Installing the Printer Driver

The Datacard printer driver for Windows 95 or 98 creates CPX ports. CPX ports are virtual ports that use your existing COM ports to communicate with your Datacard printer. No additional hardware is needed. Setting up an additional port in this way tells Windows to use a software component (called a Port Monitor) for printing to your Datacard printer.

1.From the Windows Start button, choose Settings and then Printers. The Printers dialog box appears.

2.Double-click the Add Printer icon. The Add Printer Wizard dialog box appears.

3.Click the Next button.

4.If the computer is on a network, the following dialog box appears. Select Local printer and then click the Next button.

5.Click the Have Disk button on the next window.
