It appears your using a Scanner that connects to your printer port. You have to go into your computer setup, usually when it boots up there should be a key you press that would take you into the BIOS settings. On my DELL's I press the DEL key, on my Compaq Notebooks, I press the F10. The computer when booting may tell you what to press to enter setup, or refer to your manual. Once in set up and select that parallel port mode.

Lamar, Cheeky told you right. I've done this and the first time you
change a BIOS setting it is scary. BIOS is what the PC uses when you
first turn the power on. You just have to do that and closely observe
what is displayed on the screen. Chances are the first time you'll be
too slow to hit the proper key in time. So turn power off and on again.

Does your new scanner have spell check? <vbG>
