NOTE

The Color ID Card Printer can be used with virtually any Microsoft Windows 3.1x or Windows 95 software application program. Before printing, you must tell the application that youÕre using the Color ID Card Printer. This is accomplished the first time you use the printer by installing in Windows what is called a Òprinter driver.Ó The printer driver is simply a diskette with software on it that gives the printer the proper commands it needs in order to print. After youÕve installed the driver, put the driver diskette away in a safe place for possible future use.

This section of the Operator’s Manual assumes that you are already familiar with Windows and know how it operates. If you are not yet familiar with Windows, consult the appropriate Microsoft documentation to become familiar with the basics of Windows before proceeding.

Windows 95

To install the printer driver into Windows 95, refer to the following:

1.Insert the printer driver diskette into your computerÕs disk drive.

2.Click the Start button, point to Settings, and select Printers.
