System requirements for Windows 3.1

To use the printer, your computer system must meet these requirements:

mIBM PC or compatible, with an 80386 or higher CPU

mhard disk drive

mat least 4 megabytes (MB) of random-access memory (RAM)

mMicrosoft Windows 3.1 or higher or Windows for Workgroups 3.11 or higher

mCD-ROM drive or 3.5-inch floppy disk drive that reads 1.44 MB disks

mNetWare requires an 80386 CPU with NetWare version 3.12 or higher

Installing all the printer software requires approximately 3.5 MB of free space on your hard disk.

Before you begin

Set up the printer as described in Chapter 1, remembering to

munpack and prepare the printer

mconnect the printer to your NetWare network using Ethernet cables or through a direct parallel connection to a PC.

mplug in and turn on the printer (Keep the startup page that automatically prints out. It provides the default printer name you need for setup.)

Setting up for DOS-based printing

If you will be printing from DOS applications only, you do not need to install any of the software that came with the printer. However, to print from a DOS application, you must first install the DOS PostScript driver if one exists for your DOS application. The DOS PostScript driver is usually supplied with the DOS application. Follow your application’s instructions for installation and printing. See also “DOS Notes” in Chapter 7.
