Chapter 3: Installing the  
Software  
Checking Your Parallel Ports  
Before installing the software, you should check your computer’s parallel port  
settings to ensure the maximum performance from your tape drive. There are  
currently four types of parallel ports on the market: (listed from the slowest data  
transfer rate to the fastest) unidirectional, bidirectional, Enhanced Parallel Port  
(EPP), and Extended Capabilities Port (ECP).  
New computers are likely to have at least an Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP), which  
allows the maximum performance from your tape drive. Consult your computer’s  
documentation to learn if you have an EPP or ECP port. If you have one, verify that it  
is configured to the fastest possible setting.

Does the drive move the tape when the tape is inserted? If not, check the power  
connections to the tape drive.  
Disconnect all the cables, look for and straighten any pins, and then reconnect the  
cables. Sometimes just reconnecting a cable aligns it correctly or adjusts the pin  
connections, fixing a faulty connection.  
n
If you have a printer connected to the HP Colorado tape drive, turn off the  
computer’s power. Disconnect the tape drive and the printer. Reconnect only  
your tape drive to the parallel port, then turn the computer on and start Colorado  
Backup. If Colorado Backup works properly, it is likely you have a conflict with

the printer.  
n
n
Make sure that there is no switch box anywhere in the HP Colorado drive’s  
cabling configuration.  
Your parallel port may be using the same IRQ setting as some other device in  
your computer system. For example, a sound board or fax/modem board may be  
using the same IRQ. If you discover conflicts, change the IRQ setting on the  
other device. Refer to the manuals that came with your computer and other  
devices for instructions.  
n
If your tape drive works, but the data transfer rate is noticeably slow or the tape  
repeatedly starts and stops (as opposed to running continually for long periods),  
consult your computer’s documentation to view and edit the parallel port’s  
CMOS settings. Newer computers are likely to have enhanced parallel ports  
(EPP) or extended capabilities ports (ECP), which transfer data much faster than  
unidirectional, bi-directional, or compatible ports. Some factory settings may  
have the EPP or ECP ports set as a slower unidirectional port. Changing the  
CMOS settings in this case can greatly improve the tape drive’s performance.  
n
n
Make sure you are using the right type of tape. See “Choosing Tapes for Your  
Tape Drive” on page 32.  
Windows and Windows 95 users: If the tape-drive icon appears with a red mark  
through it, the software either cannot find the drive at the selected settings, or the  
inserted tape is not compatible. (Windows 3.x users can click on the tape icon to  
read the error message.) Exit the software and restart it. If the mark remains, try  
the operation with a different tape.  
n
If your computer has a power-management feature that shuts off your computer  
after a specified period of time since the last keyboard input, you may experience  
problems with certain operations that exceed the time limit. Turn off the power-  
management feature when performing a long running operation such as a total or  
full-system backup. Check your computer’s manuals to find out how to turn off  
or change the time limit of the power-management feature.  
n
Check the read-me file on the software installation CD that came with your tape  
drive or the HP web site (see page 46) for any late-breaking troubleshooting  
information.  
Achieving optimal performance  
Run SCANDISK.EXE and DEFRAG.EXE on your hard drive before using your tape  
drive for the first time (see your DOS, Windows 3.x or Windows 95 manual for more  
information). Then run them periodically after that. These programs improve access  
times to the hard drive, which will help improve the tape drive’s performance.  
 
Installing the Software  
31  
Printer Status Monitor Software  
NOTE: This is only a problem if your printer is connected to the back of the tape  
drive.  
If your printer came with a program that notifies you about the status of the printer  
(such as when it is out of paper), this printer status monitor software might cause  
problems. The printer status monitor software checks the status of your printer every  
few seconds. If this happens while you are writing data to your tape, it will cause data  
corruption. Turn off the printer status monitor software to prevent this problem.  
Check the information that came with your printer to find out how to do this.  
Known Compatibility Problems

n
Check the web site listed on page 46 for the most recent information.  
Acer computers, some models P75 to P120  
DO NOT connect the tape drive to the printer (parallel) port. On these models,  
connecting an external storage device, such as the HP Colorado drive, to the  
parallel port will damage the port. Contact your computer manufacturer for more  
information.  
n
n
Okidata printer model 4w  
Printer no longer works or problems printing a file after connecting it to the tape  
drive  
Your parallel port may be using the same IRQ setting as some other device in  
your computer system. For example, a sound board or fax/modem board may be  
using the same IRQ. If you discover conflicts, change the IRQ setting on the  
other device. Refer to the manuals that came with your computer and other  
devices for instructions.  
n
If your printer is attached to the tape drive, printing documents while using the  
tape drive will yield unpredictable results and is not a supported function. This is  
because the printer and tape drive are sharing the same data cable.

Using Tapes and Caring for Your Drive  
33  
In Windows 95 only, your tape drive can also read from but NOT write to backup  
tapes made using Colorado Backup software and a Jumbo 250, 350, 700, 1400;  
Trakker 250, 350, or 700; T1000; or T3000 tape drive.  
The following section explains how to insert your tapes. Please note the differences  
between the HP Colorado cartridges and the standard mini-data cartridge when they  
are fully inserted.  
CAUTION: Do not erase C4425 or C4429 tapes with bulk erasers. Magnetic bulk  
erasing removes tracking reference points that are placed on the tape at the factory.  
Without these points, the tapes cannot be read by your tape drive. The Erase utility in  
Colorado Backup is the safest and quickest method of removing data from your tapes.  
Inserting a Tape  
1. Align the tape with the tape-drive door. The record/play area faces the door and goes  
in first.  
2. Insert the tape with the metal base plate facing away from the colored strip on the  
tape drive.  
3. Steady the drive with one hand and push the tape into the tape drive with the other.  
You will feel it lock into place.  
After the cartridge is inserted, you will hear the sound of the tape being wound back  
and forth. This sound indicates that the tape drive is finding the beginning of the tape,  
determining the tape’s length and format, and positioning the drive’s read/write head.  
Note the differences between the two cartridge types when they are fully inserted.  
HP Colorado cartridge or  
Travan cartridge

Metal base plate  
on tape  
Approximately 1” (2.5cm) of the  
cartridge extends out of the drive  
when fully inserted.  
The wider HP Colorado cartridge spans the  
entire width of the drive’s opening.

Installation Guide  
Standard mini cartridge  
Colored strip  
Metal base plate  
on tape  
Approximately 0.75” (2cm) of the  
cartridge extends out of the drive  
when fully inserted.  
Mini-data cartridges are narrower, leaving gaps on  
each side of the tape when inserted.  
Removing a Tape  
1. Wait until the light on the front of your tape drive quits blinking. (DO NOT remove a  
tape during an operation. See the CAUTION note below.)  
2. Steady the drive with one hand and grasp the tape cartridge with the other. Pull the  
cartridge straight out.  
CAUTION: Interfering with a tape during operations may cause data loss, and may  
make the tape temporarily unrecordable. If, during a backup, you pull the tape out of  
the drive, turn off the power to the computer, or firmly bump the tape, you will not be  
able to read the data currently written to the tape. Also, the tape will not be  
recordable until it is erased with Colorado Backups Erase utility. (Never use a  
magnetic bulk eraser to erase your HP Colorado C4425 or C4429 tapes. Bulk  
erasers remove reference points on the tape that are vital. Removing these points  
makes tapes unusable.)  
Caring for Your Tape Drive  
You do not need to perform any routine maintenance on the HP Colorado tape drive.  
CAUTION: Do NOT clean the read/write head of an HP Colorado tape drive.  
CAUTION: Do NOT degauss or demagnetize the read/write head of an HP Colorado  
tape drive. Damage to your tape drive will result.

Installation Guide  
What Affects Performance  
How well your new HP tape drive functions, particularly how fast it writes data to  
tape, depends on a number of factors. Some of these factors are listed below.  
Processor (CPU). The type and speed of your processor greatly affects the speed at  
which your computer transfers data to and from the tape drive.  
RAM. Your computer must have enough memory available to handle its operating  
system, the backup software, and the data you are transferring to and from tape. The  
system should not have to swap data to and from the hard drive. Shut down other  
programs during a backup to ensure optimal speed.  
Parallel Port Type. The type of parallel port on your computer has a major influence  
in determining the speed at which your HP Colorado tape drive runs. Possible  
parallel port types are:  
n
Standard parallel port (SPP) which is sometimes called unidirectional, bi-  
directional, or compatible  
n
n
Enhanced parallel port (EPP)  
Extended capabilities port (ECP)  
TIP: Check your computer’s specifications to see which kind of parallel port was  
installed. Sometimes a fast ECP/EPP port will be set up as a slow standard mode port  
at the factory (for example, some HP Vectra models). Check your computer’s manual  
to find out how to reset it to the faster speed. If that doesn’t work you can also install  
a faster parallel port.  
I/O and IRQ. The IRQ (interrupt request level) and I/O (input/output) base address  
are the computer resources used by the parallel port. The HP Colorado tape drive will  
have better performance on a parallel port set to:  
IRQ 7 with I/O base address 378, or  
IRQ 5 with I/O base address 278  
Most computers automatically assign these. But, depending on your computer’s  
configuration, these settings may be different.  
Your parallel port may have a conflict with another device (such as your sound card  
or FAX/modem) if both are assigned the same IRQ or I/O settings. If there is a  
conflict, change the settings on the other device. To find out if your computer has a  
conflict:  
Technical Information  
39  
In Windows 95, right-click on the My Computer icon, select Properties, select the  
Device Manager tab, double-click on the computer icon to see a list of which device  
is using each resource setting on your computer.  
For optimum performance, run SCANDISK.EXE and DEFRAG.EXE on your hard  
drive (see “Achieving optimal performance” on page 30).  
Refer to your computer manual or contact your computer vendor if you have any  
questions about your computers configuration or capabilities.
