I am using Win95 and there was not a card included - all Win95
software and a serial cable to a 9 pin port.  It is a Vx.

The Mx and Vx are basically the same.   They are advertised as Mx
for Win95 and Vx for Apple.  It seems to me when the Vx first came
out (no Mx at the time) it was build for both.  This was a factory
refurbished one ($50.00) and fit my need exactly.

Anyway it works from a parallel port on a Pentium running Win95.

A couple of issues come to mind with this post:

1) The Paperport Vx scanner is built for Macintosh/Apple computers
     and if that is the system you are using this whole question is
     OFF TOPIC.

2) If in fact you have attached the VX scanner to a PC/IBM based
    system, this scanner uses a SCSI card and not a LPT/parallel
    port.   In other words the scanner's card is not compatible with
    your printer port.

I believe we need a little clairification on this question.  Please
tell
us what Operating System you are using and have you varified in
your user manual for the scanner if it is indeed a parallel port
attached
scanner?   We need a bit more information to in order to assist you.
