EPP GoLogic hardware setup

Contents

When the EPP GoLogic type is selected, the software uses the computer's local printer port to control the GoLogic. This option should only be used when an older EPP GoLogic is connected to the computer via the supplied NCI printer port cable.

Not all printer ports correctly support the EPP (enhanced printer port) standard. Therefore, not all computers can be used to control the EPP GoLogic model. If you have trouble with a printer port, we recommend purchasing the EPP-to-USB adapter cable option.

 
Step 1: Get the print port's address
Use Device Manager to determine the base address of your computer's printer port...
 
 
Step 2: Use the same address in the GoLogic setup
Run the GoLogic software and choose the the "Edit > Hardware settings..." menu command to display the hardware setup dialog box. Choose the "EPP GoLogic on EPP port" option.

If the printer port's base address (from Step #1) is either 0x378 or 0x278, then select the address from the EPP Address list box.

If a custom printer port is used, select the "Other (enter below)" option and type the base address into the Custoim EPP edit box.

Click Ok when the printer port address matches the base address taken from Device Manager.

 
Step 3: Turn off the computer and connect the power and EPP cable
Some printer ports will not work properly unless the printer cable is connected when the computer is turned on. You can experiment later to determine if your printer port is sensitive to connecting the EPP cable while the computer has power.

The GoLogic EPP device driver is loaded during Windows startup. If the base address you selected for the printer port does not conflict with other hardware in the computer, Windows loads the GoLogic EPP driver. If you selected a base address which conflicts with other hardware or does not match a valid printer port, then the GoLogic EPP driver fails to load.

 
Step 4: Run the GoLogic software
If the GoLogic EPP driver was loaded successfully at Windows startup, then the GoLogic software will detect the device and control the GoLogic using the printer port. The software automatically tests the printer port connection each time a new port is used. Once the port connection is verified as reliable, the software will not test the connection again. Use the "Test hardware" button to re-test the printer port connection.
