This guide shows how to install the parallel port model of the ZIP
Drive using your PC’s printer connection. If you encounter any
problems while installing your ZIP Drive, refer to “Troubleshooting”
in the “Using Your ZIP Drive” section.
This model of the ZIP Drive cannot be used on Macintosh computers.
To connect to a Macintosh (including the PowerBook), use the SCSI
model of the ZIP Drive.
Using Your Printer With ZIP
Your ZIP Drive lets you use a printer and your ZIP Drive at the same
time, even if your computer has only one parallel port. Step 5 of
this guide shows you how to connect a printer to the ZIP Drive.
The README.TXT file on the Install disk and the “Using Your ZIP
Drive” section of the manual have additional information on using
a printer with your ZIP Drive.
Enhancing ZIP Drive Transfer Speed
The parallel port model of the ZIP Drive supports three data
transfer modes which have different transfer speeds. To ensure
the broadest base of compatibility for the ZIP Drive, the
Ersox
Installation software automatically uses the most compatible
mode; however, this may not be the fastest mode available on your
computer. If your computer has a bi-directional parallel port or an
EPP chip set, you may be able to use a faster mode of data transfer
which will significantly improve the performance of you ZIP Drive.
For detailed instructions on changing the data transfer speed for
your ZIP Drive, refer to ZIP Tools Help in your EPSON ZIP Tools
Window group or to the section on “Speed Options for the Parallel
Port ZIP Drive” in the README.TXT file on the Install disk.
OS/2 support
If you want to use your ZIP Drive in an OS/2 operating
environment, you need to purchase
Ersox
driver software
for OS/2. Call
Erso~
at 1-800-922-8911 to order driver
software, ($9.95 for shipping and handling), or use the EPSON
Download Service at (310) 782-4531 to download a driver.

computer’s parallel port (printer port).
(If a printer is connected to the only parallel port,
disconnect it and use pass-through feature described
in Step 5.)
The parallel port may be marked with a printer icon. 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.

through feature to work.

Turn your computer ON, and connect the ZIP
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

Use only an approved Epson, ZIP power supply. Other
power supplies may damage your ZIP Drive.

Start the Setup or Install program as
described below and follow the screen
instructions to install your ZIP software.
WINDOWS USERS
In the Windows Program Manager, select the File menu and

Install disk is in drive a: (or b: setup if it is in drive b: ), then
click on OK or press the Enter key.

README.TXT file on the Install disk.
WINDOWS 95 USERS
Software Setup
Open MY Computer and double click on the floppy drive icon.
Double click on Setup95.
If your system seems slow after
installing Tools 95, it is probably due to the way some plug and
play devices handle system refreshes. To solve this problem, simply
restart your system.
Accessing ZIP Took
After the software installation is complete, you can access tools
for your EPSON drives by clicking the RIGHT mouse button on
the drive icon in My Computer or Windows Explorer. The
EI’SON
tools available on the drive shortcut menus include:
Copy Machine - Lets you quickly and easily copy one disk to
another using either a single drive or two different drives on
your system.
Format - The format tool includes a Short Format option for
quickly erasing a disk and a Long Format option for verifying
the disk surface. You can also choose to make the disk bootable
or assign a volume name.
6
Protect - Lets you select software protection options for ZIP
disks. Lets you secure a disk with a password.
Make Nonremovable - Sets up a removable disk to install or
run software that requires a fixed disk.
Status - Gives you quick access to information about your drive
and disks.
Eject - Enables you to eject a disk with a mouse click.
Properties - Provides special information about your ZIP Drive
and disk, lets you set drive sleep time and other startup
preferences, and enables you to run drive diagnostics.
In addition to the tools listed on the drive shortcut menus,
Copy Machine, Guest95 and the ZIP help files are available
from the Tools 95 program group-just click the Start button
and point to Programs, then Tools 95.
Guest95
Guest95 allows you to move your ZIP Drive from one computer
to another with ease. Now there’s no need to reboot the system
when you add a parallel port ZIP Drive. Simply attach the ZIP
Drive to any compatible PC and run the Guest95 program to
assign a drive letter.
Any time you install new ZIP hardware on your system, you can
use Guest95 to load the drivers needed by Windows 95. You can
run Guest95 from the Tools installation disk or from your
EI’SO~T
ZIP Tools program group. Refer to the Guest95 Help file for
detailed information.
Note: When using Windows 95 with the ZIP Drive, the ZIP Tools
disk is write-protected and contains Macintosh files that are now
not usable. To remove the write protection and “Reclaim” the Tools
disk for use, you must do the following:
1
Double-click on the My Computer icon.
2 Double-click on the C: hard drive icon.
3 Double-click on the Tools 95 icon to open the folder.
4 Double-click on the Reclaim icon to run program.
7
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 in the File Manager.
You can store and copy files to and from your 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.
