The GV-PT2's "JVC GV-PT2 Capture" utility and Printer Driver can be used with Windows 3.1 or Windows 95. Printing from Windows NT and MS-DOS is not possible.

Please use only after making sure that your PC meets the above-mentioned conditions.

The GV-PT2's "JVC GV-PT2 Capture" utility and Printer Driver were developed for use in a Windows environment which supports Parallel port Bi-Directional interface. Bi-Directional interfaces include EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port), Bi-Directional (called Bidirectional mode, PS/2 compatible mode, escape mode, etc. depending on the unit), ECP (Extended Capabilities Port), Nibble, Byte mode and so on; "JVC GV-PT2 Capture" utility and Printer Driver operate when set to EPP or Bi-Directional.

When PC Parallel Port is not set as stated above, "Parallel port is not Bi-Directional mode. ..." warning will appear when the JVC GV-PT2 Capture utility or printing is attempted.

Depending on the PC model, the initial setting of the PC Parallel Port may not be EPP or Bi-Directional. In this case, it will be necessary to change the setting (BIOS setting) using the Setup Utility (which may be called "Environment Setting" or "Device Information Setting" depending on the PC's manufacturer. For the method of changing modes using the Setup utility, refer to your PC instruction manual.

Certain PC models may offer Bi-Directional but may not have EPP or Bi-Directional mode listed as a setup option, having other modes such as "extended" or "enhanced", etc. instead. If trying these modes fails to yield proper results, consult the manufacturer of the PC being used.
When you set up these modes, and it doesn't work, contact PC manufacturer. And in the case of PCs with both Standard and Bi-Directional modes, select the EPP mode.

Furthermore, modes with names such as "One-Way", "Compatible", "SPP (Standard Parallel Port)", "Standard Output Only", and "Normal" are all uni-directional interfaces, so they will not work.
