Software Requirements
You also need the following software loaded on your computer before
you install 505 SoftShop for Windows:
• Windows 95, 98, NT or 2000
Parallel Port Compatibility
Connecting the Siemens-Key to your computer’s parallel printer port or
USB is required to use 505 SoftShop for Windows, except when in the
demo mode. Procedures for installing the Siemens-Key and 505
SoftShop for Windows are outlined in the next chapter. If your parallel
port is not 100% IBM compatible, you may experience problems with
the Siemens-Key which will prevent 505 SoftShop for Windows from
functioning properly.
In most cases, you can correct the parallel interface incompatibilities by
replacing the parallel port with a 100% IBM compatible port or by
adding a second printer adapter card.
NOTE Siemens is not responsible for problems that result from using an
incompatible parallel interface.
