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

box will then display indicating that installation is

 

complete. Click on OK to exit the Installer.

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.

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

is selected before you click on Install.
