C.INSTALLING THE 32-BIT PRINT SPOOLER FOR WINDOWS 95

Your CD Color Printer ships with a print utility program called the 32-Bit Print Spooler. This print spooler is for use only with Windows 95. Once installed, the print spooler is able to process your print jobs and send them to the printer at consistently faster speeds than if sending print jobs through the Windows 95 print spooler. This is especially true if printing from a somewhat slower computer.

The 32-Bit Print Spooler is located on a single diskette and installs just like any other standard Windows 95 application program. To install the 32-Bit Print Spooler, refer to the following:

1.Insert the 32-Bit Print Spooler diskette into your computerÕs disk drive.
