1.

Click “Start”, select “Settings”,
point to “Printers”, and right-
click on your printer.
Select “Properties”.

2.

Click on the “Details” tab.
You will see the Window on the
right. Click on this pull-down
menu to select which port your
printer is connected to. Choose
“AUTOLPTA”, because our
example had the first DeskJet
on Port A of the AutoSwitch.

3.

Repeat procedure from #1
above, and do the same for the
other printers. Our example has
the LaserJet

on Port B on the

AutoSwitch, so the port that it
will connect to in the Properties
will be AUTOLPTB.

4. Click “OK” when installation

is complete.

Assigning Pre-Installed Printers To The Belkin AutoSwitch
Virtual Ports:

If you are trying to add your printers to Windows

®

and it is not listed in

the default, “Add Printer Wizard”, you will have to use the software that
came with your printer to install the printer. Follow the instructions that
came with your printer, then REBOOT YOUR COMPUTER.

If your printers are already installed in Windows

®

, all you have to do is to

change the port assignment from LPT1 (or any other LPT port) to the
virtual AutoSwitch ports.
