A. INSTALLING THE PRINTER DRIVER

The supplied Windows printer driver is used for applications running under Windows 95/98/Me and Windows 2000/NT. You may use any popular software application as long as it runs under Windows and it is capable of printing to a standard Windows printer driver.

When you use the Windows printer driver, all fonts, graphics, bar codes and other label data are received in graphics bit-map mode from the PC, interpreted by the printer driver, and printed. This is the most convenient and easiest way to use the printer and is recommended for all new applications. You will have the full range of TrueType® fonts available to you for printing, opening up literally thousands of possible typefaces for your label designs. You’ll also be able to use the many powerful Windows graphics and photo editing tools that are familiar to most computer users today. This section gives an overview of the specific printer driver options that you’ll need to know about when printing under Windows.

Under the root directory of the CD there are several sub- directories

-WIN98/Me

-WIN95

-WIN2000

-NT4.0

-DOS

-UTILITY

Select the proper directory for installation according to your operating system.
