALLING FINGERPRINT READER SUPPORT
*************************************

Identix recommends installing Parallel Port Fingerprint Readers on 
the primary parallel port (LPT1). You can install the reader on 
the secondary parallel port (LPT2).

If you are running Windows 95 or 98, and installing a Parallel Port
Fingerprint Reader on LPT2, you must ensure that the port is properly
recognized by the system.  If the port is not recognized by the 
operating system, you may be unable to tune the reader during the 
driver installation process.  The Add New Hardware Control Panel 
Applet can be used to force the operating system to recognize a port.

Parallel Port Fingerprint Readers based on Identix sensors support 
any parallel port mode. The user can enable and set the mode of 
the parallel port before installing the reader. Set the port for 
ECP/EPP if available to achieve the optimal reader performance. 
If ECP/EPP is not available, set the port to bi-directional mode.
