BIOS SETTING
The GV-PT2 Driver & Capture Utility Software is designed to use a two-way communications
interface as a prerequisite in the environment of WindowsT. It runs when the parallel-port mode
is set to EPP or Bi-Directional (represented as PS/2 Exchange mode or Extension mode in some
PCs).
The initial setting of some PCs may not be EPP or Bi-Directional. In this case, set the mode to
EPP or Bi-Directional using the PC’s set-up utility. Refer to your computer’s user manual for
details.
Some PCs capable of two-way communications may not provide any setup indication for EPP or
Bi-Directional. In this case, consult the manufacturer of your computer.
