VISION SOFTWARE - Vision Engraving & Routing Systems

14 Vision Software User's Guide
When VISION detects a valid key it switches into registered mode,
identifying itself by placing a serial number in the [F9] EXECUTE screen.
It is the CUSTOMERS RESPONSIBILITY to keep and protect the
SOFTWARE PROTECTION KEY. This may include having insurance for
the key. Keys will normally only be replaced on PROOF OF
DESTRUCTION of the original key otherwise a complete software system
must be purchased.
The SOFTWARE PROTECTION KEY can be plugged into ANY printer
port for normal operation.
NOTE: The printer port must NOT be configured for Bi-Directional for the
Software Protection Key to work properly. If the Key does not work, you
must go into your computers CMOS setup. Each computer is a little
different, but on most computers, you can press the [DEL] key while the
computer is going through the memory test on boot up. Then go to the
section that says something about Peripherals. Then find the section that
says Parallel Port Mode and use the [Page Down] key to change the
selection. Press the [Page Down] key until it says either “Normal” or
“ECP”. These settings work the best. Then press the [Esc] key and then go
to the section that says Save Settings and press [Enter].
IMPORTANT: DO NOT plug a printer or scanner into the Software
Protection key if your printer or scanner has a plug on the back for you to
plug the Software Protection key into. Plug the Software Protection key into
the printer or scanner.
CAUTION: The key will not be detected and may not operate if a printer
or device plugged into the rear is switched off. In situations where this may
cause difficulties, try plugging the printer or device into another printer port
instead of the key.
