The 4C is a SCSI scanner.

Which means you have to have a SCSI card installed in your computer.

It does NOT connect to the parallel port. (LPT1)

The 4C came with a ISA SCSI card, which will not work in a PCI slot.
If you need a SCSI card go to EBAY and get one. Make sure the connector is
the correct one.

On Windows XP and Windows 2000 you must install ASPI for SCSI scanners.
