B.Installing the Amiga Printer Drivers

PrimeraPro can be used with a variety of Amiga software application programs. If your application program allows printing, it will more than likely be compatible with PrimeraPro. Before printing, you must first install the PrimeraPro printer driver and the FARGO: device print program for the Amiga.

The PrimeraPro driver, the FARGO: device print program, and the installation software have been provided on an Amiga DOS, 3.5Ó diskette. To install the printer software, insert the diskette in an available drive, open the disk icon and double-click the Install icon. The installation program will then install PrimeraProÕs Preferences printer driver and the FARGO: device print program. Installation may also be done from a shell prompt. View the READ ME file for instructions. Both the Preferences printer driver and the FARGO: device print program are explained in the following sections.
