INSTALLATION
2.1 HARDWARE INSTALLATION
There are two D-type connectors on the KPA 900, a 25-pin male at the end of the ribbon
cable and a 9-pin female on the top of the cabinet. The 25-pin connector attaches to the
parallel port of the personal computer. The CM 2000 plugs into the 9-pin connector. See
Figure 2-1 for the connector locations.
NOTE: Some parallel ports that are not configured can discharge the battery in the KPA
900. For longer battery life, unplug the KPA 900 from the personal computer
when not in use.

2.2 SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
There are two ways to install the KPA 900 software. There is an automatic method and a
manual method. Both methods achieve the same result, so the choice is based on
personal preference.
2.2.1 KPA 900 SOFTWARE IMPACT TO PC
The KPA 900 software installation is designed to have minimal impact to the computer
operating system. It does not alter the Windows registry or install any drivers. It does
install two .dll files, but puts them in the local directory to avoid potential version conflicts
with other programs. All files created by the KPA 900 are stored in the local directory,
unless the user specifies a different location. Deleting the local directory reverses the
installation.
