disk window. Then double-click on the READ ME

 

file to get the latest information about the driver

 

and the installation process. Carefully read the

 

document as it will help you get the best results

 

from your printer. Select Quit from the File menu

 

when you are done reading.

 

Now, double-click on the PrimeraPro Installer icon.

 

When the Installer window appears, select the

 

options you would like the installer program to

 

install. In most instances, the default selections will

 

suffice. For a description of each of these options,

 

refer to the notes found in the box directly above

 

these options (use the up and down arrows to scroll

 

through the notes). Once the desired options are

 

selected, click on Install. If the driver is on multiple

 

disks, the installer will prompt you as to when each

 

disk is to be inserted. The appropriate files will

 

automatically install onto your computer. An alert

 

box will then display indicating that installation is

 

complete. Click on OK to exit the Installer.

NOTE

As an added feature, a print utility called the FARGO

 

Backgrounder is included with your PrimeraPro printer

 

driver. Although installing this feature is not essential to

 

the initial operation of the printer, you may wish to

 

utilize the Backgrounder at a later date. For installation

 

instructions and for more information on the FARGO

 

Backgrounder, refer to Section 8 of this manual.

 

The Chooser

 

The Chooser is a Desk Accessory in the Apple

 

menu. Before you can use the PrimeraPro color

 

printer, you need to select the FARGO printer driver

 

using the Chooser. This instructs the Macintosh to

 

send documents to the PrimeraPro, instead of to the

 

LaserWriter¨ or to the ImageWriter¨.

 

The Chooser displays an icon for all the printer

 

drivers in the System Folder (you may need to

 

scroll through the list to see all of them). You should

 

see the icon for the FARGO driver that was copied

 

from the original floppy disk. If you do not see the

 

driver, go through the above installation procedure

 

once more making sure that the Install Driver box

 

is selected before you click on Install.

 

Click on the icon for the FARGO PrimeraPro and

 

make AppleTalk active. Select your printer from the

 

list of FARGO printers on the right side of the

 

ChooserÕs dialog box. The PrimeraPro uses an

 

automatic naming convention and does not support

 

the Apple Namer program. The first printer
