<H3><A NAME="instcbm examples"></A> instcbm Examples</H3>

<P>Install the driver and the DLL on the machine. The driver and the DLL
are copied into the Windows system directory, so OpenCBM can be used from
every program:
<HR>
<PRE>
instcbm
</PRE>
<HR>
</P>

<P>Install the driver, like above. Additionally, specify that you
are using an XM1541 cable:
<HR>
<PRE>
instcbm --cabletype=xm1541
</PRE>
<HR>
</P>

<P>Check if the installation was set up successfully:
<HR>
<PRE>
instcbm --check
</PRE>
<HR>
</P>

<P>Remove the driver from the system. You will not be able to use OpenCBM
after this command, unless you re-install it. If files were copied into
the Windows system directory, they will be removed:
<HR>
<PRE>
instcbm --remove
</PRE>
<HR>
</P>

<P>After OpenCBM has been installed (with <I>instcbm</I>>), change the parallel
port to be used to 2:
<HR>
<PRE>
instcbm --lpt=2 --update
</PRE>
<HR>
</P>

<P>Install OpenCBM, directly specifying LPT3 as the parallel port to use:
<HR>
<PRE>
instcbm --lpt=3
</PRE>
<HR>
</P>

<P>Install the DLL and the driver on the machine. Do not copy the files to the
Windows system directory, but leave them "where they are". If you use this
option, the directory where your files resides must be accessible for the
system while booting. For example, network drives, USB drives or FireWire
drives are not allowed.
<HR>
<PRE>
instcbm --nocopy
</PRE>
<HR>
</P>
