CE will still not connect the first time PSoC Designer launched If this scenario is familiar do not modify the mode EPP ECP or Bi directional because this could be correct Simply reboot launch PSoC Designer and try connecting When using Windows NT 2000 or XP with versions of PSoC Designer 2 16 or earlier the machine needs to be rebooted twice in order for the par allel port driver to initiate the connection for the first time For all later ver sions of PSoC Designer the machine only needs to be re booted when the installation requests a reboot with the selection of the BIOS parallel port The correct mode has not been selected from the BIOS for the system in which case the machine will need to be rebooted and another mode tried Try Bi directional EPP ECP then ECP usually for Windows 98 systems Other hardware applications may be accessing the parallel port For instance printers or a full version of Adobe Acrobat can interfere with the use of the parallel port You can redirect prints to a file Another way to cir cumvent other applications interfering with the accessibility of the port is to obtain a PCI parallel card to provide a dedicated parallel port For further details see Alternate Parallel Port Cards page 15 If you are not interested in a dedicated port verify that no other hardware such as a printer or scanner is configured to access the same LPT port as the ICE 9 October 10 2002 There can be issu
