Frequently Asked Questions - LPT PCIe Evolveo

What is the Evolveo LPT PCIe used for?

The Evolveo LPT PCIe is a parallel port expansion card that adds a legacy IEEE 1284 parallel port to a desktop computer via a PCI Express slot. It is commonly used to connect older printers, scanners, or other parallel devices to modern PCs.

Is this adapter compatible with Windows 10?

Yes, the card is compatible with Windows 10 (32/64-bit). For Windows 7 and above, drivers are installed automatically via Windows Update.

Does it support legacy printers?

Yes, the adapter supports standard IEEE 1284 parallel devices, including most legacy printers. Ensure your printer uses a standard parallel cable.

How do I install the driver?

For Windows 7 and later, simply insert the card into a PCIe slot and start your PC. Windows will automatically detect and install the driver. For older systems, you may need to manually install drivers from the included CD or the Evolveo website.

Is the card plug and play?

Yes, on Windows 7 and higher, the card is plug-and-play with automatic driver installation. On older systems, manual driver installation may be required.

Can I use this adapter with Linux?

The manual only mentions Windows compatibility. However, the ASIX AX99100 chipset may have Linux kernel support. Check your distribution's hardware compatibility list or use a search engine for 'AX99100 Linux'.

Does it require external power?

No, the card is powered entirely through the PCI Express slot. No external power connection is needed.

What should I do if the card is not detected?

Ensure the card is firmly seated in the PCIe slot and your PC is turned off during installation. Check BIOS settings to ensure PCIe slots are enabled. If still not detected, try a different PCIe slot or update your motherboard's chipset drivers.

How can I troubleshoot connection issues?

First, verify the card is properly installed. Check Device Manager for any yellow exclamation marks. Reinstall the driver if needed. Test with a known-working parallel device. Also, ensure the parallel cable is fully inserted.

Where can I download the latest driver?

The latest drivers are typically available on the Evolveo support website (www.evolveo.com) or from the chipset manufacturer (ASIX). Alternatively, Windows Update should provide the driver automatically.
