diskette also includes problem solving information for software
installations under Windows 95, Windows 3.1, and DOS.
Congratulations! When the software
installation is complete, your Zip drive will
be ready to use.
Use your Zip drive just like any other drive on your system.
Your Zip drive will have its own drive letter, and you can store and copy
files to and from the Zip drive using the same methods you use for your
other drives. For additional information on using your new drive and
Zip tools software, refer to the Zip User's Guide.

Connect the other end of the cable to your
computer's parallel port (printer port).
(If a printer is connected to the only parallel port,
disconnect it.)
The parallel port may be marked with a printer icon ooo. A parallel
port may also be labeled "Printer" or not marked at all. Check your
computer Owner's Manual if you are unable to locate your computer's
parallel port.
OPTIONAL: You can connect a printer to
the Zip drive using a standard printer cable.
The Zip drive must have power in order for the printer pass-through
feature to work.

Turn your computer ON, and connect the
Zip drive's power supply.
(The power cord fits
in the groove on the side of the drive.)
Always turn on power to your computer before or at the same time as
you supply power to your parallel port Zip drive. Iomega recommends
using a power strip to turn on all your devices at the same time. Power
must be applied to the Zip drive before DOS begins to load.
WARNING Use only an approved Iomega Zip power supply.
Other power supplies may damage your Zip drive. M
